Triangulate Spec Review

By QoderAI· QoderAI/better-harness· 0

Review architecture specs and design docs using multiple independent AI reviewers to surface consensus issues.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/triangulate-spec-review-qoderai/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Review and improve architecture specs, ADRs, plugin or agent directory proposals, and other design documents by running multiple independent AI reviewers such as Claude, Qoder, Codex, or Cursor Agent against the same artifact, normalizing P1/P2/P3 findings, and iterating only on blocking or high-risk issues.

What this skill does

Triangulate Spec Review

Use independent AI reviewers as an evaluation surface for specs. The lead agent owns synthesis, edits, validation, and the final recommendation.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the target spec path and the acceptance gate. If the user did not name dimensions, default to complexity, convenience, and evolution.
  2. Read the target spec and nearby repo instructions. Do not pass your suspected fixes or conclusions to reviewers.
  3. Use the same read-only prompt for every reviewer. Ask for structured P1/P2/P3 findings and a p1_p2_clear boolean.
  4. Run at least two reviewers; prefer three when available. Use scripts/run-triad-review.mjs for repeatable local runs.
  5. Normalize findings. Treat reviewers as evidence, not authority: fix convergent P1/P2 issues first, challenge weak or contradictory findings, and leave P3 as backlog unless it is cheap and clarifying.
  6. If the user asked for edits, patch only the owning spec or directly related helper docs. Keep unrelated refactors out of the review loop.
  7. Run local validation such as git diff --check, relevant tests, and targeted rg checks for renamed concepts or stale paths.
  8. Repeat the reviewer pass until every requested reviewer reports no P1 or P2, or until the user stops the loop.

Resources

  • Read references/review-loop.md for the prompt contract, severity rubric, command matrix, and iteration patterns.
  • Run this skill's scripts/run-triad-review.mjs --target <path> script, resolved relative to the triangulate-spec-review skill directory, to execute a read-only review round and write normalized JSON output.

Guardrails

  • Pass raw artifacts and task-local context to reviewers, not intended answers.
  • Keep every reviewer prompt materially identical unless a tool requires command syntax changes.
  • Do not let reviewers edit files. The lead agent applies changes after comparing findings.
  • Do not declare acceptance from an average score. Acceptance requires no P1/P2 findings from the required review surface.
