Patterns for using a second AI agent or model to challenge the primary builder agent's work. Covers six review modes (Diff Critique, Design Challenge, Threaded Debate, Delegated Scrutiny, Deciding Vote, Coverage Audit), how to set up peer review with any model via MCP server, peer review iteration loops that alternate builder and reviewer prompts, the Codex Loop Mode (Cavekit + Ralph Loop + Codex as reviewer via CLI or MCP fallback), and prompt templates for each strategy.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use a second AI agent to review and challenge the first agent's work. The peer reviewer exists to find what the builder missed -- not to agree, not to be polite, and not to rubber-stamp. This is the single most effective quality gate you can add beyond automated tests.
The peer reviewer's job is to find what the builder missed, not to agree.
A review that says "looks good" is a wasted review. The peer review model should be given explicit instructions to be critical, to challenge assumptions, and to look for what is not there rather than what is.
LLMs have blind spots. Every model has patterns it over-relies on, edge cases it misses, and architectural assumptions it makes implicitly. A second model -- or the same model with a different prompt and role -- catches a different set of issues.
The analogy: In traditional engineering, code review exists because the author has cognitive blind spots about their own work. The same principle applies to AI agents, but the blind spots are different: they are systematic patterns in training data, context window limitations, and prompt interpretation biases.
