Adversarial Review
Overview
Independent adversarial code review checking spec compliance. Uses binary PASS/FAIL verdicts (not subjective feedback) with required file:line evidence citations.
When to Use
- After quality gates pass in the execution loop
- For final comprehensive cross-unit review
- When verifying spec compliance of any implementation
Key Differences from Collaborative Review
| Aspect | Collaborative | Adversarial |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Help improve code | Verify spec compliance |
| Verdict | Suggestions | Binary PASS/FAIL |
| Evidence | Optional | Required (file:line) |
| Reviewer | Can be reused | Must be fresh |
| Context | Shared | Independent |
Fresh Reviewer Rule
On re-review after FAIL, a NEW reviewer instance spawns with no memory of the previous review. This prevents anchoring bias where a reviewer fixates on previously identified issues.
Anti-Patterns
- Reusing reviewers after FAIL
- Passing previous findings to new reviewers
- Providing subjective or advisory feedback
- Accepting partial compliance as PASS
Tool Use
Invoke as part of: methodologies/metaswarm/metaswarm-execution-loop (Phase 3)

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
