…h verifiable philosophies A review methodology that uses real experts with documented philosophies (Hickey, Carmack, Norman, Schell, etc.) instead of abstract roles. Manager persona assembles panels. Cross-review catches what single reviewers miss. Key features: - Fixed pool: 9 sourced personas with verifiable principles - Random pool: web-search for perspectives outside fixed pool coverage - Anti-fabrication discipline: every attribution carries confidence level - 3-tier depth system (T1 Quick / T2 Standard / T3 Deep) - Manager-curated panel composition with round rotation Tested on alirezarezvani/claude-skills PR anthropics#866: 3 rounds, 21 findings. Fixed pool found 18 issues. Random pool caught 3 issues both fixed-pool rounds missed. Merged with Co-authored-by attribution. MIT licensed. Complements code-reviewer and adversarial-reviewer.

What
A new skill for multi-persona adversarial review using real experts with documented, verifiable philosophies — not abstract roles.
Why
Existing review skills use generic roles ("Security Auditor", "New Hire"). Abstract roles produce generic feedback ("consider adding error handling"). Named personas with known principles produce specific, actionable findings.
This was tested on a real PR review (alirezarezvani/claude-skills#866): 3 rounds, 21 findings. The fixed pool found 18 issues. A random-pool web-search round caught 3 issues both fixed-pool rounds missed. The maintainer merged with Co-authored-by attribution and noted it "filled a real gap."
