About w-review
w-review is a read-only skill for reviewing a specified diff, branch, PR, or working tree against its intended behavior. It focuses findings on evidence, changed behavior, and failure paths, while distinguishing inspection from test verification.
Key features
- 01Understand triggers and expected behavior
- 02Use tests to assess exercised claims
- 03Split review across read-only explorers
- 04Validate defects with concrete evidence
- 05Rank findings by impact and suggest remedies
- 06Distinguish inspection from test results
Use cases
- 01Review a code change before merge
- 02Check failure paths in changed behavior
- 03Assess whether tests support implementation claims
- 04Produce actionable, evidence-based findings

Details
From the project READMEUse the specified diff, branch, PR, or working tree and its intended behavior. Remain read-only unless fixes are also requested.
- Understand the trigger and expected result before judging the implementation. Read tests to learn which claims are actually exercised.
- Check the in-scope review dimensions, including docs/README when behavior changed. Spawn 2–3 read-only explorers that split those dimensions. Concentrate on changed behavior, callers, and failure paths. Skip dimensions that are out of scope and say so.
- Validate suspected defects with a concrete execution path, failing case, or source evidence. Do not invent timings or vulnerabilities from appearances.
- Challenge verification claims. Order findings by impact with file/line, trigger, consequence, and smallest useful remedy. An inspection is not proof that tests passed and is not approval to merge.
