 After all agents respond and before synthesizing the final findings, triage every candidate point through this question: `Does this feedback identify a real, evidenced, material issue, or would addressing it add unnecessary complexity, flag a nonexistent or unsupported bug, or provide little value?` Judge the feedback itself, not only whether another agent made the same point. Do not omit any candidate point. Assign `P0`, `P1`, `P2`, or `P3` when it is actionable; assign `SKIP` only as a priority label when it is false, unsupported, duplicate, contradicted, out of scope, or not worth acting on. `SKIP` never means remove the item: every candidate must remain in `Findings` with its priority and the reason for that judgment. Do not leave skipped candidates only in `Reviewer Results`.

+---
+
+Read the requested issues, sub-issues, dependencies, relevant comments, and existing PRs with `gh`. Resolve each task's repository, scope, completion criteria, and actual prerequisites. Parent membership is not a dependency. Reuse existing work rather than starting duplicate branches or PRs.
+
+Run independent, ready issues in parallel, with one implementation agent per issue in an isolated worktree. Give each agent the issue, agreed direction, prerequisites, exact base commit, and completion criteria. The main agent owns scheduling, branch topology, and publication; workers return their change, review results, and checks.
+
+In Orca, use `orca-cli` to create and supervise worktrees with `worktree create --agent <current-agent-id> --prompt <task-brief> --json`, using the current agent's Orca launcher unless the user specifies another agent. Use `--no-parent` for independent work, and `--parent-worktree <predecessor>` with `--base-branch <reviewed-ref>` for successors; lineage alone does not select the Git base. Verify each checkout's base and use the returned agent handle to track results. Keep coordinator ownership through completion rather than making a full handoff.
+
+Any missing decision, dependency cycle, or overlapping ownership that makes parallel work unsafe? Resolve it before starting the affected tasks; continue unrelated work. Use `ghosts:grill-me` for material decisions and `ghosts:work-breakdown` when an issue still needs decomposition.
+
+## Each issue
+
+```text
+Implement → relevant checks → code-review → fix findings
+          → slop-shaking → checks on the final change → commit → github-pr
+```
+
+Use `ghosts:code-review` with exactly one review subagent covering all applicable questions on the issue's diff against its immediate base, apply actionable findings, then use `ghosts:slop-shaking`. Resolve outstanding findings before publishing; repeat review where subsequent changes alter correctness or design. Keep meaningful behavioral coverage without adding tests merely to document intermediate work.
+
+A prerequisite is ready for downstream implementation once its review, cleanup, and checks pass and its final change is committed. Its PR need not be merged. Start newly ready issues as workers finish, rather than waiting for an entire batch. A PR being open does not mean the issue is complete; completion requires its intended change to land on the default branch.
+
+## Stack and publish
+
+Check the installed `gh stack --help` and relevant subcommand help before use. Start a chain with `gh stack init <branch>`. After a predecessor is ready, extend its stack with `gh stack add <next-branch>` and start the successor from that reviewed commit. For branches already created by Orca, adopt them instead of creating duplicates: `gh stack init <bottom-branch> <next-branch> ...` lists them bottom to top; verify their ancestry first.
+
+Stacks are linear. Keep independent tasks in separate stacks; a fork can start a separate stack with `--base <predecessor-branch>`. For a task requiring multiple branches, wait until all required changes are available on one reviewed base, usually after their merges; do not silently introduce dependencies between independent tasks. Across repositories, use separate stacks and check that required interfaces or artifacts are actually available to the consumer.
+
+Use `ghosts:github-pr` to create or update each reviewed issue's PR, explicitly targeting its immediate predecessor branch, or the trunk for the bottom layer. Follow the repository template and describe only that layer's final diff. Include `Closes #N`, or `Closes OWNER/REPO#N` for an issue in another repository, only for issues the change fully resolves; use ordinary links for partial work and parent issues.
+
+Once every branch in the active stack has a reviewed PR, run `gh stack submit --auto` to publish its stack relationship and verify the resulting PR bases, bodies, and issue references. This command pushes all stack branches and can create missing PRs: never include unfinished branches. Serialize stack mutations and publication within a clone, since linked worktrees share stack metadata; keep affected workers idle during history rewrites.
+
+When an earlier layer changes or merges, inspect the stack and use `gh stack sync` to rebase, push, and synchronize existing PRs. If conflicts stop sync, resolve them with `gh stack rebase`, then retry sync. Recheck affected diffs and repeat necessary review, cleanup, and checks after synchronization; commit any resulting fixes and update the PRs through `ghosts:github-pr`, then sync again. Recheck any changes introduced by that sync before treating a layer as ready for successors or reporting it ready for review. Closing keywords take effect when a PR targets the default branch; verify issue links after retargeting. Leave review and merging to the user.
+
+## Output
+
+Report in the user's language, grouped by repository and stack. Show dependencies in a compact code block and list each issue with its PR, review/cleanup/check result, and any blocker or next ready task. Distinguish published work from merged work; do not report unresolved work as complete.

-Prioritize findings:
+- Assert observable outcomes and contractual side effects, with expected results derived from requirements rather than production logic. Verify relevant permissions and failures, including absence of unauthorized effects. Counts, ordering, exact payloads, and snapshots need a meaningful contract; snapshots must be focused, stable, and readable.
+- Prefer integration through public entrypoints when it gives a clear signal; use focused tests for small rules. Replace external or unstable dependencies at the boundary without mocking away the behavior under test. Do not expose private members or add production abstractions solely for testing convenience.
+- Keep scenario data minimal and visible, reuse established setup, and isolate mutable state and overrides. Control time, randomness, identifiers, and ordering when they affect results. Transaction setup must preserve the visibility the behavior requires.
+- Make descriptions standalone and behavior-based, with Given / When / Then sections and concise explanations of non-obvious synchronization. Combine related cases when clearer, without bundling unrelated scenarios. Do not flag harmless style differences.
+- For UI, query through accessible or user-visible context and wait for the intended rendered state. For servers, verify responses, persisted changes, and outgoing effects at the appropriate boundary. Reuse existing tools; do not expand a simple test into every testing layer.

Present only the plan path and chosen direction instead of repeating the plan in the response. Wait for explicit approval such as `go` or `approve`; a bare request is not approval unless it already specifies the plan. Resolve open requirements and material scope/design choices before presenting the plan: ask the user one question at a time, with options and a recommendation, instead of guessing or listing them in the plan.
-
-After implementation and checks, answer each review question in order. For a Yes, make the smallest useful repair, rerun relevant checks, append the required recheck row and repair-log entry, then resume from the earliest affected state. A material scope or design change requires a revised plan and approval. Stop when every answer is No, checks pass, and the diff stays within the approved scope.
