Verification

Purpose
This skill is not invoked directly by users. It is called by other commands (e.g., /do-issue, /pr-review) at critical decision points to:
- Calculate Reversibility Score (RS) for the current context
- Determine if full War Room deliberation is needed
- Return either a quick recommendation (express) or escalate to full War Room
When Commands Should Invoke This
| Command | Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|
/do-issue | 3+ issues, dependency conflicts, overlapping files |
/pr-review | >3 blocking issues, architecture changes, ADR violations |
/architecture-review | ADR violations, high coupling, boundary violations |
/fix-pr | Major scope, conflicting reviewer feedback |
Invocation Pattern
Skill(attune:war-room-checkpoint) with context:
- source_command: "{calling_command}"
- decision_needed: "{human_readable_question}"
- files_affected: [{list_of_files}]
- issues_involved: [{issue_numbers}] (if applicable)
- blocking_items: [{type, description}] (if applicable)
- conflict_description: "{summary}" (if applicable)
- profile: "default" | "startup" | "regulated" | "fast" | "cautious"
Checkpoint Flow
Step 1: Context Analysis
Analyze the provided context to extract:
- Scope of change (files, modules, services affected)
- Stakeholders impacted
- Conflict indicators
- Time pressure signals
Step 2: Reversibility Assessment
Calculate RS using the 5-dimension framework:
| Dimension | Assessment Question |
|---|---|
| Reversal Cost | How hard to undo this decision? |
| Time Lock-In | Does this crystallize immediately? |
| Blast Radius | How many components/people affected? |
| Information Loss | Does this close off future options? |
| Reputation Impact | Is this visible externally? |
Score each 1-5, calculate RS = Sum / 25.
Step 3: Mode Selection
Apply profile thresholds to determine mode:
