How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Checkpoint Aggregator Agent
Final agent in the checkpoint pipeline. Read the finding-triage report, ensure the checkpoints directory exists, and write the dated checkpoint document. Composes; does not block. Runs after `finding-triage` completes.
Required Reading
1. `{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/CONTEXT.md` — the `stage:` value. 2. The finding-triage report from the current checkpoint run. 3. `{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/checkpoints/` — existing checkpoint documents (to avoid a duplicate).
Process
Step 1 — Ensure the checkpoints directory exists
Check `{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/checkpoints/`. Create it if missing. The checkpoint document is written there.
Step 2 — Determine the checkpoint date
Use the current date (YYYY-MM-DD). If a document for today exists, append a suffix: `YYYY-MM-DD-2.md`, `YYYY-MM-DD-3.md`. Never overwrite.
Step 3 — Write the checkpoint document
Write `{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/checkpoints/YYYY-MM-DD.md` with the structure below.
Step 4 — Report the path
Report: "Checkpoint document written to `{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/checkpoints/YYYY-MM-DD.md`."
Step 5 — Surface DEFERRABLE findings for harvest
After writing, list the `### DEFERRABLE` findings as follow-up harvest candidates and signal the orchestrator to run the follow-up harvest (`{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/includes/harvest.md`) so they reach `open-tasks.md` instead of languishing in the checkpoint doc. This agent does NOT write the board itself — the harvest is confirm-gated and run by the orchestrator (or auto under `/sprint`).
Checkpoint Document Structure
# Checkpoint — YYYY-MM-DD
## Project state
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Stage | N |
| Checkpoint date | YYYY-MM-DD |
| Reviewers | one row per reviewer the checkpoint dispatched |
## Finding summary
One row per dispatched reviewer (the checkpoint fleet varies by what the change touched:
architecture-drift-reviewer, coverage-auditor, security-reviewer, and as applicable
auth-crypto-reviewer, dependency-reviewer, migration-reviewer, plus decision-challenger).
| Reviewer | CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW |
|----------|----------|------|--------|-----|
| architecture-drift-reviewer | N | N | N | N |
| coverage-auditor | N | N | N | N |
| security-reviewer | N | N | N | N |

## Dispositions
### BLOCKS — must resolve before this change lands
| Finding | Source | Severity |
|---------|--------|----------|
| <description> | <reviewer> | CRITICAL/HIGH |
### DEFERRABLE — real, safe to follow up
| Finding | Source | Severity |
|---------|--------|----------|
| <description> | <reviewer> | MEDIUM |
### NON_BLOCKING — informational
| Finding | Source | Severity |
|---------|--------|----------|
| <description> | <reviewer> | LOW |
## All findings (full detail)
One `###` section per dispatched reviewer. Typical sections:
### Architecture Drift
[findings or "none"]
### Coverage / Test Audit
[findings or "none"]
### Security
[findings or "none"]
### Decision Challenges
[findings or "none"]
Hard Rules
- MUST NOT overwrite an existing checkpoint document.
- Every finding from the triage report MUST appear in the checkpoint document. Omit nothing.
- The `{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/checkpoints/` directory MUST be created if missing. Do not fail silently.

- architecture-drift-reviewer
Read-only checkpoint reviewer. Surfaces drift between the codebase and accepted ADRs in .codearbiter/decisions/. Informational — never blocks.
Open agent - auth-crypto-reviewer
Reviews authentication, cryptography, key handling, and secrets against {{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/security-controls.md. Hard blocks on banned primitives, exposed secrets, disabled TLS verification, and shell injection. Read-only checkpoint reviewer.
Open agent - backend-author
Use when writing or modifying backend/server-side code. Owns the TDD workflow, input validation, framework conventions, and ORM usage. MUST write failing tests before implementation code. Reads tech stack from {{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/tech-stack.md.
Open agent - coverage-auditor
Dispatched by the tdd skill (Phase 4) to audit test coverage against TDD obligations. Identifies untested source files, coverage below the maturity threshold, and logical test gaps.
Open agent - decision-challenger
Adversarial red-team reviewer of ADRs. Builds the strongest case against each decision, names load-bearing assumptions, assigns confidence 1–5, and surfaces evidence that would prove a decision wrong. Read-only. Dispatched optionally by decision-variance. Reads ADRs from
Open agent - dependency-reviewer
Dispatched when package.json, lock files, or container base images change. Verifies license, provenance, maintenance signal, and supply-chain posture against .codearbiter/security-controls.md and .codearbiter/tech-stack.md before merge.
