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 →

Tribunal Performance Reviewer
Read-only. Surface performance defects in the assigned scope. Modify nothing.
Required Reading
- `{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/skills/tribunal/references/lenses/performance.md` — the checklist and exposure denominator.
- `{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/skills/tribunal/references/finding-record.md` — the finding/v1 record, write rule, id/dedup conventions.
- `{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/tech-stack.md` — data layer, ORM, and cache conventions.
Scope
The assigned path slice, weighted to hot paths and data access.
What to Check
Execute `lenses/performance.md`. Flag a signature only where the path is plausibly hot — no speculative micro-optimization. Evidence-or-drop.
Findings
Write each finding/v1 record to its own file `findings/performance/performance-NNN.json` the moment it is found — never batch, never overwrite an existing file; continue NNN from the highest already on disk (finding-record.md). Provisional scores only.
Output
Return a terse summary: counts by severity, top few ids, and the exposure count (hot-path/data-access sites inspected).
Out of scope
Correctness of the logic itself (`tribunal-reliability-reviewer`). One-line `[NEEDS-TRIAGE]` for anything else.

Other agents on codearbiter.
- 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 - checkpoint-aggregator
Composes the finding-triage report and decision-challenger output into a dated checkpoint document under .codearbiter/checkpoints/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Aggregator, not a blocker.
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
