+metadata:
+  version: "0.0.4"
+---
+
+# Final Agent Review
+
+> **Execution Context**: This skill runs **directly** in the PAW session (not a subagent), preserving user interactivity for apply/skip/discuss decisions.
+
+Automated review step that runs after all implementation phases complete, before Final PR creation. Examines the full implementation diff against specification to catch issues before external review.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+- Review implementation against spec for correctness, patterns, and issues
+- Multi-model parallel review with synthesis (CLI only)
+- Single-model review (CLI and VS Code)
+- Interactive or auto-apply resolution modes
+- Generate review artifacts in `.paw/work/<work-id>/reviews/`
+
+## Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Read Configuration
+
+Read WorkflowContext.md for:
+- Work ID and target branch
+- `Final Review Mode`: `single-model` | `multi-model`
+- `Final Review Interactive`: `true` | `false`
+- `Final Review Models`: comma-separated model names (for multi-model)
+
+
+If mode is `multi-model`, parse the models list. Default: `latest GPT, latest Gemini, latest Claude Opus`.
+
+
+
+### Step 2: Gather Review Context
+
+**Required context**:
+- Full diff of implementation changes (target branch vs base branch)
+- Spec.md requirements and success criteria
+- ImplementationPlan.md phases and scope
+- CodeResearch.md patterns and conventions
+
+**Generate diff**:
+```bash
+git diff <base-branch>...<target-branch>
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create Reviews Directory
+
+Create `.paw/work/<work-id>/reviews/` if it doesn't exist.
+Create `.paw/work/<work-id>/reviews/.gitignore` with content `*` (if not already present).
+
+### Review Prompt (shared)
+
+Use this prompt for all review executions (single-model or each multi-model subagent):
+
+```
+Review this implementation against the specification. Be critical and thorough.
+
+## Specification
+[Include Spec.md content]
+
+## Implementation Diff
+[Include full diff]
+
+## Codebase Patterns
+[Include relevant patterns from CodeResearch.md]
+
+## Review Criteria
+1. **Correctness**: Do changes implement all spec requirements? Any gaps?
+2. **Pattern Consistency**: Does implementation follow established codebase patterns?
+3. **Bugs and Issues**: Logic errors, edge cases, race conditions, error handling gaps
+4. **Token Efficiency**: For prompts/skills, opportunities to reduce verbosity
+5. **Documentation**: Missing or outdated documentation
+
+For each finding, provide:
+- Issue description
+- Current code/text
+- Proposed fix
+- Severity: must-fix | should-fix | consider
+
+Write findings in structured markdown.
+```
+
+
+### Step 4: Execute Review (CLI)
+
+**If single-model mode**:
+- Execute review using the prompt above
+- Save to `REVIEW.md`
+
+**If multi-model mode**:
+
+First, resolve model intents to actual model names (e.g., "latest GPT" → current GPT model).
+
+**If Interactive = true**: Present the resolved models for confirmation:
+```
+About to run multi-model review with:
+- [resolved model 1]
+- [resolved model 2]
+- [resolved model 3]
+
+Proceed with these models, or specify different ones?
+```
+Allow user to confirm or provide alternative model list.
+
+Then spawn parallel subagents using `task` tool with `model` parameter for each model. Each subagent receives the review prompt above. Save per-model reviews to `REVIEW-{MODEL}.md`.
+
+**After multi-model reviews complete**, generate synthesis.
+
+**Important**: If any findings involve interface changes, API modifications, or data flow updates, populate the Verification Checklist with specific components that need coordinated updates. This prevents half-fixes where only one side of an interface is updated.
+
+**REVIEW-SYNTHESIS.md structure**:
+```markdown
+# Review Synthesis
+
+**Date**: [date]
+**Reviewers**: [model list]
+**Changes**: [branch/diff reference]
+
+## Consensus Issues (All Models Agree)
+[Highest priority - all models flagged these]
+
+## Partial Agreement (2+ Models)
+[High priority - multiple models flagged]
+
+## Single-Model Insights
+[Unique findings worth considering]
+
+## Verification Checklist
+[Populate with specific touchpoints for interface/data-flow changes]
+- [ ] [Component A] updated
+- [ ] [Component B] updated  
+- [ ] Data flows end-to-end from [source] → [target]
+
+## Priority Actions
+### Must Fix
+[Critical issues]
+
+### Should Fix
+[High-value improvements]
+
+### Consider
+[Nice-to-haves]
+```
+
+
+
+
+### Step 5: Resolution
+
+**If no findings**: Report clean review and proceed.
+
+**If Interactive = true**:
+
+Present each finding to user:
+```
+## Finding #N: [Title]
+
+**Severity**: [must-fix | should-fix | consider]
+**Issue**: [Description]
+
+**Current**:
+[Show current code/text]
+
+**Proposed**:
+[Show proposed change]
+
+**My Opinion**: [Rationale]
+
+---
+
+**Your call**: apply, skip, or discuss?
+```
+
+Track status for each finding:
+- `applied` - Change made to codebase
+- `skipped` - User chose not to apply
+- `discussed` - Modified based on discussion, then applied or skipped
+
+
+For multi-model mode, process synthesis first (consensus → partial → single-model). Track cross-finding duplicates to avoid re-presenting already-addressed issues.
+
+
+**If Interactive = false**:
+
+Auto-apply all findings marked `must-fix` and `should-fix`. Skip `consider` items. Report what was applied.
+
+### Step 6: Completion
+
+**Report back**:
+- Total findings count
+- Applied / skipped / discussed counts
+- Summary of key changes made
+- Review artifacts location
+- Status: `complete` (ready for paw-pr)
+
+**Edge cases**:
+- Empty diff → Report "no implementation changes to review", proceed to paw-pr
+- All findings skipped → Proceed to paw-pr (user's choice respected)
+
+## Review Artifacts

+| multi-model | `REVIEW-{MODEL}.md` per model, `REVIEW-SYNTHESIS.md` |

+## Rewind Targets
+
+| Target | Description | Resets to |
+|--------|-------------|-----------|
+| `start` | Reset to initialization | After WorkflowContext.md created |
+| `spec` | Reset to post-specification | After Spec.md created (full mode only) |
+| `planning` | Reset to post-research | After CodeResearch.md created |
+| `phase N` | Reset to post-phase N | After Phase N completed |
+
+**Target aliases**: "go back to spec", "rewind to planning", "reset to phase 2", "roll back to start"
+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Parse Rewind Target
+
+Map user request to target:
+- "spec", "specification" → `spec`
+- "planning", "plan", "research" → `planning`
+- "phase 1", "phase one", "p1" → `phase 1`
+- "start", "beginning", "init" → `start`
+
+If target unclear, ask user to clarify with available options.
+
+### 2. Validate Target
+
+Check target is reachable from current state:
+- `spec` requires full mode (minimal mode has no spec stage)
+- `phase N` requires ImplementationPlan.md with at least N phases
+- Target must be before current stage (can't rewind forward)
+
+If invalid, report error with available rewind targets.
+
+### 3. Detect Current State
+
+Use `paw-status` patterns to determine:
+- WorkflowContext.md for configuration (mode, strategy)
+- Current stage from artifact existence
+- Phase progress from ImplementationPlan.md
+- Git branch and status
+
+### 4. Identify Target Commit
+
+Find the commit representing the rewind point:
+
+```bash
+# Find commit where artifact was added
+git log --oneline --diff-filter=A -- .paw/work/<work-id>/<artifact> | head -1
+```
+
+| Target | Artifact to search |
+|--------|-------------------|
+| `start` | WorkflowContext.md |
+| `spec` | Spec.md |
+| `planning` | CodeResearch.md |
+| `phase N` | Search for phase completion commit message pattern |
+
+For phase targets, search commit messages:
+```bash
+git log --oneline --grep="Phase N" --grep="phase N" | head -1
+```
+
+If target commit not found, report error with available recovery options.
+
+### 5. Safeguard Checks
+
+Before any destructive action, check and warn about:
+
+**Uncommitted changes**:
+```bash
+git status --porcelain
+```
+If non-empty, list files and require confirmation.
+
+**Unpushed commits**:
+```bash
+git rev-list @{u}..HEAD --count
+```
+If upstream not set, treat as 0 unpushed. If > 0, report count and require confirmation.
+
+**Orphaned PRs** (PRs strategy only):
+Query PRs with head branches matching `<target>_phase*` patterns that would be orphaned by rewind. List PR numbers/URLs.
+
+### 6. Action Preview
+
+Present itemized preview grouped by category:
+
+```
+Rewind to: planning (after CodeResearch.md)
+Target commit: abc1234
+
+Actions to be performed:
+
+📁 Git Reset:
+   - Reset to commit abc1234
+   - Removes: ImplementationPlan.md, all phase changes
+
+🔗 PRs to Close (PRs strategy):
+   - #42: [Feature] Phase 1 implementation
+   - #43: [Feature] Phase 2 implementation
+
+⚠️ Warnings:
+   - 3 uncommitted files will be discarded
+   - 5 unpushed commits will be removed
+
+Continue with rewind? [yes/no]
+```
+
+### 7. Execute Rewind
+
+On user confirmation:
+
+1. **Close orphaned PRs** (PRs strategy):
+   - Close each PR with comment: "Workflow rewound to {target}. This PR is no longer applicable."
+   - If close fails, prompt user to close manually with direct link
+
+2. **Git reset**:
+   ```bash
+   git reset --hard <target-commit>
+   ```
+
+3. **Report completion**:
+   - What was reverted
+   - Current state after rewind
+   - Recommended next step
+
+### 8. Cancellation
+
+If user declines confirmation:
+- Report "Rewind cancelled. No changes made."
+- Workflow continues at current state
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+**Already at target**: Report "Already at {target} stage. No rewind needed." and exit.
+
+**Minimal mode + spec target**: Report error: "Spec stage not available in minimal workflow mode. Available targets: planning, start"
+
+**No commit found**: Report error with manual recovery guidance: "Could not identify target commit. You may need to manually reset using `git log` to find the appropriate commit."
+
+**PR close fails**: Prompt user: "Could not close PR #42 automatically. Please close manually: {url}"
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Never execute destructive operations without explicit user confirmation
+- Never rewind without showing action preview first
+- Never assume commit exists—always verify
+- Never modify files outside of git reset operation
+- Be idempotent: cancelled rewind leaves state unchanged
+
+## Completion Response
+
+Report:
+- Rewind status (completed/cancelled/error)
+- If completed: target reached, commit hash, files reverted
+- Current workflow stage after rewind
+- Recommended next action
+- Any manual steps required (e.g., PRs to close manually)
