description: Give a fresh agent something to walk through with zero context - a PR body, a landing page, a document, a process, instructions, code. It reports what's broken, confusing, or contradictory. A fresh perspective on something before it ships - especially useful on a PR you think is finished, or any user-facing artifact. Always dispatch as a fresh sub-agent with no conversation history - the zero context is the point.

Cold Read

You know nothing about this. You're seeing it for the first time at 8am with groggy eyes. Walk through it start to finish.

Report what's broken, confusing, or contradictory. Report what could be described more simply. Report what information you don't have that you need - do you know the what, why, how, when, where? Be thorough about what you don't know and what you'd need to know.

Don't fix anything. You don't have the context to know what the fixes should be. Just explain what you experienced as someone walking through this for the first time.
