• Want to stay in current session
• Want automatic review checkpoints

Two-Stage Review

1. **Spec Compliance** - Did they build what was requested? (nothing more, nothing less) 2. **Code Quality** - Is it well-built? (clean, tested, maintainable)

Spec MUST pass before quality review begins.

Red Flags

• Never skip either review stage
• Never proceed with unfixed issues
• Never dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel
• Never let implementer self-review replace actual review

Agents Used

• `agents/implementer/` - Fresh subagent per task
• `agents/spec-reviewer/` - Verifies spec compliance
• `agents/code-quality-reviewer/` - Verifies code quality
• `agents/code-reviewer/` - Final review of entire implementation
