[USER] Dispatch a review skill as two parallel worktree-isolated agents (cooperative steelman + adversarial attacker) and reconcile their findings — the canonical two-voice review pass

[USER] 7-pass foundational architecture review — framework, persistence + tenancy, trust boundaries + auth + data classification, observability + deploy, design system, branch/release, system-level threat model. Each pass produces an ADR. Plus adversarial counter-pass.

[USER] PR Copilot review loop — GraphQL trigger (REST + gh CLI silently no-op on bots), GraphQL verify, address-and-rerequest cycle, stop at NITs-only OR 5 rounds

[USER] Feature-design-from-scratch gate — scenarios, MVP cut, deferral list, integration, failure modes; plus product-overlap + OSS-alternatives + adversarial counter-pass

[USER] Profile this project's bug-loop tooling (issue tracker / observability / reproduce) into a routing-only, secret-free apex.profile.toml — probes deps, CI configs, connected MCP servers, and the git remote; auto-fills what it can infer, asks for the rest

Review a single Architecture Decision Record (ADR) before locking it in or accepting an amendment. 5-element audit — context, decision, alternatives, consequences (including security + cost + reversibility), status field. Plus adversarial counter-pass. Pairs with apex:architecture-design (produces 7 ADRs at project start) and runs at every amendment. Fires when authoring or reviewing an ADR — initial set, amendment to an existing one, or supersession. Keywords: ADR, architecture decision record, amendment, supersession, decision log.

Canonical dispatch mechanic for running any apex review skill (design, plan, implementation, PR) as two parallel worktree-isolated agents with opposite framings — cooperative steelman + adversarial attacker — then reconciling their findings. Promoted from prose in CLAUDE.md / design-feature into a first-class skill so every phase-routed review skill points to one source of truth for HOW to dispatch the pair. Pairs with apex:design-review, apex:impl-plan-review, apex:ai-pre-review-checklist, apex:threat-model (any of which can be the review skill the pair runs). Fires after design, plan, or implementation of a non-trivial change, before declaring the artifact frozen / ready / done. Keywords: adversarial pair, parallel review, cooperative agent, adversarial agent, steelman, attack pass, two-agent review, worktree review, cold pass.

9-step pre-PR robustness gate for any AI-assisted branch — force branch explanation, layering, state ownership, concurrency, success/failure/fallback, test quality, consumer-tracing, reviewer simulation, unvalidated gaps. Run this BEFORE you reach `git push`. The skill walks each step's full prompt against an assistant. Fires when a feature branch is ready for review and AI wrote or refactored code. Keywords: pre-review, ai-assisted, pr readiness, reviewer simulation, robustness gate, before push.

Opinionated SDLC framework — plan before coding, reconnaissance before design, adversarial design checklist with alternatives and critiques, phase-routed skill gates for planning/implementing/reviewing, port-verification discipline. Fires when planning a non-trivial change, designing a new endpoint or service, refactoring across files, shrinking a bloated PR or design, adding support for a new scope/source/kind/variant, opening a PR, or reviewing changes. Keywords: plan, design, refactor, endpoint, payload, review, PR, implement, ship, shrink, bloated, minimal diff, support a new, subtractive design, reconnaissance, recon.

Reviews API endpoints and response payloads from the *consumer's* perspective — does each field earn its place, is the error shape actionable, is the function over-scoped, are timeouts justified. Complements python-review / typescript-review (which check producer-side correctness) by adding the "does this surface deserve to exist as designed" lens. Fires when reviewing a new endpoint, a new request/response Pydantic/Zod model, a new service handler, or a payload definition. Keywords: api review, endpoint review, payload shape, response model, request model, api design, rest, handler, service function.

Terse wrapper, full-fidelity reasoning. Cuts preamble/transitions/summaries; exempts apex's load-bearing zones (adversarial counter-passes, finding evidence, freeze rationale) which expand to whatever the argument needs.
