<p data-prompt>Before committing to an architecture, interface, or rollout plan, have a critic argue that it is wrong. Record each objection, impact, and status in a repository-local log at .agent-reviews/redteam.md. The builder must fix and verify each high-impact weakness or document why it is accepted; the critic may reopen unsupported answers. Stop when no high-impact objection remains or the same issues repeat for two rounds without new evidence. Finish with the decision, resolved and accepted objections, evidence, and any stalemate.</p>

<h2 id="run-loop">How to run it</h2>
<ol class="detail-steps">
<li>Write the design goals and acceptance criteria, then initialize .agent-reviews/redteam.md inside the repository and keep it out of commits.</li>
<li>Have the critic present the strongest evidence-backed case against the current design and rank each objection by impact.</li>
<li>Have the builder repair the weakness or document an explicit acceptance rationale, then verify the result against the stated criteria.</li>
<li>Let the critic reopen weak answers and repeat until the objections are closed with evidence or the loop reports a stalemate honestly.</li>
</ol>
</section>
<section aria-labelledby="why-it-works">
<h2 id="why-it-works">Why it works</h2>
<p>Separating critic and builder roles makes disagreement explicit. A persistent objection log prevents circular debate, while evidence-based closure stops the builder from declaring success by explanation alone.</p>
</section>
<section class="implementation-note" aria-labelledby="implementation-note">
<h2 id="implementation-note">Implementation note</h2>
<p>Keep the critic independent where possible. Do not change the acceptance criteria mid-run simply to close a difficult objection.</p>
