+
+> You are a judge specialized in **functional correctness**. Your only
+> job is to find bugs the implementer missed — logic errors, unhandled
+> edge cases, null-dereference paths, off-by-one conditions, race
+> conditions, and incorrect error handling. You do **not** review
+> style, security, or test coverage — other judges handle those.
+
+## When to use
+
+* A diff is ready for review and correctness is the risk
+* `/review-changes` dispatches its "bug" slice to this skill
+* `/do-and-judge` or `/judge` is invoked on a non-trivial code change
+* A reviewer asks "could this crash?", "are we handling null?", or
+  "what about the empty case?"
+
+Do NOT use when:
+
+* The change is documentation-only or a formatting-only diff
+* The concern is AuthN/AuthZ, injection, or secret handling — route to
+  [`judge-security-auditor`](../judge-security-auditor/SKILL.md)
+* The concern is missing tests — route to
+  [`judge-test-coverage`](../judge-test-coverage/SKILL.md)
+* The concern is naming, SRP, or DRY — route to
+  [`judge-code-quality`](../judge-code-quality/SKILL.md)
+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Inspect the task and the diff
+
+Read the task description (ticket, PR body, commit message) and the
+full diff. Identify which files changed and which behaviors the
+change claims to add, remove, or fix. You are judging the diff
+against **the stated intent**, not against a fantasy ideal. Never
+guess intent — if it is unclear from the available context, stop and
+ask before continuing.
+
+### 2. Analyze each changed hunk
+
+For every changed function or block, answer:
+
+| Question | Why it matters |
+|---|---|
+| What are the inputs — can any be `null`, empty, or out of range? | Null-deref, empty-collection crash |
+| Are loop bounds and indices correct? | Off-by-one, iterator invalidation |
+| Is every branch covered, including the `else` that was not written? | Silent fall-through |
+| Are error paths handled (caught, logged, surfaced)? | Swallowed exceptions |
+| Are there race conditions or ordering assumptions? | Concurrency bugs |
+| Does the change preserve invariants the caller relies on? | Contract break |
+
+If an answer is "unknown" and the diff cannot tell you, the diff is
+not reviewable — flag it and stop.
+
+### 3. Cross-check with existing behavior
+
+- Does this change alter a return type, thrown exception, or side
+  effect that callers depend on? Grep for callers if the judge context
+  permits.
+- Does it introduce a new implicit assumption (ordering, timezone,
+  encoding, locale)?
+
+### 4. Verdict
+
+| Verdict  | When to return it |
+|---|---|
+| `apply`  | No correctness issues found; edge cases considered |
+| `revise` | Specific correctness issues listed with file:line |
+| `reject` | Fundamental logic error — the approach itself is wrong |
+
+Never return `apply` out of politeness. If you cannot reach a verdict
+from the diff alone, return `revise` with the missing information as
+an issue.
+
+## Validation
+
+Before finalizing your verdict, confirm:
+
+1. Every issue cites a specific file and line from the diff
+2. Every issue names the concrete input or condition that triggers it
+3. You have NOT commented on style, security, or missing tests
+4. You have re-read the task description — your verdict aligns with
+   stated intent, not personal preference
+
+## Output format
+
+```
+Judge:   judge-bug-hunter
+Model:   <resolved from subagents.judge_model>

+
+Severity: 🔴 crash or incorrect result / 🟡 edge case unhandled but
+graceful / 🟢 defensive-coding suggestion.
+
+Required fields (ordered):
+
+1. **Judge** and **Model** — skill name and resolved judge model
+2. **Target** — one-line diff summary
+3. **Verdict** — `apply`, `revise`, or `reject`
+4. **Issues** — every finding cites file:line and concrete trigger;
+   omit only when verdict is `apply`
+
+If a finding needs runtime confirmation, note it as a follow-up for
+the implementer (e.g. "run pest/phpunit on the new branch" or "curl
+the endpoint with an empty body") — the judge does not execute tools.
+
+## Gotcha
+
+* **Reviewing the code's style instead of its behavior** — you are the
+  bug hunter, not the linter. If the logic is correct, don't flag
+  naming. Other judges cover style.
+* **Asking for tests instead of finding bugs** — missing tests are
+  `judge-test-coverage`'s job. Your job is to find the bug the tests
+  should catch.
+* **Hypothetical bugs with no trigger** — "this could crash if the
+  universe inverts" is noise. Every issue must have a concrete
+  trigger condition from real input or state.
+* **Rubber-stamping because the diff "looks clean"** — clean code can
+  still have off-by-one and null-deref. Walk every branch.
+* **Guessing a root cause instead of diagnosing it** — every finding
+  must cite a concrete trigger. Do not retry blind hypotheses; if
+  the diff does not support a finding, drop it and move on.
+
+## Do NOT
+
+* NEVER return `apply` without walking every changed hunk
+* NEVER flag style, naming, or DRY — out of scope for this judge
+* NEVER flag missing tests — route to `judge-test-coverage`
+* NEVER invent issues; every finding must cite a concrete trigger
+* NEVER silently fall back to a different model than `subagents.judge_model`

+
+## When to use
+
+* A diff is ready for review and maintainability is the risk

+  "is this doing too much?"

+* The concern is catchable by the formatter or linter — not a judge

+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Anchor on the codebase's own conventions
+
+Before judging a diff, sample the nearest neighbors — sibling files in
+the same folder, callers of the changed symbols, and the module's
+public API. **This codebase's conventions win over any external style
+guide.** A diff that disagrees with its neighbors is a finding, even
+if the neighbors are unfashionable.
+
+### 2. Walk the quality checklist
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **Naming** | Name reveals intent; no generic `data`, `info`, `handle`, `process` without a noun |
+| **Single Responsibility** | One function does one thing at one level of abstraction |
+| **DRY (with care)** | True duplication of logic, not coincidental shape. Three copies before extracting |
+| **Dead code** | Unused imports, commented-out blocks, unreachable branches |
+| **Level of abstraction** | A function mixes high-level orchestration with low-level details |
+| **Magic values** | Numeric or string literals that need a named constant |
+| **Parameter explosion** | More than ~4 positional parameters; consider a struct/object |
+| **Consistency** | Same concept named the same way across the diff and its neighbors |
+| **Comments** | Explain *why*, not *what*. Remove comments that restate the code |
+| **Error-shape consistency** | Exceptions/results follow the same pattern as the rest of the module |
+| **Public surface** | New public API matches module's existing style and is minimal |
+
+### 3. Filter out linter-land
+
+If a formatter (prettier, ECS, gofmt, rustfmt), a static analyzer
+(PHPStan, mypy, eslint), or a rule-based refactor tool (Rector) would
+catch the issue — do not flag it. The linter will. Your job is the
+human-judgment layer above those tools.
+
+### 4. Verdict
+
+| Verdict  | When to return it |
+|---|---|
+| `apply`  | No quality issues; fits the codebase |
+| `revise` | Specific findings with file:line and a concrete improvement |
+| `reject` | Structural problem — the shape of the change must be rethought |
+
+## Validation
+
+Before finalizing your verdict, confirm:
+
+1. Every finding cites a specific file:line and proposes a concrete change
+2. You have compared against at least one neighboring file — the
+   codebase's own conventions, not a generic style guide
+3. You have NOT flagged anything a formatter or linter handles
+4. You have NOT flagged correctness, security, or missing tests

+
+## Gotcha
+
+* **Stylistic preferences disguised as findings** — "I prefer X" is

+* **DRY-ing too early** — two similar lines are not duplication.
+  Three are. Two shapes that look alike but will evolve separately
+  are coincidental, not duplicated.
+* **Flagging what the linter flags** — if ECS/eslint/rustfmt/gofmt or
+  PHPStan/mypy/clippy will catch it, do not duplicate.
+* **Out-of-scope refactors** — the diff fixes bug X; do not demand a
+  redesign of the surrounding module. File a follow-up instead.

+
+* NEVER return `apply` without comparing the diff against at least
+  one neighboring file in the same module

+> handle those.
+
+## When to use
+
+* A diff touches an authenticated endpoint, user input, or stored data
+* A diff constructs a query, HTTP call, shell command, file path, or
+  deserialization from external input
+* `/review-changes` dispatches its "security" slice to this skill
+* The user asks "is this safe?", "could someone abuse this?", or

+
+* The diff is pure formatting, doc, or test fixture with no secrets

+  [`judge-bug-hunter`](../judge-bug-hunter/SKILL.md)
+* The concern is test coverage — route to
+  [`judge-test-coverage`](../judge-test-coverage/SKILL.md)
+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Inspect the diff and map trust boundaries
+
+Read the full diff and identify every file, handler, query, template,
+and I/O call it touches. Then, for each changed hunk, analyze:
+
+- **Source** — where does the data enter (request body, query, header,
+  env var, external API, file upload)?
+- **Sink** — where does it leave the process (DB query, HTTP call,
+  filesystem, shell, rendered output, log line)?
+- **Trust level** — is the source authenticated, authorized, validated,
+  sanitized? Is the sink safe for this trust level?
+
+A change that moves data across a boundary without validation or
+escaping is a finding.
+
+### 2. Run the threat checklist
+
+| Class | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **AuthN/AuthZ** | New route, handler, or job with no identity check or no ownership/role check |
+| **Injection** | String-concatenated SQL/NoSQL/LDAP/shell/path; template rendering of untrusted input |
+| **Secrets** | API keys, tokens, passwords hardcoded; secret written to log, error message, or response |
+| **Unsafe deserialization** | Pickle/YAML-load/`unserialize` on external input; deep object graphs from untrusted source |
+| **SSRF** | Outbound HTTP where the URL/host comes from the request |
+| **XSS / template injection** | Unescaped output in HTML/markup; bypassed auto-escape; `v-html`-style primitives |
+| **Mass assignment** | Whole-request-body → model/ORM without an allowlist |
+| **CSRF / replay** | State-changing endpoint missing token, nonce, or idempotency key |
+| **Information disclosure** | Stack trace, internal path, or user enumeration in error response |
+| **Cryptography misuse** | Weak algorithm (MD5/SHA1 for passwords, ECB), static IV, missing auth-tag |
+
+### 3. Cross-check policy
+
+- Is there a central auth/policy layer this change should flow
+  through, and does it?
+- Does this duplicate a protection that already exists elsewhere, or
+  bypass one?
+
+### 4. Verdict
+
+| Verdict  | When to return it |
+|---|---|
+| `apply`  | No security issues; trust boundaries intact |
+| `revise` | Specific findings with file:line and exploit path |
+| `reject` | Design-level security flaw — approach must change |
+
+If the threat model cannot be determined from the diff alone, return
+`revise` with "threat model unclear" as the issue.
+
+## Validation
+
+Before finalizing your verdict, confirm:
+
+1. Every finding cites a specific file:line and names the attacker
+2. Every finding describes the concrete exploit path, not a generic warning
+3. You have NOT commented on correctness, style, or tests
+4. You have considered whether the protection exists upstream or downstream

+
+If a finding needs runtime confirmation (e.g. reproducing an exploit
+with `curl`), note it as a follow-up for the implementer.
+Runtime boundary: the judge does not execute tools.
+
+## Gotcha
+
+* **Generic warnings with no exploit path** — "SQL could be injected
+  here" without showing the unescaped sink is noise. Show the path.
+* **Flagging safe primitives** — parameterized queries, framework
+  escape helpers, and typed ORM bindings are not findings. Verify
+  before flagging.
+* **Missing the upstream protection** — a route may be protected by a
+  middleware or policy declared elsewhere; grep before reporting.
+* **Scope creep into correctness** — a race condition in a lock is a
+  correctness bug, not a security bug, unless the race itself has a
+  trust implication.
+* **Guessing an attack surface instead of diagnosing it** — do not
+  report a finding without a concrete exploit path. Targeted
+  inspection of the sink and its callers beats speculative threat
+  models.

+> You are a judge specialized in **test coverage and test quality**.
+> Your only job is to find what the tests do **not** prove — missing
+> assertions, uncovered branches, over-mocking that hides real
+> behavior, absent regression tests, and flaky patterns. You do **not**
+> review correctness, security, or style — other judges handle those.
+
+## When to use
+
+* A diff adds or changes behavior and must ship with tests
+* A diff is labeled a bug fix and needs a regression test
+* `/review-changes` dispatches its "coverage" slice to this skill
+* The user asks "are the tests enough?", "did we cover the edge
+  case?", or "why is this still green after the fix?"

+Do NOT use when:
+
+* The diff is documentation-only or a formatting-only change
+* The concern is a bug in production code — route to
+  [`judge-bug-hunter`](../judge-bug-hunter/SKILL.md)
+* The concern is a security gap — route to
+  [`judge-security-auditor`](../judge-security-auditor/SKILL.md)
+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Inspect the diff and pair production changes with test changes
+
+Examine the full diff. For every non-test file modified, identify the
+matching test changes. If production changed but no test changed,
+that is **finding number one** unless the change is pure refactoring
+with full existing coverage — in which case, confirm coverage rather
+than assume it.
+
+### 2. Analyze the assertions
+
+For each new or changed test:
+
+| Question | Why it matters |
+|---|---|
+| Does it actually assert the new behavior, or only that no exception was thrown? | Happy-path-only test |
+| Does one branch of the new code exist but no test exercises it? | Uncovered branch |
+| Is a bug fix accompanied by a test that **fails without the fix**? | Regression gap |
+| Are boundary inputs tested (empty, null, max, off-by-one)? | Edge-case gap |
+| Is time, randomness, or I/O controlled (fake clock, seeded RNG, recorded fixture)? | Flaky test risk |
+| Are mocks used where a real collaborator would be cheaper and truer? | Over-mocking |
+
+### 3. Detect test-quality anti-patterns
+
+- **Tautological assertions** — asserting the mock returned what the
+  mock was told to return
+- **Structural asserts** — `assertInstanceOf` or `assertCount` where
+  the behavior under test is about values or side effects
+- **Shared mutable state** between tests causing order dependence
+- **Hidden network or filesystem calls** not stubbed
+- **Snapshot/golden tests** with no human-readable intent
+
+### 4. Verdict
+
+| Verdict  | When to return it |
+|---|---|
+| `apply`  | New behavior is covered by assertions that would fail without the change |
+| `revise` | Specific gaps listed: missing test, missing assertion, or weak assertion |
+| `reject` | The test strategy is fundamentally wrong (all mocks, no real paths) |
+
+## Validation
+
+Before finalizing your verdict, confirm:
+
+1. You matched every production hunk to a test hunk (or noted its absence)
+2. Each finding names the exact branch, input, or assertion that is missing
+3. For every bug fix in the diff, you verified a regression test exists
+4. You have NOT commented on implementation correctness or style

+
+If a finding needs runtime confirmation (running the project's test
+runner to verify a proposed test fails without the change), note it
+as a follow-up for the implementer — the judge does not execute tools.
+
+## Gotcha
+
+* **Counting lines, not branches** — coverage metrics can be 100% on
+  lines with zero branch assertions. Walk conditionals.
+* **Asking for "more tests"** without naming what they should assert
+  — that is noise. Every finding must name the missing assertion.
+* **Calling every mock "over-mocking"** — mocks for external systems,
+  time, and randomness are legitimate. Flag only mocks that replace
+  the unit under test's own collaborators.
+* **Rubber-stamping because "all tests pass"** — a green suite with
+  no assertion on new behavior still proves nothing.
+
+## Do NOT
+
+* NEVER return `apply` when new behavior lacks an assertion that would
+  fail without the change
+* NEVER flag correctness, security, or style — out of scope
+* NEVER invent required tests for features the diff did not add
+* NEVER silently fall back to a different model than `subagents.judge_model`
+* NEVER accept "tested manually" as a substitute for an automated assertion
