Conducts a focused review from ONE specific specialist's perspective (e.g., Security Specialist, Performance Expert). Use when the user requests "Ask [specialist role] to review [target]", "Get [specialist]'s opinion on [topic]", "Have [role] review [code/component]", or when they want deep expertise in ONE specific domain. Do NOT use for comprehensive multi-perspective reviews (use architecture-review instead) or for listing available specialists (use list-members instead).

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

# Specialist Review (orchestrator)

Single-specialist deep-dive review. This skill is an **orchestrator** — it identifies the right specialist and delegates the review to that specialist's subagent (`agents/<id>.md`). The deep-perspective work happens in the subagent's isolated context, not in this skill's main thread.

See [ADR-013](../../.architecture/decisions/adrs/ADR-013-skill-orchestrator-subagent-delegation.md) for the rationale.

## Process

### 1. Parse the request

Extract from the user's request:
- **Specialist role** (e.g., "Security Specialist", "Performance Expert")
- **Target** (e.g., "API authentication", "the payments module", "ADR-007")

If either is unclear, ask one focused clarifying question and stop.

### 2. Resolve the specialist

Read `.architecture/members.yml` and find the member whose `name` or `title` matches the requested role (case-insensitive, allow common abbreviations like "security" → "Security Specialist").

The member's `id` (e.g., `security_specialist`) maps to a subagent at `agents/<kebab-id>.md` (e.g., `agents/security-specialist.md`). The drift check in CI (`generate-subagents --check`) guarantees that file exists if the member exists.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codenamev/ai-software-architect/specialist-review@sha256:89aa3e40e4b7d575

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260504.de7ccc8, 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.
