# kc-review
> **Scope: `packages/agent-core-v2` only.** These lenses are calibrated for the v2 engine (DI × Scope). Do not apply them to the legacy `packages/agent-core` or to other packages.
A bundle of the lenses used when reviewing or testing `packages/agent-core-v2`. Each sub-skill is self-contained; invoke the one that matches the task.
## Sub-skills
- **`slop/`** — Single Level of Abstraction & layered error handling. A *review dimension*: a function should read as a straight-line description of its own layer, with errors handled above or below. The agent reports detections and measurements, not severity grades. **Invoke only when the user explicitly asks for this lens** — do not apply it unprompted to general reviews or refactors.
- **`test/`** — Per-test rules behind "test the contract / responsibility, not the implementation," serving two modes. **Write mode:** author a test — one behavior per `it`, drive through the public surface, stub only the true external boundary, control time/config via documented knobs, keep tests clear, isolated, and refactor-resilient (CCCR). **Review mode:** audit existing tests against the same rules and report findings with `file:line`. Use when writing, modifying, or reviewing tests, or when asked how to write a good single test.
## Routing
- Reviewing code structure / abstraction layers / where error handling belongs → `slop` (only on explicit request).
- Writing or modifying tests, reviewing test quality, or advising on a single test → `test`.
