Review a technical specification through expert lenses. Use to identify gaps, risks, and missing considerations in an existing spec. Works on any tech spec, not just those created with tech-spec:create.

# Review Technical Specification

## Inputs

Ask the user to provide:

- **Tech spec**: Path to the specification file, or pasted content

- **Focus areas** (optional): Specific concerns to prioritize (e.g., "security", "API design")

- **Repositories** (optional): Codebases to consult when verifying spec claims

## Code Exploration

When repositories are provided, consult code to verify:

- Proposed patterns match existing conventions

- Referenced files and structures exist

- Implementation assumptions are accurate

## Review Process

### Identify Expert Perspectives

Select relevant personas from [references/experts.md](references/experts.md):

- Always include standard personas (security, API, database, etc.)

- Add dynamic personas based on spec content (integrations, analytics, etc.)

- User-specified focus areas get priority

### Conduct Review

1. Scan the spec for areas within their expertise

2. Identify findings: gaps, risks, unclear decisions, missing considerations

3. Rate severity: blocking, important, or nice-to-have

### Present Findings

Group related findings into batches and present via `AskUserQuestion`:

- Batch by persona or topic when findings cluster naturally

- Present individually when no natural grouping exists

- Include severity and recommendations

### Interview for Resolution

For findings with meaningful trade-offs:

- Discuss alternatives with the user

- Capture decisions in the Design Decisions table

- Update the spec with resolutions

### Update Spec

- Add missing sections or considerations

- Expand the Design Decisions table

- Clarify ambiguous areas
