+Assess **independently and adversarially** whether one DevRites feature diff matches

+anything the spec did not request as scope creep until it is justified.

-Read `.claude/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/spec-grammar.md` before you review (on Codex, the mirror under
-`.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/`), and judge coverage against that current, full ruleset (the structured

+Before reviewing, read
+`.claude/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/spec-grammar.md`. On Codex, use
+the mirror under `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/`. Apply the
+current `### Requirement:` and `#### Scenario:` grammar and `[ACn]` mapping as
+written.
+
+If `.devrites/overrides/devrites-spec-reviewer.md` exists, read it as **project
+overrides**. It may add checks or give some checks more weight. It may **never**
+relax a gate, waive a standard, or lower a severity floor. A Critical remains a
+Critical. Treat overrides as review input, not permission.
 
 ## Inputs
 
-Workspace `.devrites/work/<slug>/`: read `spec.md` (acceptance criteria +
-requirements + placement + design references), `tasks.md`, `decisions.md`,
-`assumptions.md`, `drift.md`. Read the `git diff` for the active feature.
+In workspace `.devrites/work/<slug>/`, read `spec.md` for acceptance criteria,
+requirements, placement, and design references. Then read `tasks.md`,
+`decisions.md`, `assumptions.md`, and `drift.md`. Inspect the active feature's
+`git diff`.
 
 ## Assess
 
-- **Coverage:** for each acceptance criterion in `spec.md`, find the lines in
-  the diff that implement it. Unmapped criteria are gaps. Quote the spec line.
-- **Correct implementation:** does the diff implement the criterion *as
-  written*, or a near-miss (different boundary, different empty-state, wrong
-  default, wrong error path)? Flag near-misses as `wrong` rather than
-  `partial`.
-- **Scope creep:** find behaviour in the diff the spec did not ask for. Each
-  one is either (a) a hidden requirement that should be back-filled in
-  `spec.md`, (b) a feature drift event that belongs in `drift.md`, or (c) AI
-  slop that should be removed.
-- **Placement:** does the diff land in the modules `spec.md` Placement &
-  integration named? If not, that is a deviation that needs to be justified
-  in `decisions.md` or reverted.
-- **Design references:** if `spec.md` saved references in `references/`, does
-  the diff match them? Cite each mismatch.
+- **Coverage:** map each acceptance criterion in `spec.md` to the lines that
+  implement it. Quote the spec line and report every unmapped criterion as a gap.
+- **Correct implementation:** compare the diff with the criterion as written.
+  Different boundaries or empty states, wrong defaults, and wrong error paths are
+  `wrong`, not `partial`.
+- **Scope creep:** find behavior that the spec did not request. Classify it as a
+  hidden requirement to add to `spec.md`, a drift event for `drift.md`, or AI slop
+  to remove.
+- **Placement:** compare the changed modules with the Placement and integration
+  section in `spec.md`. Any deviation needs justification in `decisions.md` or
+  must be reverted.
+- **Design references:** when `spec.md` saves references under `references/`,
+  compare the diff with each one and cite every mismatch.
 
 ## Rules
 
-- **Zero findings is suspicious: earn the clean bill.** If you finish and have found nothing, that is a claim to justify, not a default to accept. Record a **`No-findings:`** line naming the specific adversarial passes you ran (for your axis) and why each came back empty. "Looks good" / "no issues" is not a valid result: a silent axis gets re-run, not passed. (See `code-review.md` § Zero findings is suspicious.)
+- A clean review still needs evidence. Add a **`No-findings:`** line naming the adversarial passes run for this axis and explaining why each found nothing. Rerun any axis that returns neither a finding nor this justification. (See `code-review.md` § Zero findings is suspicious.)
 - Do not edit anything. Return findings only.
 - For each finding quote the spec line (or "spec did not mention X").
 - Classify findings as `missing / partial / wrong / scope-creep`.

 ## Score the nine dimensions
-For each, **cite the evidence first** (the spec line or its absence), then assign the band:
-never score first and rationalize after:
-1. **Problem altitude & ambition:** right problem, right altitude? Is *under*-reaching the risk?
-2. **Scope honesty & boundary:** explicit Non-goals, a Minimum Usable Subset, a clear IN/OUT line?
-3. **Premise & alternatives:** load-bearing premises stated + challenged; ≥1 real alternative with trade-off?
-4. **Pre-mortem risk coverage:** top failure modes, each with likelihood + mitigation + owning slice? Unmitigated top risk is gating.
-5. **Over-engineering / YAGNI:** speculative capability / unused extension points / premature abstraction? Apply "no abstraction before two real callers".
-6. **Acceptance testability & done-ness:** every criterion measurable, technology-agnostic, comparable to a baseline (not an unbounded ideal)? Flag vague adjectives + "handles X gracefully".
-7. **Irreversibility & blast radius:** auth / migration / public-API / data-model treated with conservatism + rollback; blast radius understood?
-8. **Cross-cutting coverage:** security / data & migration / observability / modifiability each addressed or explicitly N/A (no silent omission)?
-9. **Convention fit & placement realism:** fits existing seams/patterns, or assumes greenfield freedom; new dep / second design system flagged?
+For each dimension, **cite the spec line or its absence first**, then assign the
+band. Do not choose a score and justify it afterward:
+
+1. **Problem altitude & ambition:** does the spec address the right problem at the
+   right level, or does it risk under-reaching?
+2. **Scope honesty & boundary:** does it name non-goals, a Minimum Usable Subset,
+   and a clear IN and OUT boundary?
+3. **Premise & alternatives:** does it state and challenge load-bearing premises
+   and compare at least one real alternative with its trade-off?
+4. **Pre-mortem risk coverage:** does each top failure mode have a likelihood,
+   mitigation, and owning slice? An unmitigated top risk blocks the gate.
+5. **Over-engineering / YAGNI:** does it add speculative capability, unused
+   extension points, or premature abstraction? Apply "no abstraction before two
+   real callers".
+6. **Acceptance testability & done-ness:** is every criterion measurable,
+   technology-agnostic, and comparable with a baseline rather than an unbounded
+   ideal? Flag vague adjectives and "handles X gracefully".
+7. **Irreversibility & blast radius:** are auth, migration, public API, and data
+   model changes handled conservatively with rollback and a known blast radius?
+8. **Cross-cutting coverage:** are security, data and migration, observability, and
+   modifiability addressed or explicitly marked N/A?
+9. **Convention fit & placement realism:** does the proposal fit existing seams and
+   patterns rather than assume a greenfield project? Flag a new dependency or
+   second design system.
 
 ## Bands & the floor-gate
-Band each dimension `strong` / `adequate` / `thin` / `broken` (`broken` → Critical, `thin` →
-Important). If a dimension is borderline, sample it twice and take the **lower** band: don't
-average up. The gate is the **floor**: the verdict is the weakest dimension, not a mean. Pass
-only when every dimension is `adequate`+ and no unmitigated top pre-mortem risk remains.

 # devrites-audit: read-only audit dispatch
 
-Dispatch one read-only review subagent against the active feature's workspace + diff. The subagent runs in **fresh context** (no author anchoring) and returns labeled findings. The caller (`/rite-polish` Phase 1, `/rite-review`, or the user) acts on them. This skill returns the subagent's report verbatim.
+Dispatch one fresh-context, read-only review axis for the active feature. The caller
+decides how to use the report; this skill never edits.
 
-This is the **inline single-axis pass** used during build / polish: one axis at a time, on demand, where a quick read keeps a slice honest. It is intentionally distinct from the seal/review **gate**, where the reviewer agents fan out in parallel across all relevant axes in their own fresh contexts (see `/rite-seal`). Same agents, different role: the audit is a cheap mid-flight check; the seal fan-out is the blocking gate. Both reading the same agent disciplines is the point, not a divergence.
+## Axis
 
-Why a subagent rather than inline: an adversarial reviewer with no author context is more likely to find what's wrong. Anthropic bug [#49559](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/49559) can leave `context: fork` silently inline, so `Task` dispatch is the reliable path.
-
-## Axis selection

-| Axis | Subagent (`.claude/agents/`) | Discipline |
+| Argument | Role | Discipline |

-| `security` | `devrites-security-auditor` | OWASP Top 10; three-tier trust boundary (untrusted → boundary → trusted); secrets handling; dependency risk. A real auth-bypass / data-exposure / injection is **Critical → NO-GO** at seal. |
-| `perf` | `devrites-performance-reviewer` | Measure-first: no claim without a number or a specified measurement. N+1s, hot-path work, payload/bundle size, Core Web Vitals risks. Breach of a stated `spec.md` budget is **Important/Critical**. |
-| `simplify` | `devrites-simplifier-reviewer` | Behavior-preserving simplification: guard clauses, Extract Method, simplify conditionals, the deletion-test heuristic, Chesterton's Fence; plus the AI-codegen over-engineering smells: single-use factory / needless indirection, defensive try-catch bloat + redundant logging, dependency creep where an in-repo option exists, a 100-line function where 20 would do. Findings are **Suggestion / Nit / FYI**: no behavior change. |
-
-## Gather
-
-1. Read `.devrites/ACTIVE` to resolve the active feature `<slug>`.
-2. Confirm `.devrites/work/<slug>/touched-files.md` and `spec.md` exist. If missing → **STOP** and tell the caller the feature has no recorded diff or spec yet.
-
-## Dispatch
-
-Use the `Task` tool to launch the chosen subagent with this prompt shape (axis-specific reads in `Read:`):
-
-```
-Audit the active DevRites feature on the <axis> axis.
-
-Workspace: .devrites/work/<slug>/
-Read:
-  - spec.md   (acceptance criteria; for perf: any perf budget; for security: data model + affected areas)
-  - decisions.md   (if present)
-  - evidence.md    (existing measurements, for perf)
-  - touched-files.md
-Run `git diff` and read the listed touched files. Apply your documented
-discipline and return labeled findings (Critical / Important / Suggestion /
-Nit / FYI) using your documented output format. ONE FINDING PER LINE,
-cite file:line.
-
-Feature scope only. No edits. Do not summarize or re-rank — the caller
-reconciles.
-```
-
-Rules for the dispatch:
-
-- **One subagent per call.** This skill is not a fan-out; multi-axis fan-out is `/rite-seal`'s job (see `.claude/skills/devrites-lib/reference/parallel-dispatch.md`).
-- **No author context.** Do not pass the caller's analysis or framing of the change to the subagent: fresh, adversarial read is the point.
-- **No cross-pollination.** If the caller wants more than one axis, dispatch each axis in its own `Task` call in a single message so the runtime parallelizes; each subagent gets only its own brief.
-
-## Return
-
-Pass the subagent's findings report back to the caller **verbatim**. Do not re-label, re-rank, or summarize. The caller (`/rite-polish` for `simplify`, `/rite-review` for `security`/`perf`) decides what to act on within feature scope, and surfaces any **Critical** to `/rite-seal` as a NO-GO blocker.
-
-## Fallback
-
-If the `Task` tool is unavailable in the current environment, fall back to a read-only inline audit using the discipline documented in the corresponding agent file (`.claude/agents/devrites-{security-auditor,performance-reviewer,simplifier-reviewer}.md`). **Flag clearly that this was an inline fallback**, not an independent review. The seal weighs the fallback differently: see [`rite-seal/reference/risk-and-rollback.md`](../rite-seal/reference/risk-and-rollback.md).
-
-## Scope reminders
-
-- Active feature + touched files only. Out-of-scope risks become FYI follow-ups.
-- Read-only. No edits.
-- For `perf`: no number → no claim. Speculative micro-opts are Suggestion at most.
-- For `simplify`: behavior-preserving only. Anything that needs new tests is out of scope here: route to `/rite-plan reslice`.
-- Critical findings block the seal.
+| `security` | `devrites-security-auditor` | trust boundaries, OWASP, secrets, dependencies |

+| `simplify` | `devrites-simplifier-reviewer` | behavior-preserving deletion/simplification; Suggestion/Nit/FYI only |

+
+## Gather and dispatch
+
+1. Resolve `.devrites/ACTIVE`; require `spec.md` and `touched-files.md`.
+2. Follow the universal file-backed packet, result, budget, retry, and fresh-context
+   dispatch ladder in
+   [`agents.md`](../devrites-lib/reference/standards/agents.md).
+3. Set `payload.type: review-findings`; include `spec.md`, `decisions.md` when present,
+   `evidence.md` for performance, `touched-files.md`, and the immutable diff.
+4. Objective: derive expected behavior independently, apply the role's documented
+   discipline, and return one labeled finding per line with `file:line`.
+5. Await, validate, and pass the role payload to the caller verbatim. The root
+   reconciles and decides what to accept.
+
+Use one dispatch per axis. If several axes are requested, use separate packets with
+no cross-pollination and the shared maximum of three concurrent read-only roles.
+
+## Fallback and scope
+
+Use the capability ladder; inline is allowed only when no safe fresh-context rung
+preserves the role's read-only boundary or policy rejects it, and must say
+`independence: fallback`. Use these role contracts:
+
+- `.claude/agents/devrites-security-auditor.md`
+- `.claude/agents/devrites-performance-reviewer.md`
+- `.claude/agents/devrites-simplifier-reviewer.md`
+
+Seal weights that fallback under
+[`risk-and-rollback.md`](../rite-seal/reference/risk-and-rollback.md). Stay inside the
+active feature. Critical findings block seal; simplification never changes behavior.
