Arness Infra Review Change

Perform a comprehensive post-execution quality review of completed infrastructure changes. This skill reads all phase execution reports, the original spec, and the source plan, then invokes the `arn-infra-change-reviewer` agent to evaluate 7 quality categories and produce a structured review report with an overall verdict.

This is the quality gate between execution and documentation. A PASS or WARN verdict enables documentation generation. A NEEDS_FIXES verdict identifies specific remediation actions and suggests re-executing affected phases.

Prerequisites

Read `## Arness` from the project's CLAUDE.md. If no `## Arness` section exists or Arness Infra fields are missing, inform the user: "Arness Infra is not configured for this project yet. Run `/arn-infra-wizard` to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it.

Check the **Deferred** field. If `Deferred: yes`, inform the user: "Infrastructure is in deferred mode. Change review is not available until infrastructure is fully configured. Run `/arn-infra-assess` to un-defer." Stop.

Extract:

  • **Infra plans directory** -- where structured plan projects live (default: `.arness/infra-plans`)
  • **Infra specs directory** -- where change specs are stored (default: `.arness/infra-specs`)
  • **Providers** -- cloud providers configured
  • **Environments** -- environment names in promotion order
  • **Experience level** -- derived from user profile. Read `~/.arness/user-profile.yaml` (or `.claude/arness-profile.local.md` if it exists — project override takes precedence). Apply the experience derivation mapping from `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-infra-ensure-config/references/experience-derivation.md`. If no profile exists, check for legacy `Experience level` in `## Arness` as fallback.
  • **Cost threshold** -- monthly budget limit for cost compliance evaluation (default: `100`)

Locate the Completed Change Project

Search for completed or in-progress change projects:

Glob <infra-plans-dir>/*/PROGRESS_TRACKER.json

For each project found, read the PROGRESS_TRACKER.json and filter to projects where at least one phase has `execution.status === "completed"`.

**If one eligible project found:** Auto-select it. **If multiple eligible projects found:** Present the list with project names, phase completion status, and overall status. Ask the user to select. **If no eligible project found:** Inform the user: "No completed change projects found. Run `/arn-infra-execute-change` to execute a change plan first."

---

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Review Inputs

Read all artifacts from the selected project:

1. **Phase reports:** Read all `INFRA_CHANGE_REPORT_PHASE_N.json` files from the project's `reports/` directory:

   Glob <project-dir>/reports/INFRA_CHANGE_REPORT_PHASE_*.json

2. **Change spec:** Locate and read the original change spec:

  • Check PROGRESS_TRACKER.json for the `changeSpec` path
  • If not set, search the Infra specs directory: `Glob <infra-specs-dir>/INFRA_CHANGE_*.md`
  • Match by project name

3. **Source plan:** Read `<project-dir>/SOURCE_PLAN.md`

4. **INTRODUCTION.md:** Read `<project-dir>/INTRODUCTION.md` for cost budget and security requirements

**If any phase reports are missing (some phases not executed):** Warn: "Phase [N] has not been executed yet. The review will cover completed phases only. Consider running `/arn-infra-execute-change` to complete all phases before reviewing."

Present a review scope summary: "**Review scope:**

  • **Project:** [name]
  • **Phases completed:** [N] of [total]
  • **Environments covered:** [list]
  • **Resources deployed:** [count]

Ask (using `AskUserQuestion`):

**"Proceed with review?"**

Options: 1. **Yes** -- Start the quality review 2. **No** -- Cancel

---

Step 2: Invoke the Change Reviewer Agent

Invoke the `arn-infra-change-reviewer` agent via the Task tool, passing the model from `.arness/agent-models/infra.md` as the `model` parameter (see `plugins/arn-infra/skills/arn-infra-ensure-config/references/ensure-config.md` "Dispatch convention" for fallback). Structured context:

--- PHASE REPORTS ---
Phase 1 Report:
[full JSON content of INFRA_CHANGE_REPORT_PHASE_1.json]

Phase 2 Report:
[full JSON content of INFRA_CHANGE_REPORT_PHASE_2.json]

...
--- END PHASE REPORTS ---

--- CHANGE SPEC ---
[full content of the INFRA_CHANGE_*.md specification]
--- END CHANGE SPEC ---

--- CHANGE PLAN ---
[full content of SOURCE_PLAN.md]
--- END CHANGE PLAN ---

--- PROVIDER CONFIG ---
Providers: [from ## Arness]
Environments: [from ## Arness]
Cost threshold: [from ## Arness]
--- END PROVIDER CONFIG ---

--- REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS ---
Perform a comprehensive review across all 7 categories:
1. Security posture delta (before vs after -- any regressions?)
2. Cost compliance (estimated vs actual vs threshold)
3. Blast radius compliance (planned vs actual impact)
4. Rollback documentation (complete and actionable?)
5. Environment parity (consistent where expected?)
6. State consistency (clean state, no orphaned resources?)
7. Resource tagging (compliant with policy?)

Produce a structured review report with:
- Per-category evaluation with findings
- Per-finding entries with severity, description, resource, and suggestion
- Overall verdict: pass / warn / needs-fixes
- Recommendation and suggested next step
