3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Strategic read-only review of the codebase. Produce actionable findings. No fixes.
Scope (domains or systems to focus on). Target branch (default main).
Before starting: check if <slug>.findings.md exists for this scope. If it does, build on prior findings rather than starting over.
Load context — Read AGENTS.md for invariants and authoritative systems. Check GitHub activity (gh issue list --state open, gh pr list) to identify hotspots.
Sample strategically — Focus on:
Report — Group findings by severity (Critical/Major/Minor) with path:line and impact description.
Track findings — For Critical and Major findings, create GitHub issues via /issue. For AIDE framework findings, use /issue with appropriate labels.

Skeptical gap analysis for issues, ADRs, plans, and docs. Use when the user wants a second-pass check for missing decisions, contradictions, edge cases, hidden dependencies, scope drift, or readiness before implementation.
