One thing to look at
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Skeptically verify completed changes, agent work, merge readiness, and hidden regressions. Use after implementation when claims need independent proof; do not use as the primary implementation or ordinary code-review workflow.

Adversarial Review Skill
Use this skill for an independent final challenge after implementation or a
primary review is complete. Always load
review-verification-protocol
before reporting findings. For repository changes, also load
code-review.
Do not use it to implement changes, debug an active unexplained failure, or replace the first focused review of a diff.
Workflow
- Compare the request, acceptance criteria, diff, tests, documentation, and prior agent claims.
- Re-run or independently inspect the strongest available evidence instead of accepting summaries at face value.
- Challenge one plausible hidden failure mode, including invalid states, untested boundaries, scope creep, and regressions.
- Report only findings supported by reproducible evidence. Distinguish blockers from follow-ups and explicitly clear disproved concerns.
- Record skipped checks, assumptions, and residual risk before recommending a merge or handoff.
Output
Return a merge recommendation with verified evidence, blockers, follow-ups, skipped validation, and assumptions that still need proof.
