adversarial-code-review-and-fix
Systematic pattern for catching design flaws in already-passing code through adversarial review, then fixing them with TDD confirmation.
Best use case
adversarial-code-review-and-fix is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Systematic pattern for catching design flaws in already-passing code through adversarial review, then fixing them with TDD confirmation.
Teams using adversarial-code-review-and-fix should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

# Adversarial Code Review and Fix When code passes all tests but may have design issues: (1) Run tests to establish baseline. (2) Perform adversarial review looking for sentinel value conflicts, overly strict bounds, and API design problems. (3) Document findings as MAJOR/MINOR. (4) Fix findings one at a time, adding new tests for previously-invalid cases. (5) Rerun full suite to confirm no regressions. (6) Commit fixes separately from implementation. This catches issues that functional testing alone misses.

ten-agent-pre-plan-review-wave
Launch and verify a 10-agent planning-only wave that moves open GitHub issues into status:plan-review using one isolated worktree per issue, wave-specific continuation cron, and post-run artifact-reconciliation checks.
static-site-build-artifact-plan-review
