Triangulate spec review
Skill QoderAI/better-harness/.agents/skills/triangulate-spec-review
Review and improve architecture specs, ADRs, plugin or agent directory proposals, and other design documents by running multiple independent AI reviewers such as Claude, Qoder, Codex, or Cursor Agent against the same artifact, normalizing P1/P2/P3 findings, and iterating only on blocking or high-risk issues.From its SKILL.md

Triangulate Spec Review
Use independent AI reviewers as an evaluation surface for specs. The lead agent owns synthesis, edits, validation, and the final recommendation.
Workflow
- Resolve the target spec path and the acceptance gate. If the user did not
name dimensions, default to
complexity,convenience, andevolution. - Read the target spec and nearby repo instructions. Do not pass your suspected fixes or conclusions to reviewers.
- Use the same read-only prompt for every reviewer. Ask for structured
P1/P2/P3findings and ap1_p2_clearboolean. - Run at least two reviewers; prefer three when available. Use
scripts/run-triad-review.mjsfor repeatable local runs. - Normalize findings. Treat reviewers as evidence, not authority:
fix convergent
P1/P2issues first, challenge weak or contradictory findings, and leaveP3as backlog unless it is cheap and clarifying. - If the user asked for edits, patch only the owning spec or directly related helper docs. Keep unrelated refactors out of the review loop.
- Run local validation such as
git diff --check, relevant tests, and targetedrgchecks for renamed concepts or stale paths. - Repeat the reviewer pass until every requested reviewer reports no
P1orP2, or until the user stops the loop.
Resources
- Read
references/review-loop.mdfor the prompt contract, severity rubric, command matrix, and iteration patterns. - Run this skill's
scripts/run-triad-review.mjs --target <path>script, resolved relative to thetriangulate-spec-reviewskill directory, to execute a read-only review round and write normalized JSON output.
Guardrails
- Pass raw artifacts and task-local context to reviewers, not intended answers.
- Keep every reviewer prompt materially identical unless a tool requires command syntax changes.
- Do not let reviewers edit files. The lead agent applies changes after comparing findings.
- Do not declare acceptance from an average score. Acceptance requires no
P1/P2findings from the required review surface.
