What this skill does
SDLC Review Skill Independently verify work handed from a Kanban implementation run to the review lane, then approve it, request changes, or escalate. This skill reviews the deliverable and its evidence; it does not take over the implementer's work. When to Use Use this skill when all of the following are true: the dispatcher spawned you for a task claimed from the review lane; an implementer submitted a reviewrequested handoff; the task needs an independent verdict before it can be completed. Do not use it for a separate downstream review card. A downstream card is ordinary implementation work with a review-oriented specification and completes through its own lifecycle. Prerequisites A Kanban worker context with the current task and run identifiers. Native Kanban tools: kanbanshow, kanbancomment, kanbancomplete, kanbanrequestchanges, and kanbanblock. Workspace access through readfile, searchfiles, and terminal when the deliverable is code. The task's original specification, acceptance criteria, handoff summary, and prior run history must be available through kanbanshow. How to Run This skill is loaded automatically by the review dispatcher. Start with kanbanshow before inspecting files or choosing a verdict. 1. Read the task specification and the latest reviewrequested handoff. 2. Inspect the actual deliverable and run relevant verification. 3. Choose exactly one verdict: approve, request changes, or escalate. 4. Record concrete evidence in the terminal Kanban transition. Quick Reference Verdict When Final action --- --- --- Approve Acceptance criteria and verification pass kanbancomplete Request changes Correctable implementation defects remain kanbancomment, then kanbanrequestchanges Escalate A human decision or external prerequisite is required kanbanblock A requested-changes transition returns the task to its original implementer. …
