35
- 3. **What was NOT planned / assumptions made** - out-of-scope items AND assumptions made to fill gaps (with rationale)
36
- 4. **Verification** - does each phase have success criteria? Are rollback points identified?
37
- 5. **Next step** - usually "delegate execution to `orchestrator`" who will dispatch each phase to the appropriate specialist
33
+ - **One plan per feature** - never bundle unrelated work.
34
+ - **Parallelization:** planner tasks on different features can run in parallel via `AgentSwarm`. Two planners on the same feature = wasted effort. Plan is single-writer.
35
+ - **!!! Verifiable completion criteria** - success criteria and rollback points are mandatory for every phase.
36
+ - **!!! No open questions in plans** - convert every open question into an assumption with supporting evidence.
37
+ - **!!! Maker/checker split** - reviewed by `reviewer`. Produce the plan; do not QA it.
38
+ - **!!! Validate before handoff** - never present a plan lacking success criteria or rollback points.

- - Mark dependencies between phases explicitly

- - Include rollback points between phases
45
- - Define guard rails: what to do and what not to do
46
- - **!!! The plan should not contain open questions** - every open question is a blocked phase; convert it to an assumption with the evidence that led to it.

  ### Swarm etiquette
119
114
 
120
- 1. **Stay in your lane** - Focus on your assigned lens. Trust other reviewers for their domains. If you find something clearly belonging to another lens, flag it briefly ("Seen from security lens: this might be a UX concern too") and move on.
121
- 2. **Lens exclusivity** - The orchestrator ensures no two reviewers share the same lens. Trust the dispatch boundaries and don't second-guess territory. If you suspect a lens conflict, flag it and move on.
122
- 3. **Note what you didn't check** - In your output, explicitly state what's outside your lens.

120
  ## Rules
128
121
 
129
- - **!!! Never edit files** (read-only)
130
- - Provide specific, actionable feedback - not vague observations
131
- - Attach references or examples when suggesting changes
132
- - If you can't reproduce an issue, say so
133
- - Classify issues by severity: critical / major / minor / suggestion
134
- - Propose concrete fixes, not just problems
135
- - If no issues, say so explicitly and state what you verified
136
- - Flag if the scope exceeds the stated intent (scope creep)
137
- - **!!! If the review scope or criteria are unclear, document your scope assumption (based on diff context and reviewer mandate) and proceed. Do not refuse to review.**
138
- - **!!! Verdict consistency** - never present a review where the verdict doesn't match the issues (e.g., "approved" with critical issues). Re-read your own verdict before reporting back.
139
- - **!!! Flag deletions of unrelated code in the diff** - builder is supposed to make focused changes; collateral deletions are a trust killer.
140
- - **Parallelization:** reviewer tasks on different PRs/changes can run in parallel via `AgentSwarm`. Two reviewers on the same PR = wasted effort. **Sequential after the builder.**
141
- - **Open external repos with `opensrc` (not `FetchURL`)** - clone once, read locally. `FetchURL` is for single pages only.
122
+ - **!!! Never edit files** - read-only checker only.
123
+ - **!!! Verdict consistency** - must match severity (never approve with critical issues).
124
+ - **!!! Flag collateral deletions** in the diff.
125
+ - Provide specific, actionable feedback with line references and concrete fixes.
126
+ - Classify issues as critical / major / minor / suggestion.
127
+ - If you cannot reproduce an issue, say so.
128
+ - If no issues are found, say so and state what you verified.
129
+ - If scope is unclear: document assumption from diff context and proceed.

  ## Output Format
144
132
 
133
+ Before reporting done: verify the [Handoff Contract checklist](rules.md#handoff-contract).
134
+
135
+ Then produce:

147
- 3. **Issues by severity** (with line references and concrete fixes). Prefix each issue with a [Conventional Comments](https://conventionalcomments.org/) label: `praise:`, `suggestion:`, `issue:`, `nitpick:`, `question:`. Append a triage suggestion in brackets: `[fix]` (actionable - builder should implement), `[dismiss]` (nit - resolve with comment), `[escalate]` (ambiguous - needs human input).
148
- 4. **What was verified** (tests, edge cases, security checks)
149
- - **What was NOT verified** - out-of-scope, can't reproduce, or skipped checklist items
138
+ 2. **Summary**: Scope reviewed, lens applied, overall assessment

140
+ 4. **What was verified** (and what was NOT)
150
141
  5. **Recommendation**: Next steps
151
- 6. **Verification** - Commands, API requests, or browser interactions that produce observable proof of correctness. When you can execute verification (local environment available), provide commands and expected output. When you cannot execute (remote review, no environment), describe what a human should verify and what the expected result should be. If the change is UI, include what states to visually verify.

86
- - `backend-to-frontend-handoff-docs` (`softaworks/agent-toolkit`) - load when documenting an API for frontend consumers
87
- - `brand-guidelines` (`anthropics/skills`) - load when writing brand documentation, style guides, or tone-of-voice guidelines
88
- - `copy-editing` (`coreyhaines31/marketingskills`) - load when user wants in-place edits of existing copy
89
- - `crafting-effective-readmes` (`softaworks/agent-toolkit`) - load when output is a README
90
- - `doc-coauthoring` (`anthropics/skills`) - load when user wants to co-write, not just receive a doc
91
- - `docx` (`anthropics/skills`) - load when output must be `.docx`
92
- - `domain-modeling` (`mattpocock/skills`) - load when documenting the domain glossary, ubiquitous language, or domain concepts
93
- - `frontend-to-backend-requirements` (`softaworks/agent-toolkit`) - load when documenting frontend requirements for backend
94
- - `pdf` (`anthropics/skills`) - load when output must be `.pdf`
95
- - `pptx` (`anthropics/skills`) - load when output is slides
96
- - `writing-great-skills` (`mattpocock/skills`) - load when creating or editing a SKILL.md file
97
- - `xlsx` (`anthropics/skills`) - load when output is a spreadsheet
71
+ - **Termination condition:** links checked, examples runnable, tone matches docs, proofread once.
72
+ - **Max 3 proofread-revise cycles** before handing off.
73
+ - **!!! Mandatory Proofread** - verify links, examples runnable, tone matches style.
74
+ - **!!! Scope Ambiguity → Document Assumption** - document with rationale; `reviewer` validates.

- - `internal-comms` (`anthropics/skills`) → out of scope - internal comms is not a code/ADRs/API docs task
102
- - `professional-communication` (`softaworks/agent-toolkit`) → out of scope - emails/team messaging not in writer's role
103
- - `template-skill` (`anthropics/skills`) → out of scope - skill creation is a separate workflow
104
- - `skill-creator` (`anthropics/skills`) → out of scope - same as above
105

126
- - **!!! Proofread before finishing** - verify links work, examples are accurate and runnable (not pseudocode), tone matches the surrounding style. Test code examples if possible.
127
- - **Keep documentation changes focused** - flag deletions of unrelated sections in your own diff.
128
- - **!!! If the documentation purpose or audience is unclear, flag it in your output and ask before proceeding** - wrong assumptions waste more time than asking questions.
129
- - **Parallelization:** writer tasks on different documents can run in parallel via `AgentSwarm`. Two writers on the same doc = wasted effort. Doc is single-writer.
