Review whether a prompt diff weakens the rules of live-user interaction. Never edit prompts.
## 1. Diff
`ref` is the argument, default `HEAD`. Run `git diff <ref> -- plugin/skills/ plugin/agents/ DESIGN.md`. If it is empty, report an empty diff and stop.
## 2. Rounds
Items come from `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/checklist.md`. Round 1 covers all items; later rounds only items ruled `open`. At most 3 rounds.
Each round:
1. Launch `optimist` and `pessimist` in parallel (one message), giving each the diff command, the items and, after round 1, the arbiter's open points.
2. Launch `arbiter` with the diff command, the items and both replies.
3. Read its blocks: `Item N: safe | regression | open`, `Reason`, `Fix`, `Point`.
## 3. Open items
Items still `open` after round 3 go to the user via `AskUserQuestion`: one decision per question, 2-4 options, recommendation first, independent questions batched up to 4. Record the answers as the verdict.
## 4. Report
Prose only: a verdict per item (`safe`, `regression` with its fix, or the user's decision) and the agreed risks. No agent YAML, no raw diff.
