Delve

All subagent dispatches use disk-mediated dispatch. See shared/dispatch-convention.md for the full protocol.

The finder angles, the verify gate, the effort tiers, and the output schema are NOT redefined here — they live in shared/delve-engine.md. /delve is the thin standalone driver of that engine: it resolves a scope, runs the engine once, and handles output (report / optional --fix / optional --comment).

The severity and verdict vocabularies the findings carry are the contract's, not delve's. See shared/severity-verdict-contract.md.

/delve is the standalone instance reviewer of the review trio. It owns ONE concrete defect with one reproduction (even across files); it does not own systemic patterns (that is /audit), the merge gate (that is /temper), or codebase exploration (that is /recon / /prospector).

Authored fresh, clean retro slate. delve is a freshly-authored fan-out wrapper — nothing is seeded from any existing skill, and it inherits none of the old code_review forge-retrospective lessons (that lineage forks to temper). On Claude Code the built-in /code-review still exists; there is no collision (different name), and the built-in stays an optional accelerator, never a dependency (I1).
