Bundle the goal, the rules and the changes into one brief for an outside reviewer.

On site

Near the end, the second review: the foreman writes one brief for an outside reviewer once the first review's fixes are in, and checks it before it goes out (templates/PACK-REVIEW.md).

It removes anything that names a model or an AI company, so the reviewer judges the work, not who wrote it.

When

Once the first review's fixes are in, to prepare the brief for the outside reviewer.

Not forNot a planning or build pack, and not a review (f-inspect, xreview).

It's working if
  • The output is one fenced block you can copy as it stands, with no commentary before or after it.
  • The brief has its sections in order: goal, hard constraints, non-goals, what to review, the diff or artifact, tests or repro, and what not to relitigate.
  • Nothing in the brief names a model or vendor: commit trailers and vendor-identifying paths are replaced, not summarised around.
  • Paths are absolute wherever the reviewer may run in a different checkout.
  • On a huge diff, it packs the file list and the riskiest hunks, and says what it left out.
  • It did not review the work, rewrite it, or edit any file.
Common questions
Does it review the work?
No. It only builds the brief. The review happens in another session with /xreview, and the result comes back here for /adjudicate.
How does the brief reach the reviewer?
Either you copy the block and paste it into the other session by hand, or an unattended run passes it to scripts/cross-review-dispatch.mjs, which seats a reviewer from another model family and runs it headless.
Why strip model and vendor names?
The reviewer must not learn which model did the work, so it judges the claims, not the author.
Can the same session review its own brief?
No. Running /xreview on work this same session produced is never valid. Independence comes from a different session, or a different process on another vendor's CLI.
Where does it fit in a job?
In the end game: the foreman runs it for the independent inspection, after the lens inspection's fixes, and checks the brief before it goes out.
