Cardio Review

The Cardiologist (GPT-4.1-mini) provides cross-examination reviews that combine external analysis with neurologist blind-spot detection.

When to Use

• After implementing a significant change (>3 files touched)
• Before merging a feature branch
• When you want an external perspective on an architectural decision
• When git context would help (pass recent changes for targeted review)

How It Works

1. Cardiologist analyzes the topic independently
2. Neurologist identifies blind spots the cardiologist might miss
3. Results are synthesized with any dissent preserved
4. Recommendations generated

With Git Context

Pass --git-context to include recent changes:

3s cardio-review "authentication refactor" --git-context "$(git diff HEAD~3)"

The cardiologist will analyze the actual code changes alongside the topic.

Output

• cardiologist_findings — external analysis
• neurologist_blind_spots — what the cardiologist might have missed
• synthesis — combined view
• dissent — any unresolved disagreements (preserved, not hidden)
• recommendations — actionable next steps
