Runs several independent reviewers against the same change. Useful when you want more than one perspective instead of a single pass.

## What it does

The skill spins up a fleet of reviewer subagents, each with its own focus area. Core reviewers cover correctness, security and abuse, architecture, code quality and conventions, and simplicity and scope. Specialist reviewers handle product UX and accessibility, performance and reliability, telemetry and observability, testing strategy, API compatibility, and documentation.

Reviewer prompts live in `reviewers/`. Each subagent cannot see the others and has to stay inside its role, so findings do not overlap. The default mode is `single`: reviewers run once, results are merged and duplicates dropped. `iterate` mode only kicks in when you ask for it — accepted findings get fixed, the relevant reviewers rerun, and the loop continues until the review is clean.

Every reviewer needs its prompt file, the task or PR context, the diff or changed files, and any test results and logs. No diff means nothing to review, so prepare the change first. Independent reviewers run best in parallel. Raw reviewer transcripts stay out of the final report unless you ask for them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill review-team -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/review-team/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/review-team/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill review-team -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/review-team/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill review-team -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/review-team/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install cline/skills review-team
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/review-team/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill review-team -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/cline/skills --path skills/review-team
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/review-team/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill review-team -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/cline/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/review-team/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- get several independent opinions on one diff
- catch a security issue before merge
- check a change against project conventions
- rerun reviewers after applying fixes
- separate real findings from noise and duplicates

## Example prompts
- run review-team on this diff in single mode
- launch the full reviewer fleet on the changed files
- fix the findings and rerun the reviewers until it's clean

# Review Team

Run a fleet of specialized reviewer subagents against the same change. Each reviewer is intentionally unaware of the others and must stay within its assigned focus area.

Reviewer prompts live in `reviewers/`. Read only the reviewer files you plan to launch.

## Modes

- **single**: Default. Launch reviewers once, aggregate findings, deduplicate, and report the final review.
- **iterate**: Launch reviewers, fix accepted findings, rerun relevant reviewers, and repeat until the review is clean or the remaining findings are intentionally deferred.

If the user does not specify a mode, use **single**. Use **iterate** only when the user explicitly asks to keep fixing, make reviewers happy, or run until clean.

## Reviewer Set

Core reviewers:

- `reviewers/correctness-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/security-abuse-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/architecture-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/code-quality-conventions-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/simplicity-scope-reviewer.md`

Specialist reviewers:

- `reviewers/product-ux-accessibility-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/performance-reliability-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/telemetry-observability-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/testing-strategy-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/api-compatibility-reviewer.md`
- `reviewers/documentation-dx-reviewer.md`

Default to all reviewers when the user asks for the full team. For narrower requests, launch only the relevant reviewers.

## Launch Pattern

For each reviewer subagent, provide:

1. The exact reviewer prompt from its Markdown file.
2. The task description, PR/issue context, or user request.
3. The diff or changed files to review.
4. Any test results, logs, screenshots, or relevant repository context.

Add this wrapper to every reviewer prompt:

```text
You are one reviewer in a fleet of independent code review agents. You cannot see the other reviewers. Stay strictly within your assigned role. Return only concrete, actionable findings with file and line references. If you find no issues in your area, say so clearly. Do not provide general commentary, praise, summaries, or duplicate concerns outside your mandate.
```

Prefer running independent reviewers in parallel. Do not ask multiple reviewers to solve the same broad task in the same way; their reviewer prompt is their boundary.

## Aggregation

After reviewers finish:

1. Merge duplicate findings.
2. Drop findings that lack a concrete failure mode, user impact, security risk, or maintenance cost.
