Implementation Review Mode

Workflow is backend-split. Read workflow-common.md for Phase 0 (backend detection + philosophy + trivial-diff triage), then read ONLY the file matching your active backend. The opt-in --deep/--validate/--interactive phase detail (including the phase-ordering matrix) lives in optional-phases.md, loaded only when a flag fires:

BACKEND=codex → workflow-codex.md
BACKEND=copilot → workflow-copilot.md
BACKEND=cursor → workflow-cursor.md
BACKEND=claude → workflow-claude.md
BACKEND=host → workflow-host.md
BACKEND=rp → workflow-rp.md

Do not load the others — only the active backend's file is needed. Each backend file carries its own Critical Rules and anti-patterns.

Conduct a John Carmack-level review of implementation changes on the current branch.

Role: Code Review Coordinator (NOT the reviewer) Backends (branch on the Phase 0 RP_ELIGIBLE probe):

When RP_ELIGIBLE=1: RepoPrompt (rp), Codex CLI (codex), GitHub Copilot CLI (copilot), Cursor CLI (cursor), Claude Code CLI (claude), or host-native (host)
When RP_ELIGIBLE=0: Codex CLI (codex), GitHub Copilot CLI (copilot), Cursor CLI (cursor), Claude Code CLI (claude), or host-native (host) — rp is macOS-only; never list it in guidance you surface (--review=rp stays accepted)

Preamble — execute Phase 0 exactly once

The executable Phase 0 lives in workflow-common.md §"Phase 0: Backend Detection" — Read it and execute it ONCE, before any other bash in this skill. It defines $FLOWCTL (bundled — NOT installed globally; which flowctl fails, expected), probes RP_ELIGIBLE, resolves $BACKEND via the single flowctl review-backend call, and handles the ASK / none cases. Every later bash block here (triage, deep-pass selection) uses the $FLOWCTL it defines. Never invoke flowctl review-backend a second time in the same run.

Exception: a --review=<backend> argument (see Backend Selection below) wins — when present, set BACKEND from the flag and skip Phase 0's review-backend call + ASK handling (still run its $FLOWCTL / RP_ELIGIBLE setup lines).

When RP_ELIGIBLE=0 (not macOS, no supported RepoPrompt CLI), never steer the user toward rp: every backend summary, recommendation, or override hint you surface presents only the runnable configured backends codex, copilot, cursor, claude, host (plus none). export is not an impl-review mode at all — a manual export review lives in /flow-next:plan-review --review=export; never present it here. Suppression is not a ban: an explicit --review=rp, FLOW_REVIEW_BACKEND=rp, or review.backend=rp still resolves to rp and errors at runtime via require_rp_cli().

Backend Selection

Priority (first match wins):

--review=rp|codex|copilot|cursor|claude|host|none argument
FLOW_REVIEW_BACKEND env var — bare backend (rp, codex, copilot, cursor, claude, host, none) OR spec form (codex:<model>:xhigh, copilot:<model>, cursor:<model>, claude:<model>:<effort>); host is bare-only (host:<model> is rejected)
.flow/config.json → review.backend (same bare / spec forms)
Error - no auto-detection

Parse from arguments first

Check $ARGUMENTS for:

--review=rp or --review rp → use rp
--review=codex or --review codex → use codex
--review=copilot or --review copilot → use copilot
--review=cursor or --review cursor → use cursor
--review=claude or --review claude → use claude
--review=host or --review host → use host
--review=export or --review export → fail closed: report that export is not an impl-review backend and stop before any dispatch; the manual path is /flow-next:plan-review --review=export
--review=none or --review none → skip review

If found, use that backend and skip all other detection.

Otherwise: Phase 0 resolves it

No --review flag → $BACKEND comes from workflow-common.md Phase 0 (executed once per the Preamble): the single flowctl review-backend "$REVIEW_ID" call with ASK handling included. Do not re-resolve here.

Backend detail (model / effort / spec grammar) — on demand

The per-backend "at a glance" descriptions, the backend[:model[:effort]] spec grammar, and the FLOW_REVIEW_BACKEND spec-form examples live in references/backend-specs.md. Read it only when you must surface backend guidance to the user or resolve a model/effort spec — a normal review already has $BACKEND and needs nothing from it. When RP_ELIGIBLE=0, omit the rp line from any guidance you surface (explicit --review=rp still honored).

Critical Rules

Per-backend rules for rp, codex, copilot, cursor, and claude live at the top of each workflow-<backend>.md — read the active backend's file (routing table above) and follow its Critical Rules section.

For host backend (fn-123 R5 / fn-126): host is bare-only. After selection, read workflow-host.md. The review must use a fresh, tool-enforced read-only reviewer from a different model family and fail closed when no cross-family pin is available.

For all backends:

If REVIEW_RECEIPT_PATH set: write receipt after review (any verdict)
Any failure → output <promise>RETRY</promise> and stop

Hard invariants:

The coordinator never authors a verdict. A SHIP with no backend response behind it has broken this.
One backend per review. A transcript that dispatches a second backend after the first answered has broken this.
Review is never skipped without consent. A none backend that ends the run without the user's consent has broken this.

Input

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS Format: [task ID] [--base <commit>] [--validate] [--deep[=passes]] [--interactive] [focus areas]

--base <commit> - Compare against this commit instead of main/master (for task-scoped reviews)
--validate - After NEEDS_WORK verdict, run a validator pass that drops false-positive findings (fn-32.1, opt-in)
--deep / --deep=<passes> - Run additional specialized passes (adversarial / security / performance) after primary review (fn-32.2, opt-in)
--interactive - On NEEDS_WORK, walk through each finding with the user (Apply/Defer/Skip/Acknowledge) (fn-32.3, opt-in, Ralph-incompatible)
Task ID - Optional, for context and receipt tracking
Focus areas - Optional, specific areas to examine

Scope behavior:

With --base: Reviews only changes since that commit (task-scoped)
Without --base: Reviews entire branch vs main/master (full branch review)

Opt-in flags (fn-32):

--validate — adds a validator pass on NEEDS_WORK that re-checks each finding for false positives. All findings dropping upgrades verdict to SHIP.
FLOW_VALIDATE_REVIEW=1 env var — enables --validate session-wide (works in Ralph).
--deep — adds adversarial pass always + security/performance auto-enabled per diff paths. --deep=adversarial,security restricts to listed passes.
FLOW_REVIEW_DEEP=1 env var — enables --deep session-wide (works in Ralph).
--interactive — per-finding walkthrough on NEEDS_WORK. No env var form — per-invocation only, always hard-errors in Ralph mode (REVIEW_RECEIPT_PATH or FLOW_RALPH=1) to prevent accidental autonomous engagement.
Default review behavior (no flags) is unchanged.

Step 0: Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

--base <commit> → BASE_COMMIT (if provided, use for scoped diff)
--no-triage → set TRIAGE_DISABLED=1 (skip trivial-diff pre-check)
--validate → set VALIDATE=true (fn-32.1 validator pass on NEEDS_WORK)
--deep / --deep=<passes> → set DEEP=true + optional DEEP_PASSES CSV (fn-32.2)
--interactive → set INTERACTIVE=true (fn-32.3 per-finding walkthrough on NEEDS_WORK; Ralph-blocked)
First positional arg matching fn-* → TASK_ID
Remaining args → focus areas

If --base not provided, BASE_COMMIT stays empty (will fall back to main/master).

Opt-in flags + env vars — ONE parse fence (fn-110) for --validate / --deep / --interactive:

VALIDATE=false
DEEP=false
DEEP_PASSES=""  # optional CSV: "adversarial,security"
INTERACTIVE=false
for arg in $(printf '%s\n' "$ARGUMENTS"); do   # command substitution word-splits under bash AND zsh; an unquoted $ARGUMENTS does not split under zsh (dogfood E1: --validate silently dropped)
  case "$arg" in
    --validate) VALIDATE=true ;;
    --deep) DEEP=true ;;
    --deep=*) DEEP=true; DEEP_PASSES="${arg#--deep=}" ;;
    --interactive) INTERACTIVE=true ;;
  esac
done

# Env opt-ins (Ralph-friendly). --interactive has NO env var form — per-invocation only.
if [[ "${FLOW_VALIDATE_REVIEW:-}" == "1" ]]; then
  VALIDATE=true
fi
if [[ "${FLOW_REVIEW_DEEP:-}" == "1" ]]; then
  DEEP=true
fi

# Optional-phase COUNT (PR #392): sizes the scope-ownership lease the backend
# workflows hold through the post-finalize phases (one exec allowance per
# pass). --deep counts one per selected pass (3 when unrestricted: adversarial
# + the auto-gated security/performance passes), --validate one,
# --interactive one. Carry this number into the finalize / host record blocks
# as a LITERAL - shell state does not survive across prompt turns.
OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT=0
if [[ "$DEEP" == "true" ]]; then
  if [[ -n "$DEEP_PASSES" ]]; then
    OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT=$((OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT + $(printf '%s' "$DEEP_PASSES" | tr ',' '\n' | grep -c .)))
  else
    OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT=$((OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT + 3))
  fi
fi
[[ "$VALIDATE" == "true" ]] && OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT=$((OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT + 1))
[[ "$INTERACTIVE" == "true" ]] && OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT=$((OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT + 1))
echo "OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT=$OPTIONAL_PHASES_COUNT"
# 1 when a held phase resumes the primary reviewer session (--deep /
# --validate); the interactive walkthrough alone never needs one.
PHASES_RESUME_SESSION=0
[[ "$DEEP" == "true" || "$VALIDATE" == "true" ]] && PHASES_RESUME_SESSION=1
echo "PHASES_RESUME_SESSION=$PHASES_RESUME_SESSION"

# Ralph-block (fn-32.3): Ralph must never engage interactive.
if [[ "$INTERACTIVE" == "true" ]]; then
  if [[ -n "${REVIEW_RECEIPT_PATH:-}" || "${FLOW_RALPH:-}" == "1" ]]; then
    echo "Error: --interactive requires a user at the terminal; not compatible with Ralph mode (REVIEW_RECEIPT_PATH or FLOW_RALPH detected)." >&2
    exit 2
  fi
fi

if [[ "$DEEP" == "true" || "$VALIDATE" == "true" || "$INTERACTIVE" == "true" ]]; then
  echo "OPTIONAL PHASES ACTIVE — STOP. Read optional-phases.md (deep=$DEEP validate=$VALIDATE interactive=$INTERACTIVE) before continuing."
fi

When that sentinel prints, STOP and Read optional-phases.md before any further step — it owns the phase-ordering + flag-combination matrix, the deep-pass selection bash, the validator dispatch, and the walkthrough steps (per-finding loop detail in walkthrough.md, pass prompt templates in deep-passes.md). All three phases are default-OFF: when no flag fires, run the primary review only and write no validator / deep_passes / walkthrough receipt keys.

Step 0.5: Trivial-diff triage (fn-29.6)

Before invoking the configured backend, run a fast pre-check that short-circuits lockfile-only, docs-only, release-chore, and generated-file diffs. On SKIP, the receipt is written with mode: "triage_skip" / verdict: "SHIP" and the expensive backend call is skipped entirely.

# Implementation Review Mode

**Workflow is backend-split. Read [workflow-common.md](workflow-common.md) for Phase 0 (backend detection + philosophy + trivial-diff triage), then read ONLY the file matching your active backend. The opt-in `--deep`/`--validate`/`--interactive` phase detail (including the phase-ordering matrix) lives in [optional-phases.md](optional-phases.md), loaded only when a flag fires:**

- `BACKEND=codex` → [workflow-codex.md](workflow-codex.md)
- `BACKEND=copilot` → [workflow-copilot.md](workflow-copilot.md)
- `BACKEND=cursor` → [workflow-cursor.md](workflow-cursor.md)
- `BACKEND=claude` → [workflow-claude.md](workflow-claude.md)
- `BACKEND=host` → [workflow-host.md](workflow-host.md)
- `BACKEND=rp` → [workflow-rp.md](workflow-rp.md)

Do not load the others — only the active backend's file is needed. Each backend file carries its own Critical Rules and anti-patterns.

Conduct a John Carmack-level review of implementation changes on the current branch.

**Role**: Code Review Coordinator (NOT the reviewer)
**Backends** (branch on the Phase 0 `RP_ELIGIBLE` probe):
- When `RP_ELIGIBLE=1`: RepoPrompt (rp), Codex CLI (codex), GitHub Copilot CLI (copilot), Cursor CLI (cursor), Claude Code CLI (claude), or host-native (`host`)
- When `RP_ELIGIBLE=0`: Codex CLI (codex), GitHub Copilot CLI (copilot), Cursor CLI (cursor), Claude Code CLI (claude), or host-native (`host`) — rp is macOS-only; never list it in guidance you surface (`--review=rp` stays accepted)

## Preamble — execute Phase 0 exactly once

**The executable Phase 0 lives in [workflow-common.md](workflow-common.md) §"Phase 0: Backend Detection" — Read it and execute it ONCE, before any other bash in this skill.** It defines `$FLOWCTL` (bundled — NOT installed globally; `which flowctl` fails, expected), probes `RP_ELIGIBLE`, resolves `$BACKEND` via the single `flowctl review-backend` call, and handles the ASK / `none` cases. Every later bash block here (triage, deep-pass selection) uses the `$FLOWCTL` it defines. Never invoke `flowctl review-backend` a second time in the same run.

Exception: a `--review=<backend>` argument (see Backend Selection below) wins — when present, set `BACKEND` from the flag and skip Phase 0's `review-backend` call + ASK handling (still run its `$FLOWCTL` / `RP_ELIGIBLE` setup lines).

When `RP_ELIGIBLE=0` (not macOS, no supported RepoPrompt CLI), never *steer* the user toward rp: every backend summary, recommendation, or override hint you surface presents only the runnable configured backends `codex`, `copilot`, `cursor`, `claude`, `host` (plus `none`). `export` is not an impl-review mode at all — a manual export review lives in `/flow-next:plan-review --review=export`; never present it here. Suppression is not a ban: an explicit `--review=rp`, `FLOW_REVIEW_BACKEND=rp`, or `review.backend=rp` still resolves to rp and errors at runtime via `require_rp_cli()`.

## Backend Selection

**Priority** (first match wins):
1. `--review=rp|codex|copilot|cursor|claude|host|none` argument
2. `FLOW_REVIEW_BACKEND` env var — bare backend (`rp`, `codex`, `copilot`, `cursor`, `claude`, `host`, `none`) OR spec form (`codex:<model>:xhigh`, `copilot:<model>`, `cursor:<model>`, `claude:<model>:<effort>`); `host` is bare-only (`host:<model>` is rejected)
3. `.flow/config.json` → `review.backend` (same bare / spec forms)
4. **Error** - no auto-detection

### Parse from arguments first

Check $ARGUMENTS for:
- `--review=rp` or `--review rp` → use rp
- `--review=codex` or `--review codex` → use codex
- `--review=copilot` or `--review copilot` → use copilot
- `--review=cursor` or `--review cursor` → use cursor
- `--review=claude` or `--review claude` → use claude
- `--review=host` or `--review host` → use host
- `--review=export` or `--review export` → fail closed: report that `export` is not an impl-review backend and stop before any dispatch; the manual path is `/flow-next:plan-review --review=export`
- `--review=none` or `--review none` → skip review

If found, use that backend and skip all other detection.

### Otherwise: Phase 0 resolves it

No `--review` flag → `$BACKEND` comes from [workflow-common.md](workflow-common.md) Phase 0 (executed once per the Preamble): the single `flowctl review-backend "$REVIEW_ID"` call with ASK handling included. Do not re-resolve here.

### Backend detail (model / effort / spec grammar) — on demand

The per-backend "at a glance" descriptions, the `backend[:model[:effort]]` spec grammar, and the `FLOW_REVIEW_BACKEND` spec-form examples live in [references/backend-specs.md](references/backend-specs.md). Read it only when you must surface backend guidance to the user or resolve a model/effort spec — a normal review already has `$BACKEND` and needs nothing from it. When `RP_ELIGIBLE=0`, omit the **rp** line from any guidance you surface (explicit `--review=rp` still honored).

## Critical Rules

**Per-backend rules** for `rp`, `codex`, `copilot`, `cursor`, and `claude` live at the top of each `workflow-<backend>.md` — read the active backend's file (routing table above) and follow its Critical Rules section.

**For host backend (fn-123 R5 / fn-126):**
`host` is bare-only. After selection, read [workflow-host.md](workflow-host.md).
The review must use a fresh, tool-enforced read-only reviewer from a different
model family and fail closed when no cross-family pin is available.

**For all backends:**
- If `REVIEW_RECEIPT_PATH` set: write receipt after review (any verdict)
- Any failure → output `<promise>RETRY</promise>` and stop

**Hard invariants:**
- **The coordinator never authors a verdict.** A SHIP with no backend response behind it has broken this.
- **One backend per review.** A transcript that dispatches a second backend after the first answered has broken this.
- **Review is never skipped without consent.** A `none` backend that ends the run without the user's consent has broken this.

- `--interactive` → set `INTERACTIVE=true` (fn-32.3 per-finding walkthrough on NEEDS_WORK; Ralph-blocked)
- First positional arg matching `fn-*` → `TASK_ID`
- Remaining args → focus areas

If `--base` not provided, `BASE_COMMIT` stays empty (will fall back to main/master).

When that sentinel prints, STOP and Read [optional-phases.md](optional-phases.md) before any further step — it owns the phase-ordering + flag-combination matrix, the deep-pass selection bash, the validator dispatch, and the walkthrough steps (per-finding loop detail in [walkthrough.md](walkthrough.md), pass prompt templates in [deep-passes.md](deep-passes.md)). All three phases are default-OFF: when no flag fires, run the primary review only and write no `validator` / `deep_passes` / `walkthrough` receipt keys.

The skill is highly complex with multiple workflow files, backend-specific instructions, and optional phases, which may be overwhelming for users and increase the risk of misconfiguration.
It depends on external CLI backends (Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Claude, RepoPrompt) that must be installed and configured; the skill does not provide installation guidance.
The skill uses a bundled `flowctl` tool that is not globally installed, which could confuse users expecting a standard CLI.
