• issue-validator - Validates issue authenticity
• issue-resolver - Implements fixes
• issue-reviewer - Verifies fixes
• issue-merger - Handles merges
• issue-publisher - Communicates with users

## Developer Review Required

**Issue**: [Issue title]
**Stage**: [review|merge]
**Reason**: [Why human review is needed]

### Current State
- Status: [current status]
- Branch: [branch name]
- Changes: [summary of changes]

### Action Needed
[Specific action requested from developer]

Best Practices

1. Always track issues in vibe-kanban
2. Keep users informed at each stage
3. Document decisions for future reference
4. Escalate early when stuck
5. Close the loop by publishing results
