execution-grounded-review

# Execution-Grounded Review A normal review reads the diff and asks *"does this look right?"* — and an implementation can *look* complete while a criterion silently fails. This skill refuses to grade an implementation on appearance: it **runs the suite first**, then traces each acceptance criterion to **execution evidence** — a test that actually exercised it, or observed behaviour — and marks anything it cannot back with execution as `UNVERIFIED` rather than passing it on faith. It is the **execution-grounded verifier** in the agent-patterns review family: where `adversarial-review` attacks a *design* for faults and `cold-read-gate` measures whether *text* survives a reader, this skill verifies that *running code* meets its *stated acceptance criteria*. It is the reusable independent verifier a judgement-based loop gate delegates to (`.claude/rules/loop-integrity.md`, Pillar 1). ## When to Use This Skill | Use this skill when... | Use something else instead when... | |---|---| | Verifying an implementation meets explicit acceptance criteria, proven by running it | First-pass review of a diff → `code-quality-plugin:code-review` | | Gating a loop/phase `done` on an independent check of *behaviour* | Red-teaming a *design* or ADR for faults → `agent-patterns-plugin:adversarial-review` | | Confirming a fix actually fixes the reported failure (not just compiles) | Checking *premises/facts* before work starts → `agent-patterns-plugin:verify-before-plan` | | Closing the loop on...
