Reviews a technical proposal from the perspective of organizational decision-makers (CTO, technical lead, QA lead, conference reviewers, etc.) and generates an HTML presentation deck. Outputs approval gate results per persona and connects to sim-conductor for improvement suggestions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# apex-review — Decision-Maker Review Layer

> Reviews proposals from the perspective of **top-level organizational decision-makers**, not field practitioners.
> Technically excellent and "this person will approve it" are different things.

**Role distinction from hub-persona-auditor**
- hub-persona-auditor: Validates **reader comprehension** of a finished asset (reading experience)
- apex-review: Evaluates **decision-maker approval likelihood** of a technical proposal (decision-making experience)

---

## Triggers

- `/apex-review`
- "Will this work for the decision-maker?", "Will the CTO approve this?", "What do I need to present to the team lead?"
- "Review from an executive perspective", "Generate presentation slides" (when decision-maker audience is specified)
- When agent-composer identifies a task requiring a decision-maker approval gate
- "Check this before I report to my manager"
- "Does this look convincing?"
- "Find objections they might raise in advance"
- "Review before the executive briefing"
- "Do you think this will pass?"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/apex-review@sha256:e42395e183483945

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.eede7ad, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
