Spec Review Gate

Core principle: No execution plan or decision RFC reaches the user without surviving adversarial scrutiny. No leniency. "Close enough" is FAIL. A structurally neat but repo-wrong plan is FAIL.

How it works: This skill runs inline in the calling agent's context (no subagents). The calling LLM acts as an independent auditor, reads the saved artifact, and checks it against 3 criteria using Read/Grep/Glob. The value is fail-closed blocking and adversarial framing, not reviewer isolation — keep the auditor posture, but do not claim independence the gate doesn't have.

When to Skip

Skip when artifact is truly trivial: Single-file fix, copy edit, or config tweak with <3 changes and no architecture choice → return SPEC_GATE_PASS immediately.

The 3 Checks (Run in Sequence)

Check 1: Feasibility — Can this be executed against the real codebase?

Run these verifications using Read/Grep/Glob:

Criterion	How to verify	Blocking if
Artifact file exists on disk	`Glob(pattern="{plan_file_path}")` where plan_file_path is the path from the calling agent's context	Returns 0 matches
File paths exist	`Glob(pattern="{path}")` for every referenced file	Any path returns 0 matches and doesn't exist
Codebase reality check is present	Read artifact for `Codebase Reality Check`	Non-trivial plan omits repo-grounded verification of existing code
Dependency ordering	Read plan phases — do later phases depend on earlier ones only?	Circular or forward-reference dependencies
Technical approach matches codebase	Read 1-2 existing files in the affected area	Proposed patterns/libs differ from what codebase actually uses
No unstated infra assumptions	Read plan for external services, env vars, DBs	Plan silently assumes infra that doesn't exist
No invented or unverified file/module assumptions	Compare claimed touched surfaces to repo reality	Artifact presents guessed files/modules as verified facts
Plan mode fits the task	Read request + artifact: `direct`, `execution_plan`, or `decision_rfc`	Request changes ≥3 files or any contract/schema/auth surface while mode is `direct`; or request asks for a decision between alternatives and mode is not `decision_rfc`
Verification rigor fits risk	Check `verification_rigor` against the requested work	Critical-path work is missing `critical_path` rigor or claims proof it never defined

Critical-path work = auth, payment, data-destructive operations, migrations, or work the user labeled critical.

Check 2: Completeness — Does it cover the full request?

Read the user's original request and compare against the plan:

Criterion	How to verify	Blocking if
All requirements mapped	List each sentence of the user request; cite the plan item covering it	Any user requirement has no corresponding plan item
Verification steps defined	For each plan item, find its named test, command, or checklist	Any change has no way to verify it worked
Edge cases addressed	For each input surface the plan touches, find its empty, invalid, and failure case	An input surface's empty, invalid, or failure case is neither named nor covered by an explicit "why none applies" statement
Cross-file integration	Trace each touched surface to the callers/importers the plan names	missing touched surfaces or integration points
Plan-vs-code gaps surfaced	Read the artifact for the mismatch table; spot-check one claim against the code	A non-trivial plan omits the concrete mismatch table or hides contradictions with current code
Assumption ledger is honest	Read each important claim for its classification tag	Important claims are not classified as `proven_by_code`, `inferred`, or `needs_user_confirmation`
Phase dependency map is present	Read each phase for its depends-on/enables statements	Non-trivial phases do not say what they depend on or what they enable
Durable Decisions present for multi-phase plans	For multi-phase plans, read for a foundational-decisions section	A multi-phase plan omits foundational decisions (routes, schema, models, auth, third-party boundaries) that all phases should reference
Decision-grade content present when needed	For `decision_rfc`, read for alternatives, drawbacks, and references sections	A `decision_rfc` is missing alternatives, drawbacks, or references
Critical-path spec present when needed	For `critical_path`, read for each of the five required sections	A `critical_path` artifact is missing behavior contract, edge-case catalog, provable properties, purity boundary, or verification strategy

Check 3: Scope & Alignment — Is it right-sized and faithful?

Criterion	How to verify	Blocking if
Matches user request	Re-read the request; diff its ask against the plan's stated goal	Plan solves different problem or adds unrequested features
No scope creep	For each plan item, name the requirement it serves	Extra abstractions, refactoring, or features beyond the request
No under-scoping	List the request's direct implications; find each in the plan	Direct implications of the request are omitted
Execution order is real	Walk the phases in order; check each prerequisite exists in an earlier phase	wrong execution order or missing prerequisites
Complexity proportional	For each new file, abstraction, or dependency, cite the requirement row that needs it	The plan introduces a file, abstraction, or dependency that no requirement row maps to
Defaults are framed honestly	Check each recommended default is listed as still-open	A recommended default is treated as approved instead of still-open
Agreement fidelity holds	Read `Differences from agreement`; cross-check its claims against the body	`Differences from agreement` is missing, hidden, or contradicted by the body
Human layer matches execution contract	Compare each summary claim to the detailed plan body	Top summary or recommendation contradicts the detailed plan body
Hidden future work is explicit	Search the plan for "later", "follow-up", "eventually"; check each is explicit scope	Unscoped follow-on work is buried behind vague “later” language
Architecture contradictions are surfaced	Compare the plan's patterns to existing ADRs and code patterns	contradictions with existing architecture/patterns are hidden instead of made explicit

Workflow

1. Check if trivial → skip if yes (return SPEC_GATE_PASS)
2. Run Check 1: Feasibility (use Read/Grep/Glob to verify file paths)
3. Run Check 2: Completeness (read request vs plan)
4. Run Check 3: Scope & Alignment (read request vs plan)
5. Collect findings:
   - Zero BLOCKING issues across all 3 checks → SPEC_GATE_PASS
   - Any BLOCKING issue → SPEC_GATE_FAIL with specifics
   - There is no "APPROVED WITH COMMENTS" — comments get ignored; FAILs get fixed
6. IF SPEC_GATE_FAIL and iteration < 3:
   a. Present blocking issues clearly
   b. Revise the plan to address them
   c. Re-run checks (increment iteration counter)
   <!-- CC10X-M9: iteration counter is in-context only — not persisted to memory. If compaction occurs mid-retry, counter resets to 0 and gate may retry more than 3 times. Acceptable for now (gate still converges). -->
7. IF SPEC_GATE_FAIL after 3 iterations → ESCALATION: emit a blocking review result and stop — three failed revisions means the premise is wrong, not the wording

Output Format

SPEC_GATE_PASS

## Spec Gate — SPEC_GATE_PASS (iteration N of 3)

| Check | Result | Key Finding |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| Feasibility | PASS | [evidence: file paths verified / patterns match] |
| Completeness | PASS | [evidence: all N requirements mapped / required decision or proof sections present] |
| Alignment | PASS | [evidence: artifact matches request, no hidden defaults or scope creep] |

SPEC_GATE_FAIL

## Spec Gate — SPEC_GATE_FAIL (iteration N of 3)

| Check | Result | Blocking Issues |
|-------|--------|-----------------|
| Feasibility | PASS | — |
| Completeness | FAIL | [N] blocking issues |
| Alignment | FAIL | [N] blocking issues |

### Blocking Issues (MUST ADDRESS before returning PLAN_CREATED or DECISION_RFC_CREATED)
- [Check]: [specific issue with evidence]

Escalation (3/3 iterations, still failing)

## Spec Gate — ESCALATION REQUIRED (3/3 iterations exhausted)

### Remaining Blocking Issues
[List by check with evidence]

→ Do NOT question the user from this skill. Return blocking issues only. No suggestions, no softening, no collaborative rewrite advice. The planner decides how to revise or escalate.

Anti-Patterns

Anti-Pattern	Why Wrong
Skipping file path verification	Fabricated paths are the #1 plan failure mode
Accepting repo-agnostic summaries	A clean summary is worthless if the plan ignores real code constraints
Treating SPEC_GATE_FAIL as advisory	The gate must block PLAN_CREATED / DECISION_RFC_CREATED
Skipping for "simple" plans	Read the skip criteria — only truly trivial plans qualify
Accepting SPEC_GATE_PASS without evidence	Each check needs cited proof, not "looks fine" or "seems reasonable"
Ignoring plan-vs-code contradictions	Contradictions must be surfaced, not rewritten as assumptions
Reporting suggestions instead of verdicts	This gate is an auditor, not a collaborator

Overview

Use after saving a non-trivial plan or decision RFC when a fail-closed feasibility, completeness, and alignment review must block execution.

Spec Review Gate

Core principle: No execution plan or decision RFC reaches the user without surviving adversarial scrutiny. No leniency. "Close enough" is FAIL. A structurally neat but repo-wrong plan is FAIL.

When to Skip

Skip when artifact is truly trivial: Single-file fix, copy edit, or config tweak with <3 changes and no architecture choice → return SPEC_GATE_PASS immediately.

The 3 Checks (Run in Sequence)

Check 1: Feasibility — Can this be executed against the real codebase?

Run these verifications using Read/Grep/Glob:

Criterion	How to verify	Blocking if
Artifact file exists on disk	`Glob(pattern="{plan_file_path}")` where plan_file_path is the path from the calling agent's context	Returns 0 matches
File paths exist	`Glob(pattern="{path}")` for every referenced file	Any path returns 0 matches and doesn't exist
Codebase reality check is present	Read artifact for `Codebase Reality Check`	Non-trivial plan omits repo-grounded verification of existing code
Dependency ordering	Read plan phases — do later phases depend on earlier ones only?	Circular or forward-reference dependencies
Technical approach matches codebase	Read 1-2 existing files in the affected area	Proposed patterns/libs differ from what codebase actually uses
No unstated infra assumptions	Read plan for external services, env vars, DBs	Plan silently assumes infra that doesn't exist
No invented or unverified file/module assumptions	Compare claimed touched surfaces to repo reality	Artifact presents guessed files/modules as verified facts
Plan mode fits the task	Read request + artifact: `direct`, `execution_plan`, or `decision_rfc`	Request changes ≥3 files or any contract/schema/auth surface while mode is `direct`; or request asks for a decision between alternatives and mode is not `decision_rfc`
Verification rigor fits risk	Check `verification_rigor` against the requested work	Critical-path work is missing `critical_path` rigor or claims proof it never defined

Critical-path work = auth, payment, data-destructive operations, migrations, or work the user labeled critical.

Check 2: Completeness — Does it cover the full request?

Read the user's original request and compare against the plan:

Criterion	How to verify	Blocking if
All requirements mapped	List each sentence of the user request; cite the plan item covering it	Any user requirement has no corresponding plan item
Verification steps defined	For each plan item, find its named test, command, or checklist	Any change has no way to verify it worked
Edge cases addressed	For each input surface the plan touches, find its empty, invalid, and failure case	An input surface's empty, invalid, or failure case is neither named nor covered by an explicit "why none applies" statement
Cross-file integration	Trace each touched surface to the callers/importers the plan names	missing touched surfaces or integration points
Plan-vs-code gaps surfaced	Read the artifact for the mismatch table; spot-check one claim against the code	A non-trivial plan omits the concrete mismatch table or hides contradictions with current code
Assumption ledger is honest	Read each important claim for its classification tag	Important claims are not classified as `proven_by_code`, `inferred`, or `needs_user_confirmation`
Phase dependency map is present	Read each phase for its depends-on/enables statements	Non-trivial phases do not say what they depend on or what they enable
Durable Decisions present for multi-phase plans	For multi-phase plans, read for a foundational-decisions section	A multi-phase plan omits foundational decisions (routes, schema, models, auth, third-party boundaries) that all phases should reference
Decision-grade content present when needed	For `decision_rfc`, read for alternatives, drawbacks, and references sections	A `decision_rfc` is missing alternatives, drawbacks, or references
Critical-path spec present when needed	For `critical_path`, read for each of the five required sections	A `critical_path` artifact is missing behavior contract, edge-case catalog, provable properties, purity boundary, or verification strategy

Check 3: Scope & Alignment — Is it right-sized and faithful?

Criterion	How to verify	Blocking if
Matches user request	Re-read the request; diff its ask against the plan's stated goal	Plan solves different problem or adds unrequested features
No scope creep	For each plan item, name the requirement it serves	Extra abstractions, refactoring, or features beyond the request
No under-scoping	List the request's direct implications; find each in the plan	Direct implications of the request are omitted
Execution order is real	Walk the phases in order; check each prerequisite exists in an earlier phase	wrong execution order or missing prerequisites
Complexity proportional	For each new file, abstraction, or dependency, cite the requirement row that needs it	The plan introduces a file, abstraction, or dependency that no requirement row maps to
Defaults are framed honestly	Check each recommended default is listed as still-open	A recommended default is treated as approved instead of still-open
Agreement fidelity holds	Read `Differences from agreement`; cross-check its claims against the body	`Differences from agreement` is missing, hidden, or contradicted by the body
Human layer matches execution contract	Compare each summary claim to the detailed plan body	Top summary or recommendation contradicts the detailed plan body
Hidden future work is explicit	Search the plan for "later", "follow-up", "eventually"; check each is explicit scope	Unscoped follow-on work is buried behind vague “later” language
Architecture contradictions are surfaced	Compare the plan's patterns to existing ADRs and code patterns	contradictions with existing architecture/patterns are hidden instead of made explicit

Workflow

1. Check if trivial → skip if yes (return SPEC_GATE_PASS)
2. Run Check 1: Feasibility (use Read/Grep/Glob to verify file paths)
3. Run Check 2: Completeness (read request vs plan)
4. Run Check 3: Scope & Alignment (read request vs plan)
5. Collect findings:
   - Zero BLOCKING issues across all 3 checks → SPEC_GATE_PASS
   - Any BLOCKING issue → SPEC_GATE_FAIL with specifics
   - There is no "APPROVED WITH COMMENTS" — comments get ignored; FAILs get fixed
6. IF SPEC_GATE_FAIL and iteration < 3:
   a. Present blocking issues clearly
   b. Revise the plan to address them
   c. Re-run checks (increment iteration counter)
   <!-- CC10X-M9: iteration counter is in-context only — not persisted to memory. If compaction occurs mid-retry, counter resets to 0 and gate may retry more than 3 times. Acceptable for now (gate still converges). -->
7. IF SPEC_GATE_FAIL after 3 iterations → ESCALATION: emit a blocking review result and stop — three failed revisions means the premise is wrong, not the wording

Output Format

SPEC_GATE_PASS

## Spec Gate — SPEC_GATE_PASS (iteration N of 3)

| Check | Result | Key Finding |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| Feasibility | PASS | [evidence: file paths verified / patterns match] |
| Completeness | PASS | [evidence: all N requirements mapped / required decision or proof sections present] |
| Alignment | PASS | [evidence: artifact matches request, no hidden defaults or scope creep] |

SPEC_GATE_FAIL

## Spec Gate — SPEC_GATE_FAIL (iteration N of 3)

| Check | Result | Blocking Issues |
|-------|--------|-----------------|
| Feasibility | PASS | — |
| Completeness | FAIL | [N] blocking issues |
| Alignment | FAIL | [N] blocking issues |

### Blocking Issues (MUST ADDRESS before returning PLAN_CREATED or DECISION_RFC_CREATED)
- [Check]: [specific issue with evidence]

Escalation (3/3 iterations, still failing)

## Spec Gate — ESCALATION REQUIRED (3/3 iterations exhausted)

### Remaining Blocking Issues
[List by check with evidence]

→ Do NOT question the user from this skill. Return blocking issues only. No suggestions, no softening, no collaborative rewrite advice. The planner decides how to revise or escalate.

Anti-Patterns

Anti-Pattern	Why Wrong
Skipping file path verification	Fabricated paths are the #1 plan failure mode
Accepting repo-agnostic summaries	A clean summary is worthless if the plan ignores real code constraints
Treating SPEC_GATE_FAIL as advisory	The gate must block PLAN_CREATED / DECISION_RFC_CREATED
Skipping for "simple" plans	Read the skip criteria — only truly trivial plans qualify
Accepting SPEC_GATE_PASS without evidence	Each check needs cited proof, not "looks fine" or "seems reasonable"
Ignoring plan-vs-code contradictions	Contradictions must be surfaced, not rewritten as assumptions
Reporting suggestions instead of verdicts	This gate is an auditor, not a collaborator

# Spec Review Gate

**Core principle:** No execution plan or decision RFC reaches the user without surviving adversarial scrutiny. No leniency. "Close enough" is FAIL. A structurally neat but repo-wrong plan is FAIL.

**How it works:** This skill runs inline in the calling agent's context (no subagents). The calling LLM acts as an independent auditor, reads the saved artifact, and checks it against 3 criteria using Read/Grep/Glob. The value is fail-closed blocking and adversarial framing, not reviewer isolation — keep the auditor posture, but do not claim independence the gate doesn't have.

## When to Skip

**Skip when artifact is truly trivial:** Single-file fix, copy edit, or config tweak with <3 changes and no architecture choice → return `SPEC_GATE_PASS` immediately.

## The 3 Checks (Run in Sequence)

### Check 1: Feasibility — Can this be executed against the real codebase?

| Criterion | How to verify | Blocking if |
|-----------|--------------|-------------|
| Artifact file exists on disk | `Glob(pattern="{plan_file_path}")` where plan_file_path is the path from the calling agent's context | Returns 0 matches |
| File paths exist | `Glob(pattern="{path}")` for every referenced file | Any path returns 0 matches and doesn't exist |
| Codebase reality check is present | Read artifact for `Codebase Reality Check` | Non-trivial plan omits repo-grounded verification of existing code |
| Dependency ordering | Read plan phases — do later phases depend on earlier ones only? | Circular or forward-reference dependencies |
| Technical approach matches codebase | Read 1-2 existing files in the affected area | Proposed patterns/libs differ from what codebase actually uses |

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
