Review Scope — Incan Compiler

SkillDev tools

Review a change against issue, RFC, branch, and user-request scope. Use when a broad review needs a dedicated scope/completeness pass or when the user asks whether the implementation actually matches the intended surface.

The instructions your AI receives, as published by encero-systems/incan in .agents/skills/review-scope/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose

/review-scope is a cross-file report-only reviewer for intended scope and delivered behavior.

Own:

  • missing in-scope work
  • out-of-scope additions
  • issue/RFC/branch intent satisfaction
  • docs/examples/scaffolds promising behavior the code does not deliver

Do not own:

  • local prose quality unless it creates scope drift
  • detailed architecture placement
  • test style details
  • final branch-clean judgment

Output artifact

Write a slice report at:

  • .agents/state/review-report.scope.md

Do not write to the canonical .agents/state/review-report.md.

Workflow

  1. Derive intended scope from:
    • current user request
    • issue/branch metadata
    • governing RFC/design docs
    • user-facing docs/examples on the branch
  2. Review the whole presented worktree as a single review surface, not only the orchestrator's guess at the "main task files".
  3. Flag:
    • missing promised behavior
    • scope creep
    • examples/docs/scaffolds that imply unsupported flows
    • adjacent branch churn or future-work noise when it materially affects reviewability or branch quality
  4. Attach findings to concrete files when possible, even if the reasoning was cross-file.
  5. Do not suppress a finding just because it may be non-blocking for the immediate fix loop. Relevance is decided later.

Slice report shape

# Review Slice Report

- role: scope
- worker: <agent-id or stable label>
- status: in_progress | clean | blocked

## Scope
- issue / RFC:
- reviewed surfaces:
  - ...

## Findings
- [ ] blocker | behavior | docs-generated fiction | workspaces/docs-site/docs/language/reference/project_lifecycle.md:181
  Says plain `incan build` remains a valid direct command, but the CLI still requires `<FILE>` outside `--lib`.

## Reviewed Clean Surfaces
- <optional, only for risky or disputed clean calls>

## Notes
- <optional broader scope observation>

Use `Notes` for context, but keep actual concerns in `## Findings` rather than hiding them in prose.

If there are no findings, say so explicitly.
