What specialized agents are involved in the design review?

The skill spawns five specialized agents: a Product Manager for use case validation, an Architect for technical soundness, a Designer for UX/API quality, a Security Agent for threat modeling, and a CTO for codebase alignment.

How does the Design Review Gate trigger automatically?

It activates when a design document is committed to the docs/plans/ directory, immediately following the completion of a brainstorming task, or via a manual project command.

Does this skill help with task management after approval?

Yes, once all five agents approve the design, the skill can automatically create a BEADS epic and generate sequential implementation tasks for infrastructure, backend, and frontend phases.

What happens if one of the agents rejects the design document?

If any agent returns a 'NEEDS_REVISION' verdict, the skill consolidates the specific blockers and suggestions, presents them to the user for iteration, and allows for up to three re-runs before escalating to a human.

Herramientas de Colaboración

Automates multi-perspective technical design reviews by spawning specialized AI agents to validate architecture, security, and product alignment.

Acerca de

The Design Review Gate skill introduces a deterministic quality control layer for AI-driven software development by orchestrating a parallel review process involving five distinct specialist personas. When a design document is created or brainstorming completes, the skill automatically spawns Product Manager, Architect, Designer, Security, and CTO agents to evaluate the plan against specific rubrics. This multi-agent consensus model ensures that technical designs are robust, secure, and aligned with business goals before implementation begins, effectively catching structural flaws and security vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.

Características Principales

Deterministic approval logic requiring consensus from all five specialist agents

29 GitHub stars
Automated implementation task generation via BEADS integration

Casos de Uso

Validating complex technical architectures before starting large feature builds
Standardizing design review workflows across distributed AI-assisted development teams
Ensuring security compliance and threat modeling are addressed during the design phase
