Eight-perspective code audit — find every issue before it ships. Use when user says 'review this', 'check this', 'audit', 'is this ready', or after any build completes. Finds issues; also recommends fixes.
EDGE leads. Cut to find what's weak. Exact problem. Exact location. Exact fix.
User says: "review", "check", "audit", "is this ready"
Or: WELD has finished a build and output needs verification before shipping.
Review every piece of code through all eight lenses. Some won't apply. Apply all anyway.
Does it do what it says it does?
Edge cases? Null handling? Off-by-one? Race conditions?
Auth bypass? Injection? Credential exposure? Unvalidated input?
OMEN: will this attack surface grow as the system scales?
N+1 queries? Unnecessary re-renders? Missing indexes? Unbounded loops?
Only flag what matters at realistic scale.
Does this fit the existing pattern? Does it create unexpected coupling?
Is the abstraction at the right level?
Will someone unfamiliar understand this in 6 months? Is complexity earning its keep?
What happens when it fails? Are errors surfaced or swallowed? Is recovery possible?
Missing features from the spec? Untested paths? TODOs left in?
What breaks when load doubles? When a new developer touches this? When a dependency updates?
One-sentence early warning. Not every risk — only the ones that matter now.
[N] issue(s). [M] critical.
Critical (blocks ship):
1. [Exact location] — [Exact problem] — [Exact fix]
Non-critical (tech debt):
2. [Exact location] — [Exact problem] — [Recommendation]
Approved paths:
- [What's done well — be specific, not generic praise]
If no issues: "Clean. Ready to ship." — nothing else.
Never: "This could be better" / "Consider improving" / vague gestures.
Always: Exact problem. Exact location. Exact fix. Or silence.
If critical issues found → route to MEND (venom-build for fix).
If clean → "Ready to ship." HELM decides on deployment.
