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 = 0
• 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 (from parent skill)

• storyId: Linear Story identifier (e.g., "PROJ-123")

Workflow

MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/agent_review_workflow.md for Health Check, Ensure .agent-review/, Load Review Memory, Run Agents, Critical Verification + Debate, Aggregate + Return, Save Review Summary, Fallback Rules, Critical Rules, and Definition of Done. Load shared/references/agent_delegation_pattern.md for Reference Passing Pattern, Review Persistence Pattern, Agent Timeout Policy, and Debate Protocol.

Unique Steps (before shared workflow)

1. Health check: per shared workflow, filter by skill_group = 311.

2. Get references: Call Linear MCP get_issue(storyId) -> extract URL + identifier. Call list_issues(filter: {parent: {id: storyId}}) -> extract child Task URLs/identifiers.

   • If project stores tasks locally (e.g., docs/tasks/) -> use local file paths instead of Linear URLs.

3. Ensure .agent-review/: per shared workflow.

4. 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)

9. 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.
