What this skill does
Competitive Review Dispatch two competing reviewers before deep analysis. Competition produces more thorough results. Purpose Different perspectives catch different issues. Architecture reviewers find structural problems; implementation reviewers find code-level bugs and fact-check claims. Running them in competition ("whoever finds more issues gets promoted") increases thoroughness. Triggers Use before ANY complex task involving: Creating new code Modifying existing architecture Making technical decisions Answering questions about a codebase Building new features Protocol Step 1: Announce the Competition Say: "I'm dispatching two competing reviewers to analyze this." Step 2: Spawn Both Agents IN PARALLEL Tell each agent: "You are competing against another agent. Whoever finds more valid issues gets promoted. Be thorough." Step 3: Collect Results Wait for both agents to return their analysis. Step 4: Merge & Score Step 5: Feed to Deep Think ONLY NOW spawn deep-think-partner with: Original question Combined issues list Verified facts from impl-reviewer Why Competition Works 1. Agents try harder when told they're competing 2. Different perspectives catch different issues 3. The "promotion" framing creates urgency 4. Parallel execution saves time 5. Merge step deduplicates and prioritizes Example Output Integration with Other Skills
