A finished change earns "done" only after three lenses pass: its shape, its diff, and its docs. Each has a specialist skill. This skill owns only what they can't — the order they run in, the loop between them, and one verdict.
Workflow
- Scope. Fix the diff under review and confirm it's substantive; skip the whole pass for trivial edits.
- Shape — refactor-clean. Run it first, while restructuring is cheap and before you audit a diff that's about to move.
- Diff — code-review. Audit the settled shape. A finding that forces a structural change sends you back to step 2, not onward.
- Docs — write-docs. Update the docs this change touched. Then trace the link chain from the root README down to each one: every link on the path still resolves, and the hub-to-leaf flow still reads in order.
- Report. One verdict across all three passes — what each found, what you changed, what you left and why. Done only when every pass is clean or resolved.
Rules
- When you enter a pass, read its skill — the rules live there, not here.
- Order governs presentation, not disclosure: surface a finding the moment you hit it, even when a later pass owns it.
- Loop, don't cascade: a later fix that reopens an earlier pass returns there. Stop when a full pass adds nothing.
