Does this skill update my project documentation?

Yes, once you make decisions based on the review feedback, the skill can automatically update your implementation plan files and commit the changes to Git.

How does the skill select which reviewers to use?

The skill automatically scans your project files (like package.json or pyproject.toml) to detect your tech stack and selects the most relevant experts, such as a Next.js reviewer or a Python strategist.

Can I use a specific reviewer for my plan?

Yes, you can specify a reviewer as an argument, such as '/arc:review security-sentinel', to focus the feedback on a single domain expertise.

What is the benefit of Socratic questions in a review?

Instead of providing rigid critiques, Socratic questions help you explore potential edge cases and alternative approaches while maintaining full ownership over the final technical decision.

Productivity & Workflow

Conducts parallel architectural and implementation reviews using specialized AI agents to validate technical designs.

The Review skill automates the critical process of technical validation by deploying multiple specialized reviewer agents—such as security sentinels, performance oracles, and product engineers—to analyze your plans in parallel. It transforms traditional critiques into a Socratic dialogue, asking exploratory questions that help developers catch edge cases and architectural flaws before implementation. By integrating directly with your local project context, it ensures that your designs are optimized for your specific tech stack, whether you are using Next.js, Python, or React.
