Reviewer Pattern — Skills

Pattern: Reviewer
Component: skills.md
Version: 1.1 | Updated: 2026-07-16


Skill Path Why required
Code review ../../03-skill-engineering/skills/code-review.skill.md Five-pass procedure and verdict format
Security 03-skill-engineering/skills/security.skill.md Trust-boundary and injection review
Debug ../../03-skill-engineering/skills/debug.skill.md Reproduce suspected defects before blocking

Skill activation triggers

  1. Code review skill — always for this pattern
  2. Security skill — PII, payments, public internet, auth changes, or IS_AI=yes
  3. Debug skill — when a suspected defect needs reproduction before a Block verdict

Verification that skills worked

  • Code review: all five passes addressed or explicitly scoped out
  • Security: every entry point traced or marked N/A with reason
  • Debug: blocking claims include reproduction steps or “could not reproduce” + residual risk
