Agent Reviewer (Story)

Runs parallel external agent reviews on validated Story and Tasks, critically verifies suggestions, returns editorial improvements.

Purpose & Scope

Worker in ln-310 validation pipeline (invoked in Phase 5)
Run codex-review + gemini-review as background tasks in parallel
Process results as they arrive (first-finished agent processed immediately)
Critically verify each suggestion; debate with agent if Claude disagrees
Return filtered, deduplicated, verified suggestions for Story/Tasks improvement
Health check + prompt execution in single invocation

When to Use

Invoked by ln-310-story-validator Phase 5 (Agent Review)
After Phase 4 auto-fixes applied (Penalty Points reduced; Before/After per ln-310)
Story and Tasks are in their final form before approval

Parameters

| Parameter | Value | |-----------|-------| | review_type | storyreview | | skill_group | 311 | | prompt_template | shared/agents/prompt_templates/story_review.md | | verdict_acceptable | STORY_ACCEPTABLE |

Inputs

| Input | Required | Source | Description | |-------|----------|--------|-------------| | storyId | Yes | args, git branch, kanban, user | Story to process |

Resolution: Story Resolution Chain. Status filter: Backlog

Workflow

MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/input_resolution_pattern.md, shared/references/tools_config_guide.md, shared/references/storage_mode_detection.md, shared/references/agent_review_workflow.md, and shared/references/agent_delegation_pattern.md.

Phase 0: Resolve Inputs & Tools Config

Resolve storyId (per input_resolution_pattern.md):
- IF args provided → use args
- ELSE IF git branch matches feature/{id}-* → extract id
- ELSE IF kanban has exactly 1 Story in [Backlog] → suggest
- ELSE → AskUserQuestion: show Stories from kanban filtered by [Backlog]
Extract: task_provider from docs/tools_config.md (per tools_config_guide.md).

Unique Steps (before shared workflow)

Health check: per shared workflow, filter by skill_group = 311.
Get references:
- IF task_provider = linear: get_issue(storyId) → extract URL + identifier. list_issues(filter: {parent: {id: storyId}}) → extract child Task URLs/identifiers.
- IF task_provider = file: Read story.md → extract path. Glob("docs/tasks/epics/*/stories/*/tasks/*.md") → extract child Task file paths.
Ensure .agent-review/: per shared workflow.
Build prompt: Read template shared/agents/prompt_templates/story_review.md.
- Replace {story_ref} with - Linear: {url} or - File: {path}
- Replace {task_refs} with bullet list: - {identifier}: {url_or_path} per task
- Save to .agent-review/{identifier}_storyreview_prompt.md (single shared file -- both agents read the same prompt)

Shared Workflow Steps

5-8) Load Review Memory, Run agents, Critical Verification + Debate, Aggregate + Return: per shared workflow.

{review_type} = "Story/Tasks" (for challenge template)

Save Review Summary: per shared workflow "Step: Save Review Summary".

Output Format

verdict: STORY_ACCEPTABLE | SUGGESTIONS | SKIPPED
suggestions:
  - area: "security | performance | architecture | feasibility | best_practices | risk_analysis"
    issue: "What is wrong or could be improved"
    suggestion: "Specific change to Story or Tasks"
    confidence: 95
    impact_percent: 15
    source: "codex-review"
    resolution: "accepted | accepted_after_debate | accepted_after_followup | rejected"

Agent stats and debate log per shared workflow output schema.

Fallback Rules

Per shared workflow, plus:

| Condition | Action | |-----------|--------| | Parent skill (ln-310) | Falls back to Self-Review (native Claude) |

Verdict Escalation

No escalation. Suggestions are editorial only -- they modify Story/Tasks text.
Parent skill (ln-310) Gate verdict remains unchanged by agent suggestions.

Critical Rules (additional)

MANDATORY INVOCATION: Parent skills MUST invoke this skill. Returns SKIPPED gracefully if agents unavailable. Parent must NOT pre-check and skip.
