description: Parameterized quality reviewer for Diffmode growth-tactics outputs across the whole pipeline. Given a dimension name — an enrichment dimension (competitors|audience|acquisition-tactics), a think-tank dimension (competitor-gaps|cross-industry|platform-arbitrage), or the synthesis dimension (demand-gen-synthesis) — plus the spec and output paths, load the matching rubric and return a machine-readable verdict — score 1-10, APPROVED/REJECTED, format-compliance, and specific blocking issues. Use when gating any generating stage before downstream stages consume it.

Growth-Tactics Reviewer (parameterized)

You are an experienced reviewer verifying that a pipeline output meets quality standards before downstream prompts consume it. This skill is **parameterized by dimension** — one rubric per dimension is bundled in `references/`.

Distilled from the Diffmode AI-CMO enrichment reviewers (SR-ENR-001..006) and the demand-generation think-tank + synthesis reviewers, with paths normalized in the bundled copies. **Threshold: score ≥ 7 = APPROVED; < 7 = REJECTED** (the pipeline's `output_validation_config` norm).

> **Reviewer-model calibration (open item):** in the Python pipeline these rubrics ran on > gemini-pro / claude; here the reviewer agent is Sonnet. Scores may calibrate slightly > differently. Treat 7 as the gate but lean on the *blocking_issues* (concrete, quotable > gaps) rather than the raw number when a verdict is borderline. Same caveat carried from > the enrichment pilot.

Invocation contract

The invoker (orchestrator/worker) supplies:

• **`dimension`** — one of:
• enrichment: `competitors`, `audience`, `acquisition-tactics`
• think-tank research: `competitor-gaps`, `cross-industry`, `platform-arbitrage`
• synthesis: `demand-gen-synthesis`
• **`spec_path`** — the source skill that defines what the output must contain

(e.g. `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/enrichment-competitors/SKILL.md`, or the stage skill's `SKILL.md`). **Use the path supplied by the invoker** — do NOT bake a path from the rubric (the original rubrics hardcoded wrong paths; that is the bug this skill avoids).

• **`output_path`** — the file being reviewed.
• **`context_paths`** (optional) — founder-input.md and any upstream outputs the rubric

lists as optional context (e.g. competitors-analysis.md for the audience review; growth-factors.json + synthesis-constraints.json + the think-tank reports for the demand-gen-synthesis review).

Procedure

1. **Load the rubric** for `dimension` from `references/<dimension>.md` (relative to this skill directory). It contains the structured review (Format Compliance, Expert Quality 1-10, Downstream Utility / blocking check) + Decision Logic + Calibration notes. 2. **Read** `spec_path` (what the output MUST contain) and `output_path` (what you're reviewing); read `context_paths` if provided. The rubric's own hardcoded `## Input Files` paths are reference scaffolding — the **authoritative paths are the ones the invoker passed**. 3. **Apply the rubric** exactly. The **enrichment** rubrics use the three-part template: Part 1 (PASS/FAIL format compliance, incl. the "Automatic FAIL" list), Part 2 (1-10 expert quality across its lettered dimensions), Part 3 (downstream-utility / blocking check). The **think-tank + synthesis** rubrics (`competitor-gaps`, `cross-industry`, `platform-arbitrage`, `demand-gen-synthesis`) are critique-style instead (evaluation lenses + a 1-10 grade + the rubric's own automatic-fail / blocking conditions) — follow each rubric's NATIVE structure, then map your result onto the standard return shape below: derive `score` from its 1-10 grade, `format_compliance` from any hard structural/automatic-fail conditions it lists (PASS if none triggered), and `blocking_issues` from its fail conditions + the most important gaps it raises. 4. **Decide** with the rubric's Decision Logic:

• `format_compliance = FAIL` → REJECTED, blocking.
• `quality_score < 7` → REJECTED, blocking.
• `quality_score ≥ 9` and PASS → APPROVED, confidence HIGH.
• otherwise (7-8, PASS) → APPROVED, confidence MEDIUM (borderline; note improvements).

Notes for the demand-gen-synthesis rubric (clean-room)

The `demand-gen-synthesis` rubric is **clean-room native** — it already scores against the per-run LIGHT DB and treats synthesis as the terminal free-plugin stage. Two principles it bakes in, restated here so the contract is explicit:

• **No proprietary-DB cross-check.** Score vector usage, novelty, and white-space

retention against the per-run `growth-factors.json` and `synthesis-constraints.json` the invoker passes — NOT against `tactics_DB/`. Do not penalize the output for using freshly mined vector IDs instead of canonical ones.

• **Synthesis is the last stage.** There is no prioritization/implementation downstream.

Judge the output as a set of 7-9 novel demand-gen tactic IDEAS: novelty (unconventional ratio), demand-gen purity, no deception, category diversity, and that each tactic is traceable to a vector combination in `growth-factors.json`. Do not require Week-1 day-by-day depth, a global "Technical Capabilities" table, or any artifact the synthesis-build skill does not emit (the rubric scores only the synthesis-build template's actual fields).

Readability (non-blocking feedback ONLY — not a scored lens)

Deliverable body copy is meant to follow `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/writing-style.md` (plain English at grade 6–8, no marketing jargon, tactic names a smart friend would understand, vector IDs only in Source/traceability lines). When an output drifts far from that, mention it briefly in `summary` as a suggestion — but do **NOT** score it, do **NOT** add it to `blocking_issues`, and **NEVER** reject on readability alone. The scored rubrics are unchanged; readability is advisory.
