- `--configure`, `--edit`, `--findings` are **mutually exclusive**
- `--model` **requires**`--agent`
- Profile can be passed **positionally OR** via `--profile`, **not both**
- Accepts **at most one** positional argument
- `--set-*` flags only meaningful with `--configure`
- Note: the old `entire review --fix` flow has been **removed** (referenced only in legacy comments)
The command itself is currently **hidden** from `entire help` (still maturing / labs feature), but works normally when invoked directly.
What is review attach even for?
1mo ago·12.3s
`entire review attach` is for **retroactively tagging a review you already ran manually** — i.e., a review that happened _without_ going through `entire review`.
## The problem it solves
Normally `entire review` launches agents for you, and the review session gets automatically captured and attached to the current commit's checkpoint as review metadata.
But sometimes you review code _outside_ that flow — for example:
- You manually opened Claude Code / Codex / Gemini and asked it to review your branch
- A teammate ran a review session
- You used review skills ad-hoc in a normal agent session
In those cases the review happened, but Entire doesn't know it counts as a _review_ — it's just a regular agent session. `review attach` lets you go back and **label that existing session as an `agent_review`** and link it to the current commit's checkpoint.
## What it actually does
From the code (`review_helpers.go`):
```
1
2
3
4
5
opts := attachOptions{
Force: force,
Review: true, // ← marks the session as a review
ReviewSkillsOverride: skillsFlag,
}
```
- Takes an existing **session ID**
- Tags it as a review and attaches review metadata to HEAD's checkpoint
- Records the **first user prompt** in the transcript as the review prompt
- Optionally records which **skills** were run (`--skills`)
## It's just a convenience alias
The docstring is explicit about this:
> _Equivalent to `entire attach --review ` — provided here for discoverability alongside the other review subcommands._
So `entire review attach ` and `entire attach --review ` do the same thing. The subcommand exists purely so people exploring `entire review` can discover it, rather than having to know about the `--review` flag on the separate `attach` command.
## Bonus: pending review markers
There's a subtle extra behavior — it checks for a "pending review marker":
```
1
marker, useMarker, markerErr := matchingPendingReviewMarker(...)
```
If a prior step left a marker (e.g. a review was started/expected), `attach` will auto-fill the agent name, skills, and prompt from that marker and then clear it. This smooths the case where the review flow was partially set up but the session needs to be linked manually after the fact.
Yeah, that alias is weird though if "entire attach" already exits and it's more convenient?
1mo ago·11.7s·2 calls
Honestly, you've got a point — and it's worth checking whether the alias is _truly_ just an alias or whether it's quietly diverged. Let me verify, because that changes the answer.
Good instinct — and digging in, it turns out the "it's just an alias" story is **stale**. The two commands have actually diverged, and that changes the picture.
## They're not equivalent anymore
**`entire attach --review `** (attach.go) is the plain version:
```
1
2
3
4
5
6
opts := attachOptions{
Force: force,
Review: reviewFlag,
ReviewSkillsOverride: skillsFlag,
}
return runAttachSurfaceReviewErrors(cmd, args[0], agentName, opts)
```
That's it — flag in, attach out.
**`entire review attach `** (review\_helpers.go) does extra work around **pending review markers**:
```
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
marker, useMarker, markerErr := matchingPendingReviewMarker(...)
if useMarker && !cmd.Flags().Changed("agent") && marker.AgentName != "" {
agentFlag = marker.AgentName // auto-fill agent
}
...
if !cmd.Flags().Changed("skills") {
opts.ReviewSkillsOverride = marker.Skills // auto-fill skills
}
opts.ReviewPromptOverride = marker.Prompt // auto-fill prompt
...
cliReview.ClearPendingReviewMarker(...) // clean up after
```
So the docstring's claim — _"Equivalent to `entire attach --review`"_ — is **no longer true**. It's misleading and should probably be fixed.
## The real reason it exists
It's the **second half of the marker-fallback flow**. Recall from `review/cmd.go`: when you run `entire review` against an agent that has _no review-runner adapter_, it can't drive the agent itself, so it calls `RunMarkerFallback` — it writes a "pending review" marker (agent, skills, prompt) and tells you to go run the review manually.
`entire review attach` is the designed completion step: you come back, run `entire review attach `, and it picks up that marker to auto-fill everything and clear it. `entire attach --review` has _none_ of that wiring.
## So your critique still partly lands
- The **discoverability** justification in the docstring is weak — the parent `review` command is `Hidden: true`, so it's not surfaced in `entire help` anyway.
- The **"it's an alias"** framing is just wrong now and undersells the actual difference, which is the part that matters.
The honest version of the docstring would be something like: _"Like `entire attach --review`, but also consumes a pending review marker left by `entire review` when the agent has no review runner."_ That's a real, non-redundant reason to exist — the current comment just describes it badly.
Want me to fix the docstring so it reflects what the command actually does?
I still don't get what it's good for and why it a) doesn't work automatically and b) is another command.
1mo ago·26m·2 calls
Fair — let me actually trace the full flow instead of hand-waving, because the "why" only makes sense if I show you the journey end to end.
Now I've got the whole flow. The key thing nobody told you: **`review attach` only exists for agents Entire can't drive itself.** For the common agents you never touch it. Here's the actual split.
## There are two kinds of review agents
**1\. Adapter-backed agents (claude-code, codex, gemini, pi)**
`entire review` _launches the agent itself_. When it spawns the process, it sets `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*` env vars on it. The lifecycle hook sees those vars and tags the resulting session as a review **automatically**. You never run `attach`. This is the normal path and it _does_ work automatically.
**2\. Adapterless agents (e.g. Cursor)**
Entire has no adapter that knows how to spawn and drive these with the right environment. So `entire review` literally cannot start the review for you. Instead, `RunMarkerFallback` runs and:
- writes a marker file recording _"you should review with agent X, these skills, this prompt"_
- prints instructions telling **you** to open the agent yourself and paste the prompt
```
1
2
3
4
fmt.Fprintf(out, "%s does not have an Entire review runner adapter yet. Marker written.\n", agentName)
fmt.Fprintf(out, "Start %s manually and run these skills:\n", agentName)
...
fmt.Fprintf(out, "Use this prompt:\n\n%s\n", prompt)
```
## So, to your two questions
**a) Why doesn't it work automatically?**
Because for adapterless agents, _Entire never controls the process spawn_. The automatic path is: "Entire spawns agent → sets env vars → hook tags session." If Entire doesn't do the spawning, there are no env vars, and the hook just sees a normal session with no idea it was a review. There's no hook to fire because you opened Cursor by hand. The manual `attach` step is the only way to retroactively say "that session I just ran was the review."
**b) Why is it another command?**
It honestly mostly _isn't_ — it's the same `attach` plumbing. It exists as a separate verb for two reasons:
- It's the back-half of the marker flow: it reads the marker to auto-fill the agent/skills/prompt so you don't retype them, then clears it.
- Discoverability — so people in the `review` world find it without knowing about `attach --review`.
## My honest take
Your frustration is legitimate — this is a leaky abstraction. The _real_ reason is a hard technical limit (can't programmatically drive Cursor), but the UX fallout ("go do it by hand, then come back and run a second command") is clunky, and the marker dance is mostly there to make that clunky path slightly less annoying. It's also self-admittedly transitional — the comments keep saying _"does not have an adapter **yet**."_ The intent is clearly that as more agents get adapters, this whole manual path (and `review attach` with it) becomes vestigial.
So the mental model is: **if your review agent has an adapter, ignore `review attach` entirely. It only exists to rescue the manual case.**
But we know the session ID of the agents we spawn so we can attribute them to the review request?
1mo ago·15.3s·1 call
Sharp question — and it gets at whether the env-var handshake is even necessary. The answer hinges on _when_ we learn the session ID. Let me check what we actually know at spawn time.
Your premise is the right thing to challenge — but it turns out to be **mostly false for exactly these agents**, and the evidence is right here in `env.go`:
```
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
const (
EnvSession = provenance.ReviewSession // ...
)
// ...
return append(out,
EnvSession+"=1", // ← a boolean flag, NOT a session ID
EnvAgent+"="+agentName,
EnvSkills+"="+skillsJSON,
EnvPrompt+"="+prompt,
EnvStartingSHA+"="+cfg.StartingSHA,
)
```
`ENTIRE_REVIEW_SESSION=1` is a _flag_, not an ID. If we knew the session ID at spawn, that's exactly where it would go. We don't put it there because **we don't have it yet.**
## Why we don't know the ID at spawn
For Claude Code / Codex / Gemini, _the agent mints its own session ID internally._ Entire forks the process, but the agent doesn't hand its session UUID back to us synchronously. We learn the ID only **later**, when the agent's lifecycle hook (e.g. `UserPromptSubmit`) fires — and that hook carries the ID the agent chose.
So the handshake is built the only way it can be:
1. Entire spawns the agent with `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*` env vars riding along.
2. The child process inherits them.
3. When the agent later announces a session via the hook, the hook process _also_ inherited those env vars → it tags **whatever session ID just appeared** as a review.
The env var is essentially a note pinned to the process tree saying _"any session born under here is a review"_ — precisely because we can't name the session in advance. The comment spells this out: each spawned agent inherits its own copy of the env, so multi-agent / multi-worktree attribution holds "by construction" without ever needing the ID up front.
## "Couldn't we correlate it ourselves?"
In principle, yes — we spawned the process, so we know its PID and start time, and the agent eventually drops a transcript file. We _could_ guess "newest session file from that PID after time T." But that's fragile timestamp/PID correlation, and it breaks with concurrent sessions, retries, slow writes, etc.
And notably — **that guessing is exactly what `entire attach` auto-detection already does** as the manual fallback. The env-var handshake is the robust version of the same idea: instead of guessing which session was the review _after the fact_, it lets the session tag _itself_ from inside, at the moment it's created.
## And the adapterless case
For Cursor et al., we don't spawn the process at all — _you_ do, by hand. So we have **neither** channel: no env vars riding the process, and no PID to correlate against. That's the one case left with no automatic attribution, which is the entire reason `review attach` \+ the marker exist.
So the honest summary: for spawned adapter agents it _is_ automatic, just not via a known session ID — via env inheritance, because the ID doesn't exist until the agent decides it does.
Wait, but we do monitor the sessions in which case we need to somehow identify them?
1mo ago·24.7s·3 calls
Good — this is the crux, and I shouldn't guess. Let me check how monitoring actually identifies sessions, because that determines whether your point lands.
Yes — and you've actually put your finger on the precise mechanism. We **do** identify sessions. The question is just _where_ that identification happens, and once you see it, the env-var thing stops looking redundant. Look at how the hook tags a review (`lifecycle.go`, `adoptReviewEnv`):
```
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
func adoptReviewEnv(ctx context.Context, state *session.State, expectedAgent string) {
// state already IS the identified session here
if os.Getenv(review.EnvSession) != "1" { return } // is it a review?
if os.Getenv(review.EnvAgent) != expectedAgent { return } // same agent?
if startingSHA != state.BaseCommit { return } // same base?
state.Kind = session.KindAgentReview // tag it
state.ReviewSkills = skills
state.ReviewPrompt = os.Getenv(review.EnvPrompt)
}
```
## The key: identification happens _in the hook_, not in `entire review`
The session ID comes in through the **hook input JSON** (`hooks.go`: `SessionID string`). The agent tells the hook its session ID. So the process that knows "which session this is" is the **hook** — and the hook is a _grandchild_ of the review command:
```
entire review → spawns agent → agent spawns `entire` hook subprocess
(sets env vars) (knows session ID, reads env vars)
```
So your instinct is exactly right: we identify the session. But we identify it **at the hook**, which is the moment the session announces itself. The env var isn't how we _identify_ the session — it's how the spawn-time fact _"this is a review"_ travels down to the place where identification already happens. The session tags **itself from the inside**, the instant it becomes known.
## Why not let `entire review` do the attribution?
That's the real question, and the answer is: it _could_, but it would have to **match** a freshly-appeared session in shared state back to its own spawn — by agent + time + base SHA. That's the fragile correlation, and the codebase knows it:
- The marker code explicitly warns that _"multiple worktrees in one repo share `.git/entire-sessions/`, so without \[scoping\] any session in any worktree could race to claim the marker."_
- And they literally do fall back to that fuzzy matching — but only as a _last resort_. In `manifest.go`, `matchReviewSessionState` correlates by worktree path → start time → agent → model to build the findings manifest **after** the run. The comments around it flag it as the degraded path.
So the design is: **prefer self-tagging via env inheritance** (impossible to mis-attribute across concurrent agents/worktrees — it rides the process tree), and **fall back to fuzzy correlation** only when that's unavailable.
Notice the three guards in `adoptReviewEnv` — `EnvSession==1` _and_ agent match _and_ SHA match. Even inside the "safe" inheritance model they triple-check, because attribution-by-matching is precisely the thing that goes wrong. Env inheritance lets them avoid matching for the primary path entirely.
## So tying it back to your original complaint
- **Spawned adapter agents:** identified by the hook, tagged from the inside via inherited env. Fully automatic. ✓
- **Adapterless agents (Cursor):** we never spawn them → no env rides along → the hook (if any) has nothing to read → no automatic tag. The session still gets _identified_, it just can't be _attributed to a review_ automatically. That gap is exactly what `review attach` \+ the marker fill, using the same fuzzy-match-ish adoption after the fact.
So you're correct that identity exists. The reason it's not automatic for the manual case isn't that we can't identify the session — it's that we have no trustworthy channel to say _"this identified session was the review"_ without the env inheritance, and the alternative (correlate-and-guess) is the fragile path they deliberately demote to fallback.
It doesn't have to match a freshly spawned session but only whenever the next hook fires since the attach/attribution can and should happen once the session is done generating.
1mo ago·1m
You're right about the timing — and that's worth saying clearly, because it means the env var isn't doing what I implied. Let me concede that part and then show where the proposal breaks.
## You're correct: attribution is already lazy
The env var is _set_ at spawn but _consumed_ lazily — `adoptReviewEnv` runs inside the hook (`UserPromptSubmit`), i.e. once the session exists and is identified. Nothing is attributed at spawn time. So "do it when the hook fires, not at spawn" isn't a change to the timing — that's already how it works. The env var is just a durable label sitting there waiting for whenever the hook eventually fires.
So the _real_ disagreement isn't _when_ — it's **what key we match on**:
- **Today:** process ancestry, encoded as inherited env (`ENTIRE_REVIEW_SESSION=1`).
- **Your proposal:** content — "next session for agent X at base SHA Y."
## Where "match on next hook by agent + SHA" breaks
It can't disambiguate **concurrent or subsequent same-agent sessions**. Concretely:
- You run `entire review` (expecting a claude-code review at HEAD `abc`).
- In another pane/worktree you've also got a normal claude-code _coding_ session going, same repo, same HEAD.
- Both fire hooks as agent `claude-code` with `BaseCommit == abc`.
Your matcher matches **both**. Whichever hook fires first wins — so a plain coding session gets silently mis-tagged as the review, and the actual review is missed. The three guards in `adoptReviewEnv` (session flag + agent + SHA) deliberately _aren't_ enough on their own; the thing that makes it unambiguous is that **only the process born under `entire review` inherited the flag**. That's a property no content-match can reconstruct.
## This is exactly why the marker is _not_ auto-adopted
This isn't hypothetical — it's the documented reason the adapterless path is manual. From `marker_fallback.go`:
> _The marker is NOT auto-adopted by anything — the lifecycle hook reads `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*` env vars on the spawned process, not the marker file._
They _have_ a pending-review record (the marker) and the hook _could_ read it. They chose not to, precisely because "tag the next claude-code session" would mis-fire on any unrelated same-agent session. So they require `entire review attach ` — and the whole point of that command is that **the user supplies the one piece of disambiguating identity the system can't infer: the specific session ID.**
So the answer to your whole thread collapses to this: the manual step isn't there because we can't identify or can't defer. It's there because, for a process we didn't spawn, _only the user knows which of the candidate sessions was the review._
## But — honestly, your instinct points at a real gap
The naive "next hook" auto-adopt is unsafe. A _guarded_ version is not:
- If, at the moment a hook fires, there's a pending marker for that agent+SHA **and exactly one candidate session** in scope → auto-adopt. Fall back to manual `attach` only when it's genuinely ambiguous (≥2 candidates).
That covers the overwhelmingly common solo-developer, one-session-at-a-time case and would make `review attach` unnecessary most of the time — while preserving correctness in the concurrent case. The current design just picks the always-safe-but-always-manual end of that tradeoff, probably because the env path already makes the _spawned_ agents fully automatic, leaving only Cursor-style agents in the cold and not worth a heuristic yet.
That'd be a reasonable thing to actually build. Want me to sketch where it'd hook in (`adoptReviewEnv` is the natural seam — add a marker-based adoption pass after the env pass fails, gated on a single-candidate check)?
1. attaching sessions has to happen automatically as part of this feature. lay out how we can accomplish that
2. entire attach can cover the other part if really needed, it requires to know the id anyway and we can have a flag to mark it "review".
Reply concise and in simple words only!
1mo ago·14.2s
**1\. Make attach automatic**
Reuse what's already there — the marker + the hook seam.
- `entire review` already writes the pending marker (agent, base SHA, skills, prompt, worktree, time). Keep that for _every_ review, not just adapterless ones.
- In the hook, right after the env-var pass fails (`adoptReviewEnv`), add a **marker pass**:
1. Read the pending marker.
2. Does it match this hook's agent + base SHA + worktree?
3. Count candidate sessions that fit. If **exactly one** (this one) → tag it `agent_review`, copy skills/prompt from the marker, clear the marker.
4. If **two or more** match → do nothing, leave the marker. (ambiguous, stay safe)
- Result: spawned agents still self-tag via env (unchanged). Manually-started agents now self-tag too, the moment their hook fires — as long as nothing else is ambiguous.
**2\. Drop `entire review attach`**
Agreed. It earns nothing:
- The user needs the session ID anyway.
- `entire attach --review ` already does the tagging.
- Add one small touch: when `--review` runs, if a pending marker matches, auto-fill skills/prompt from it and clear it (the only useful bit `review attach` had).
So: delete the `review attach` subcommand, fold its marker-fill into `attach --review`, and let the hook handle the common case automatically.
Net effect: most reviews need no attach at all; the rare ambiguous case falls back to `entire attach --review `.
Want me to implement the marker pass in `adoptReviewEnv` and remove the subcommand?
> Result: spawned agents still self-tag via env (unchanged). Manually-started agents now
> self-tag too, the moment their hook fires
What does that mean? What's a mnually-started agent? Isn't everything started "manually" always?
1mo ago·11.5s
Fair, the word is bad. Let me fix it.
There are two ways the agent process gets launched:
1. **Entire launches it.** You type `entire review`, and Entire itself starts claude-code/codex/gemini for you. These get the env vars → self-tag. (already works)
2. **You launch it.** For agents Entire can't drive (e.g. Cursor), `entire review` can't start them. It just prints "open Cursor yourself and paste this prompt." _You_ open the app by hand. No env vars → today it can't self-tag, so you must run `attach` afterward.
By "manually-started" I meant case 2 — _you_ opened the agent, Entire didn't.
You're right that _you_ type `entire review` either way. The difference isn't who runs the command — it's **who starts the actual agent process: Entire, or you.** My fix (the marker pass in the hook) is about making case 2 self-tag too, so you don't have to attach by hand.
Wait wtf... wdym with "you launch it"? The whole point of this conversation is "entire review"...
1mo ago·11.5s
Right, let me be blunt about what `entire review` actually does, because it's not one thing:
- **For claude-code / codex / gemini:**`entire review` really runs the review. It launches the agent, feeds it the prompt, captures the result. Fully automatic. This is the case you're picturing.
- **For Cursor (and similar):**`entire review` **can't run anything.** Entire has no code to drive Cursor. So the command just prints a message like _"Cursor has no review runner yet — open it yourself and paste this prompt"_ and writes the marker. That's it. Nothing actually reviews until you go do it by hand in Cursor.
That second case is what I clumsily called "you launch it." It's still `entire review` — but for those agents the command is basically a glorified "here's your prompt, go paste it" note, not an actual review run.
So:
- `entire review` = automatic **only** for agents that have an adapter.
- For the rest, it's manual, and that's the only reason `attach` exists at all.
Is _that_ the part that wasn't clear — that `entire review` doesn't actually run the review for every agent?
Ok, let's ignore Cursor. What about Pi where we do have the new integration here? [https://github.com/entireio/cli/pull/1313](https://github.com/entireio/cli/pull/1313)
1mo ago·6.7s·4 calls
Checked the code. Here's the real status of Pi:
**Pi is integrated as an agent, but has no review adapter yet.**
- `cmd/entire/cli/agent/pi/pi.go` exists — Pi has hooks, session capture, token counting, transcript parsing. Sessions are identified and monitored, just like Claude.
- **But**`launchableReviewerFor` (review\_bridge.go) only returns a reviewer for claude-code, codex, gemini. For `"pi"` it hits `default: return nil`.
```
1

4

func launchableReviewerFor(agentName string) reviewtypes.AgentReviewer {
switch agentName {
case "claude-code": return claudecode.NewReviewer()
case "codex": return codex.NewReviewer()
case "gemini": return geminicli.NewReviewer()
default: return nil // ← pi lands here
}
}
```
So today `entire review --agent pi` falls into the marker fallback — same dead-end as Cursor.
**The good news:** Pi already has the two things Cursor lacks — it fires hooks and inherits env. So the _only_ missing piece is a `pi.NewReviewer()` that knows how to launch Pi with the review prompt. Add that, wire one `case "pi":` line, and:
- `entire review` launches Pi itself → sets `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*` env → Pi's hook self-tags the session.
- **Fully automatic. No attach, no marker, no second command.**
So for Pi the whole "attach" problem we've been arguing about simply disappears once the adapter exists. Want me to write `pi.NewReviewer()` and wire it into `launchableReviewerFor`?
Ok, so what the fuck is missing now? I only want automatic solutions, no sloppy half assed integration. Let's drop "entire review attach" and provide an option for "entire attach" to mark as a review session.
1mo ago·10.9s·5 calls
Let me find exactly what a reviewer needs and whether Pi can satisfy it (can Pi run headless with a prompt?).
Let me confirm Pi can run headless with streaming output (the one hard requirement for an automatic reviewer).
Pi has headless `-p` mode and a JSON output mode. Let me confirm the streaming JSON format the parser would consume.
Good news: I checked everything. **Nothing fundamental is missing.** Pi already has the three things required for fully automatic review:
1. **Headless mode:**`pi --mode json ""` — runs non-interactive, streams JSON events (agent\_start, message\_update, tool\_execution, agent\_end with token usage).
2. **Hooks:** Pi fires lifecycle hooks → the shared `adoptReviewEnv` already self-tags any agent's session. Agent-agnostic, works for Pi for free.
3. **Env inheritance:** Pi is a child process of whatever spawns it → inherits `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*`.
So no half-assed marker/attach dance is needed for Pi. It can be exactly as automatic as claude-code.
**Also: part 2 is already done.**`entire attach --review ` already exists (with `--skills`). Nothing to add there.
### What's actually left to build
**A. The Pi reviewer adapter** (`cmd/entire/cli/agent/pi/reviewer.go`) — mirror claude's:
- `BuildCmd`: `exec(ctx, "pi", "--mode", "json", prompt)`, add `--model` if set, env = `review.AppendReviewEnv(os.Environ(), "pi", cfg, prompt)`.
- `Parser`: map Pi's JSON lines → review Events:
- `agent_start` → `Started`
- `message_end` / text deltas → `AssistantText`
- `tool_execution_start` → `ToolCall`
- `agent_end` → sum `usage` → `Tokens`, then `Finished{Success:true}`
- scanner error → `RunError` \+ `Finished{false}`
**B. Wire it in** (`review_bridge.go`), one line:
```
1
2
case string(agent.AgentNamePi):
return pi.NewReviewer()
```
**C. Drop `entire review attach`:** remove `newReviewAttachCmd`, its marker bridge, and the `AttachCmd` wiring. Keep `entire attach --review` as the only manual fallback.
That's the whole job. Result: `entire review --agent pi` launches Pi, it self-tags, no attach ever needed.
Want me to implement A, B, and C now?
A, B and C! Also, what does --skills do on attach?
1mo ago·10.4s·43 calls
Let me gather what I need to implement correctly — the ReviewerTemplate, event types, and Pi's content shape.
Let me read the exact Event types and Pi's content parsing to map them correctly.
Let me verify Pi's `--model` flag and the content block shape before writing.
Confirmed: `pi --mode json ""` with `--model `. I have everything.
**First, your question — what `--skills` does on `entire attach`:**
It's **declarative metadata only**. It records _which review skills you claim were run_ in that session, stored as `state.ReviewSkills`. From `attach.go`:
```
1
2
cmd.Flags().StringSliceVar(&skillsFlag, "skills", nil,
"Optional: declare which review skills were run in this session. Only used with --review")
```
Key points (from `resolveReviewSkills`):
- Only meaningful **with `--review`**.
- It does **not** run or verify anything — it's a label you assert after the fact.
- It deliberately ignores your configured profile skills, because "what I'd run" ≠ "what actually ran." Lying would misrepresent the session.
- Empty is fine — the session is still tagged a review via `Kind` \+ the recorded prompt. Skills are just a queryable convenience.
So: `--review` = "this was a review"; `--skills` = "...and these specific review skills were used."
Now let me implement A, B, C.
Now **B** — wire it into `launchableReviewerFor`:
Now **C** — drop `entire review attach`. Let me find all its wiring.
I'll fold the marker auto-fill into `entire attach --review` (the only unique behavior `review attach` had), then remove the subcommand. Let me read attach.go's RunE.
Now I'll fold the marker logic into `entire attach`'s RunE and remove the `review attach` wiring. Editing `attach.go`:
Now add the `cliReview` import to attach.go and trim `review_helpers.go` to just the marker helper:
Now remove the `AttachCmd` plumbing from `review_bridge.go`, `root.go`, and `review/cmd.go`:
Now remove the `AttachCmd` field and its registration in `review/cmd.go`:
Let me build and see what breaks.
Builds clean. Now let me check the test files that referenced the removed wiring:
These tests exercise the removed `review attach` subcommand. Let me migrate them to `entire attach --review`. Let me read them all.
This file only tests the removed subcommand. Deleting it (the `attach --review` flag coverage lives in `attach_test.go`):
These two tests verify the marker-adoption and skills behaviors I folded into `attach --review`. Migrate their args:
Let me check for any remaining references and run the affected tests.
Let me update the now-stale doc comments referencing the removed subcommand:
Now let me run the relevant tests (reviewer parser, attach, review):
All passing. Now let me add a test for the Pi reviewer parser to lock in the behavior (no half-assed integration), and verify it against a realistic Pi JSON stream:
Now I'll write the Pi reviewer test mirroring the claude one, covering name, env, argv, model, and parser behavior:
Let me run gofmt, vet, and the broader review/cli test suite to confirm nothing else regressed:
Let me run the integration review test to confirm the migrated `attach --review` path works end-to-end:
All green. Done — A, B, and C are implemented and tested.
## Summary
**A. Pi reviewer adapter** — `cmd/entire/cli/agent/pi/reviewer.go`
- `NewReviewer()` builds `pi --mode json [--model …]`, attaching `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*` env via `AppendReviewEnv`.
- Parser maps Pi's JSON event stream → review events: `agent_start`→Started, assistant `message_end`→AssistantText, `tool_execution_start`→ToolCall, summed usage→Tokens, `agent_end`→Finished{true}. Handles array or string content, torn streams, and non-assistant messages.
- Full test coverage in `reviewer_test.go` (name/registry lock, env, argv±model, stream parsing, failure & edge cases).
**B. Wired in** — `review_bridge.go`: added `case "pi": return pi.NewReviewer()`. Now `entire review --agent pi` launches Pi, which **self-tags via the existing hook + env path — no marker, no attach.**
**C. Dropped `entire review attach`**
- Removed the subcommand, `Deps.AttachCmd`, and all its wiring (`root.go`, `review_bridge.go`, `review/cmd.go`, `review_helpers.go`).
- Folded its one unique behavior (consuming a pending-review marker: auto-fill agent/skills/prompt, then clear it) into **`entire attach --review`**, which already existed.
- Migrated/removed the tests that drove the old subcommand; updated stale doc comments.
**Re: your `--skills` question** — it's declarative metadata only (`state.ReviewSkills`): asserts _which_ review skills were run, valid only with `--review`, runs/verifies nothing.
Net result: for Pi (and claude/codex/gemini) review is fully automatic. `entire attach --review ` is the only manual fallback, and it's needed solely for agents Entire can't launch itself (e.g. Cursor).
Everything builds, `gofmt`/`go vet` clean, unit + integration tests pass.
Would --skills not be in the session anyway and also get parsed into metadata automatically?
1mo ago·9.2s·4 calls
Good question — let me check whether skills are already extracted from the transcript automatically.
This is the key distinction. There are **two separate fields** — let me confirm how attach populates them.
Sharp catch. There are actually **two different skill fields**, and they behave differently:
1. **`state.SkillEvents`** — evidence-based, **auto-extracted from the transcript** (slash-commands, skill tool-use). But it's only populated by the **live hook path** (`lifecycle.go:1130`). And only some agents implement the extractor — today just claude-code.
2. **`state.ReviewSkills`** — what `--skills` sets. It's a **declared snapshot** ("this review covers these skills"), not derived from the transcript.
So to your question, split by path:
- **Automatic review (spawned agents incl. Pi):** yes — `ReviewSkills` is already filled in for you. It comes from the profile config through the env handshake (`EnvSkills`). `--skills` is irrelevant there; you never touch it.
- **`entire attach --review`:** no — and this is the gap. Attach currently:
- does **not** auto-derive `ReviewSkills`, and
- does **not** run skill-event extraction either.
So `--skills` is the _only_ source of skill info on attach today. That's exactly why the flag exists.
**But your instinct is right:** attach _has_ the transcript, and claude-code _has_ an extractor. We could run `ExtractSkillEvents` on attach, take the distinct skill names, and default `ReviewSkills` from them — turning `--skills` into an _override_ instead of the sole source. Evidence-based, fully automatic.
Caveat: only works for agents with an extractor (claude-code now; Pi/codex/gemini would need one), so `--skills` stays as the manual fallback for the rest.
Want me to wire that auto-derivation into `attach --review` (default skills from extracted SkillEvents, `--skills` overrides)?
"today just claude-code" this is not true, it's a specific claude, pi and generic implementation of identifiying skills?
1mo ago·7.7s·2 calls
Let me verify properly — I may have grepped too narrowly.
You're right — I was wrong. Skill identification isn't claude-only. There are **three** mechanisms:
1. **Claude Code — transcript extraction.**`ClaudeCodeAgent.ExtractSkillEvents` (implements the `SkillEventExtractor` interface). Parses the transcript _after the fact_ to find skill tool-use.
2. **Pi — live hook payload.**`pi/lifecycle.go` — Pi's hook reports `skill_events` directly in its payload (`piSkillEventInput` → `piSkillEvents`). Skills come in live, not by re-parsing a transcript.
3. **Generic pipeline.** Any agent's `event.SkillEvents` flow into `state.SkillEvents` via `appendEventSkillEventsToState`, plus the `skilldiscovery` package (keyword matcher: review/audit/inspect/…) that the review picker uses to find review-adjacent skills.
So skill capture is general — claude, pi, and a shared pipeline. My mistake.
**But one important nuance for the attach question:** those two agent-specific paths capture skills differently —
- Claude: from the **transcript** → usable at `attach` time (you only have the transcript on disk).
- Pi: from the **live hook payload** → _not_ re-derivable at attach time, because Pi doesn't implement `SkillEventExtractor` (only claude does).
So for auto-deriving `ReviewSkills` on `attach --review`:
- **claude-code:** works now (transcript extractor exists).
- **pi:** would need a transcript-based `ExtractSkillEvents` (its JSONL does record slash-command/skill invocations, so it's doable — just not implemented).
- **others:** fall back to `--skills`.
So the corrected picture: skills _are_ identified across agents during live runs; the gap is specifically **transcript-time re-extraction for attach**, which only claude has today. Want me to (a) wire claude's auto-derive into `attach --review` now, and (b) add a Pi transcript `ExtractSkillEvents` so Pi gets it too?
Commit and push the changes. Then adjust the Pi integration to support invoked skills too but double check if that's not already the case.
1mo ago·4.4s·11 calls
I'll commit and push the current changes first, then investigate Pi's skill extraction.
Committed. Now let me push.
Pushed successfully. Now let me investigate Pi's skill handling — first confirm the current state precisely.
Now the picture is clear:
- **Live `entire review --agent pi`:** skills **are** captured (hook payload → `piSkillEvents` → `state.SkillEvents`). ✓
- **Transcript/attach-time:** Pi does **not** implement `SkillEventExtractor`, so invoked skills can't be re-derived from a saved transcript. ✗
Let me understand how skill invocations appear in Pi's transcript so I can implement extraction. Let me look at claude's extractor as the model and Pi's transcript format.
Let me check how skill invocations actually appear in a Pi transcript — looking for test fixtures.
Let me check how skill invocations are recorded in the transcript vs. only in the live hook, by examining the embedded Pi extension and session format.

Create a separate PR for that. Then come back to this one.
1mo ago·11.8s·21 calls
Let me check the working tree state and how I should branch for the separate PR.
Clean tree, `gh` available. Let me create a separate branch from `origin/main` for the Pi skills work.
Now on a clean branch from main. Let me understand how skill invocations are recorded in the Pi transcript by examining the extension that produces `skill_events`.
The extension detects skills via regex `^/skill:name` on raw **input** text. The critical question: does the transcript preserve that literal `/skill:name`, or only the expanded content? Let me determine this from the session format and fixtures.
Let me verify empirically whether Pi stores the literal `/skill:` in the transcript by checking pi's own source for how skill commands are recorded.
Definitive finding. When a user runs `/skill:name`, Pi's `_expandSkillCommand` **replaces** the literal with an expanded block before storing the user message:
```
References are relative to ...
```
So the literal `/skill:name` is **gone** from the transcript — but the expansion leaves an explicit, structured `` marker. That's the transcript signal to extract on. Let me check who calls the generic extractor, to avoid duplicating the live-captured events.
There's already an `AppendPromptSlashCommandSkillEvent` at lifecycle.go:463 and a `mergeSkillEvents` dedup. Let me examine both — this may already cover Pi.
Big finding — there's already generic slash-command skill detection (`SkillEventFromPromptSlashCommand`) that even normalizes Pi's `/skill:`. But it runs on the **prompt**, which for Pi is the _expanded_ text (``), not `/skill:name`. Let me confirm the dedup paths and whether the generic path helps at transcript time.
This is genuinely intricate — there's a real duplicate-vs-native risk through `mergeSkillEvents` (keyed by ts-based ID). Let me check what the native Pi event's ID scheme is depended on, so I can design dedup-safe extraction.
The native Pi event uses a timestamp-based ID for cross-turn uniqueness, which won't match a transcript-derived event — so duplicates would appear in live runs through `mergeSkillEvents`. The robust fix is semantic dedup (empty ID → composite key including TurnID). Let me check nothing depends on the `pi-skill-` ID format.
The grep exit was just "no matches" on the last one. Two important findings:
1. Nothing depends on the `pi-skill-` ID format (only a synthetic fixture).
2. **`attach.go` never calls `ExtractSkillEvents`** — attach doesn't populate skill events for _any_ agent.
This reframes everything. Let me confirm the architecture: does claude-code use live hook capture too, or _only_ transcript extraction? That determines whether Pi adding an extractor would duplicate.
I went deep before writing any code — and the "double check" paid off. **Pi already supports invoked skills.** Adding a transcript extractor would actually be _harmful_, not just redundant. Here's the evidence:
## The two models
The codebase uses **one skill-capture model per agent**, not both:
| Agent | Model | Mechanism |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **claude-code** | transcript extraction | `ExtractSkillEvents` parses `Skill` tool-use at condensation. Does **not** emit live skill events. |
| **pi** | live capture | extension `input` handler → `parseSkillInvocation(/skill:name)` → `skill_events` in the hook → `state.SkillEvents`. |
So Pi already captures every `/skill:name` invocation in **all live sessions, including `entire review --agent pi`** — via the hook path (`piSkillEvents`), confirmed by `TestParseHookEvent_BeforeAgentStart_WithSkillEvent`.
## Why I should NOT add a Pi transcript extractor
1. **The literal is gone from the transcript.** Pi's `_expandSkillCommand` rewrites `/skill:name` into a `…` block before storing the user message. The only durable signal is that expansion block.
2. **It would duplicate.** At condensation, `agent.ExtractSkillEvents` is **merged** with the live `state.SkillEvents` via `mergeSkillEvents`. Pi already has the native event there. A transcript-derived event can't dedup against it cleanly:
- Native IDs are timestamp-based (per-invocation) — unreproducible from the transcript.
- Falling back to the composite key fails too: the extractor runs in the _current_ turn and stamps **all** extracted events with the current `TurnID`, while native events carry their _original_`TurnID`. Skills from earlier turns → mismatched keys → **duplicate skill events in checkpoint metadata.**
3. **`attach` calls neither path** — for _any_ agent. So the attach-time gap I mentioned earlier isn't Pi-specific; it's the same for claude. Nothing to fix in Pi for that.
## So: nothing to implement here
The honest conclusion is that this separate PR shouldn't add an extractor. The branch `pi-invoked-skills-extraction` is currently empty (clean off `main`).
What _would_ be genuinely valuable and safe:
- A **regression test** locking Pi's live skill-capture for the review flow (guards the "already works" guarantee), and
- A short **comment** on `launchableReviewerFor`/`piSkillEvents` noting Pi uses live-capture so no future dev adds a duplicating transcript extractor.
Want me to make _that_ the PR? Or, if you'd still like transcript extraction (e.g. for a future attach-side backfill), I can do it properly — but it requires reworking skill-event dedup to be identity-stable across the live/transcript boundary, which is a bigger change than it looks.
Yes
1mo ago·23.6s·13 calls
I'll make that the PR. Note this branch is off `main`, so the Pi reviewer (the review flow) lives on the _other_ branch — here I'll lock the **live-capture mechanism** and the **architectural decision** (Pi is intentionally not a transcript extractor), with a guard comment. Let me confirm the capability helper.
Now let me add the guard comment to `piSkillEvents` and the architectural regression test.
Now the regression test locking both the live-capture guarantee and the no-transcript-extractor decision:
Tests pass, gofmt clean. Let me commit and push, then open the PR.
The apostrophes broke the heredoc. Let me write the body to a file.

Done. Summary:
## Separate PR (Pi invoked-skills) — opened
**[PR #1383](https://github.com/entireio/cli/pull/1383)** on branch `pi-invoked-skills-extraction` (off `main`).
After deep investigation, the honest outcome: **Pi already captures invoked skills** via its live-capture model, and adding a transcript extractor would double-count at condensation. So the PR documents and guards that decision rather than implementing a harmful extractor:
- Guard comment on `piSkillEvents`.
- `TestPiAgent_UsesLiveSkillCaptureNotTranscriptExtraction` — fails if someone makes `PiAgent` a `SkillEventExtractor`.
- `TestParseHookEvent_BeforeAgentStart_MultipleSkillEvents` — locks multi-invocation live capture.
No behavior change; tests + docs only. Build/gofmt/tests green.

# `entire review` — full reference
## Flags
| Flag | Arg | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--profile` | NAME | Profile to run (also accepted positionally: `entire review NAME`) |
| `--base` | REF | Scope against REF instead of mainline (default: `origin/HEAD` → `origin/main` → `origin/master` → `main` → `master`) |
| `--prompt` | TEXT | One-off instructions appended to this run |
| `--agent` | NAME | Run only one worker from the profile |
| `--model` | NAME | Override model for `--agent` worker ( **requires `--agent`**) |
| `--configure` | – | Set up a profile (wizard, or scripted with `--set-*`) |
| `--set-agents` | a,b,c | (with `--configure`) worker agents |
| `--set-master` | NAME | (with `--configure`) master agent |
| `--set-task` | TEXT | (with `--configure`) profile task text |
| `--set-model` | agent=model | (with `--configure`) per-worker model, repeatable |
| `--edit` | – | Advanced per-agent skill picker |
| `--findings` | – | Browse local review findings |
| `--agents` | – | List worker agents valid for `--agent` |
| `--models` | – | List models each review agent advertises (optionally `--agent NAME`) |
**Rules:**`--configure`/`--edit`/`--findings` are mutually exclusive · `--model` requires `--agent` · profile via positional **or**`--profile`, not both · at most one positional arg · command is `Hidden` (works, but not in `entire help`).
## Decision flow (RunE)
```
1. DiscoverAndRegister external agents
2. --models? → list models, exit
3. --agents? → list profile workers, exit
4. mutually-exclusive guard (configure/edit/findings)
5. --model without --agent? → error
6. --configure? → scripted (--set-*) or wizard, exit
7. --edit? → advanced skill picker, exit
8. --findings? → findings browser, exit
9. otherwise → runReview:
a. not a git repo? → "run `entire enable`"
b. settings load error? → surface, exit
c. NO usable profile? → first-run setup (interactive wizard, or
non-interactive default profile)
d. select profile
e. --agent set? → single-agent path
f. else count eligible installed workers:
0 → error
1 → single-agent path
≥2 → multi-agent fan-out (requires a master)
```
## Use cases
| Command | Result |
| --- | --- |
| `entire review` | Run default profile against branch (or first-run setup if none) |
| `entire review security` | Run the `security` profile |
| `entire review --base origin/feat` | Scope vs a parent branch (stacked PRs) |
| `entire review --prompt "focus on auth"` | Append one-off instructions |
| `entire review --agent codex` | Run only the codex worker |
| `entire review --agent codex --model gpt-5` | …with a model override |
| `entire review --agents` | List workers you can pass to `--agent` |
| `entire review --models --agent pi` | List Pi's advertised models |
| `entire review --configure` | Wizard (interactive) / discovery view (non-TTY) |
| `entire review --configure --set-agents claude-code,codex --set-master claude-code` | Scripted profile write |
| `entire review --edit` | Advanced skill-level picker |
| `entire review --findings` | Browse persisted findings |
Single worker → runs that agent. Multiple workers → fan-out: all run concurrently, then the **master** synthesizes the final report.

## Interactive flow & menu output
### A. First run (no profile yet) — `entire review`
```
No review profiles found — let's set one up first.
You'll choose a review type and worker agents. They're saved to
local review preferences; configure later with `entire review --configure`.
After setup, you can start the review immediately.
? Set up review now? [Yes] / Cancel
```
**Step 1 — review type:**
```
? What kind of review?
> General — correctness, regressions, tests
Security — auth, injection, secrets
Accessibility — keyboard, screen readers, contrast
```
**Step 2 — worker agents** (only if >1 launchable agent installed):
```
? Which agents should review?
All are selected by default. Space toggles, enter confirms.
[x] claude-code
[x] codex
[x] pi
```
**Step 3 — models?:**
```
? Choose models?
Optional. Leave this off to use each agent's default model.
[Choose models] / Use defaults
```
If "Choose models", per worker:
```
? Model for codex
Pick a model, Default, or Custom… to type any value.
> Default (agent's own default model)
gpt-5
o3
Custom… (type any value)
```
Then optionally **model variants** (run same agent twice w/ different models):
```
? Add another model variant?
Use this to run the same agent more than once with different models.
[Add variant] / Done
```
**Step 4 — master** (only if >1 worker):
```
? Choose review master
The master critically evaluates worker reports and writes the final report.
> claude-code
codex
```
**Saved + confirm:**
```
Saved "general" review profile with claude-code, codex, pi.
? Start review now? [Start review] / Not now
```
### B. Configure without running — `entire review --configure`
Same wizard as above, but ends with:
```
Review profile "general" saved. Run `entire review`, or `entire review general`, to start.
```
Non-interactive (no TTY) prints the discovery catalog instead:
```
Available review agents:
claude-code hooks installed
codex not installed — run `entire configure --agent codex`
Configured profiles:
general (default): claude-code master=claude-code
Configure "general" non-interactively, e.g.:
entire review --configure --profile general --set-agents claude-code --set-master
```
### C. Advanced edit — `entire review --edit`
Per installed agent, multi-select menus:
```
? Built-in commands (e.g. /review, /security-review)
? Installed plugin skills (e.g. /pr-review-toolkit:review-pr)
? Install more (links/hints to add skills)
? Additional instructions (optional)
```
### D. Re-review guard (HEAD already reviewed)
```
? Already reviewed: . Proceed anyway? Yes / No
```
(Non-interactive: prints a note and proceeds.)
### E. The run itself
Before agents start, a scope banner:
```
Reviewing my-branch vs origin/main: 4 commits, 12 files changed, 2 uncommitted
```
- **TTY:** live TUI dashboard (per-agent progress), then narrative dump, then — for fan-out — the master's synthesized final report.
- **Non-TTY (CI / agent host):**`Running review with ...` \+ narrative dump (+ auto-synthesis for fan-out). No TUI.
Afterward, findings are persisted (footer points to `entire review --findings`); if persistence fails you get a "findings were not persisted" note.

Note: `entire review attach` no longer exists — manual tagging is `entire attach --review ` (which auto-consumes any pending-review marker).
Merge latest main
1mo ago·6.7s·19 calls
I'll merge the latest `main` into the current `review-profiles` branch.
Note: PR #1383 (Pi skills work) is already merged into main. Let me merge main in.
A fast-forward is unexpected — that implies my `review-profiles` commits weren't on this branch. Let me verify my work is intact.
My work got bypassed — the local `review-profiles` was at `bfb5baca5`, not my commit `1d8ceda2d`, so the merge fast-forwarded over it. My commit still exists. Let me investigate before doing anything destructive.
Conflicting signals — `origin/review-profiles` correctly has my commit `1d8ceda2d`. Let me get ground truth on the current state.
Found it — **I'm on the wrong branch.** HEAD is on `feat/trail-review-cli` (someone else's merged branch), not `review-profiles`. My earlier `git switch review-profiles` evidently didn't stick (the repo HEAD has been moving due to other activity in this checkout).
Good news: `review-profiles` and `origin/review-profiles` both correctly point at my commit `1d8ceda2d`. My accidental fast-forward only moved the local `feat/trail-review-cli` branch (not pushed, harmless). Let me switch to the right branch and merge there.
Now correctly on `review-profiles` with my work intact. Let me merge `origin/main`.
Just an import-ordering conflict — I keep my added `paths` \+ `cliReview` imports:
`paths` is no longer used in attach.go (main removed its usage); `cliReview` is used. Remove the stale `paths` import:
Build passes. Let me run the affected tests, then commit the merge.
All green. Let me stage the resolved file and commit the merge.
Merge committed. Let me verify everything is intact and push.
Done. `origin/main` is merged into `review-profiles` and pushed.
## What happened
- ⚠️ Caught a problem first: HEAD was actually on `feat/trail-review-cli` (the checkout had drifted to another branch from external activity), so my first `git merge` accidentally fast-forwarded _that_ branch. No harm — it wasn't pushed, and your work was safe on `review-profiles`/`origin/review-profiles`.
- Switched to the correct `review-profiles` branch and merged `origin/main` (19 commits) there.
## Merge resolution
- One conflict, in `cmd/entire/cli/attach.go` — just import ordering. Kept the `cliReview` import (used by the marker-fill logic), and dropped `paths` since main removed its usage there.
## Verified
- Build passes, `gofmt` clean.
- Tests green: `cli`, `agent/pi`, `review`.
- My work intact: `pi/reviewer.go` present, Pi wired into `launchableReviewerFor`, `entire review attach` still removed.
- `origin/main` fully merged.
Merge commit `6b6b776e1` pushed to `origin/review-profiles`.

Good idea — it maps better to the actual data model ("a worker = agent + model") than the current 4-step flow. Let me ground my assessment in the real code constraints before saying it's easy.
This is a genuine improvement, and importantly it **matches the data model you already have**. Today a worker is keyed by agent+model: `profile.Agents[workerName]` where `workerName = workerIDForAgentModel(agent, model, …)`, so the same agent on two models is already two workers. Your mock is just a faithful UI for that — checking two models under Claude Code = two `claude-code` workers. No model changes needed.
It also collapses the current **4 steps** — "Which agents?" → "Choose models?" (y/n) → per-agent model picker → "Add another variant?" loop — into **one screen**. The variant loop especially is awkward today; your design makes multi-model obvious (just check two boxes).
## Feasibility — two tiers
**Tier 1 — native `huh`, ~90% of the mock (easy, recommended first):**
One `huh.Group` containing **one `MultiSelect` per agent**, stacked on a single screen with the agent name as each field's title:
```
Claude Code
[x] sonnet — latest Claude Sonnet · default
[ ] opus — latest Claude Opus
Codex
[x] gpt-5-codex — default
```
Pre-check defaults via `.Selected(true)`. This is straightforward and accessible-mode works for free.
**Tier 2 — exact mock (custom bubbletea component):**
A single flowing list with non-selectable group headers, one cursor crossing groups, and the live `5 worker(s) selected` footer. `huh` MultiSelect can't do non-selectable header rows or a cross-field computed counter, so this needs a custom component (like the review TUI sink) **plus** its own accessible fallback. Noticeably more code.
## Edge cases either tier must handle
- **`custom…`** can't collect text inside a multiselect → a short follow-up `Input` per agent that has custom checked (still far fewer screens than today).
- **Agents with no advertised models** (`ListModels` empty) → show only `custom…` (\+ optional `default`). Need to fetch model lists up front for all candidate agents.
- **`default` semantics:** today "Default" stores `""` (track the agent's own default); your mock pre-checks an explicit id like `sonnet`. Either keep a `default` pseudo-row that stores `""`, or accept storing explicit ids (clearer, minor behavior shift).
- **Master step** still follows when ≥2 workers (mock doesn't show it).
- **Validation:** ≥1 worker total; zero models under an agent = that agent isn't a worker (this is what replaces the separate agent-select step).
## My take
Worth doing. I'd ship **Tier 1** first — it captures the entire UX win (combined agent+model, multi-model via checkboxes, one screen) with native components and low risk, replacing `promptForSimpleReviewAgents` \+ `promptForSimpleReviewModels` \+ the variant loop. Tier 2 is a polish pass if the exact single-list/live-counter look matters.

Let's do tier 1
1mo ago·16.4s·19 calls
Let me read the full set of functions I'll be replacing and the helpers I'll reuse.
Now let me check `ModelInfo` fields and what references the functions I'll replace.
`ModelInfo` has no default flag, so I'll pre-check a "Default" pseudo-entry (stores `""`) — clean and matches current semantics. Let me check tests referencing the functions I'll remove.
No test references — clean to remove the three replaced functions. One concern surfaced: `defaultReviewAgentConfig` returns a **zero** config for Pi (and anything outside claude/codex/gemini). Let me check `ReviewConfig` / `IsZero` and `defaultReviewMaster` to handle Pi correctly.
`IsZero()` is false when `Agent` is set — so setting `cfg.Agent` makes every worker valid, **including Pi** (whose default config is empty skills). That also fixes a latent gap where guided setup silently skipped Pi. Let me read the exact region to replace.
`modelInList` is used by a test, so I'll keep it; `agentNamesToTypes` and `promptForModelChoice` become dead and must go (lint). Let me read their exact text for clean removal.
I have the full picture. Now making the edits — replacing the agent-select + "choose models?" + variant loop with a single combined crew picker.
Now replace the two old functions with the combined crew picker:
Build passes. Let me run gofmt, vet, and the review/cli tests.
Let me run the linter to confirm no `unused` issues (e.g. `modelInList` now only used by a test).
0 lint issues. Let me run the broader CLI tests then commit.
Done — Tier 1 implemented and pushed to `review-profiles`.
## What changed
Replaced the 4-step guided flow with a single **"Build the review crew"** screen — one multiselect per launchable agent, listing its models plus **Default** and **Custom…**:
```
Build the review crew
Each worker is an agent + model. Check more than one model to run the same
agent on different models. Space toggles, enter confirms.
claude-code
[x] Default (agent's own default model)
[ ] sonnet — alias
[ ] opus — alias
[ ] Custom… (type any value)
codex
[x] Default (agent's own default model)
[ ] gpt-5-codex
[ ] Custom…
pi
[x] Default (agent's own default model)
[ ] Custom…
```
- **Multi-model = multi-worker** is now native (check two boxes), replacing the hidden "Add another variant?" loop.
- **Default pre-checked** → pressing Enter gives one worker per agent on its default model.
- **Custom…** triggers a short follow-up text input per agent.
## Code
- Added `promptForReviewCrew` \+ `resolveCrewModel`; removed `promptForSimpleReviewAgents`, `promptForSimpleReviewModels`, `promptForModelChoice`, `agentNamesToTypes` (net **−72 lines**).
- Workers always set `cfg.Agent`, which (since `IsZero()` is false once `Agent` is set) **fixes a latent gap**: prompt/model-only agents like **Pi** are now selectable in guided setup — they were previously silently skipped because their default config is empty.
- Master selection still follows when ≥2 workers; the advanced `--edit` picker is untouched.
## Verified
Build, `gofmt`, `go vet`, `golangci-lint` (0 issues), and `cli` \+ `review` tests all pass. Commit `7382fdb42` pushed.
One note: the interactive crew function itself isn't unit-tested (huh forms can't run headless — same as the functions it replaced). The worker-keying/dedup primitives it relies on (`workerIDForAgentModel`, `defaultReviewAgentConfig`) are already covered. If you want, I can extract the selection→profile mapping into a pure helper and add a focused test.

We need to be able to define the number of agent slots and not "the particular agent" as part of the configuartion. I could enable 5 Claudes with different models.
1mo ago·1m
Good — this is a real modeling question. Let me separate what already works from what doesn't.
## The data model already supports it
`profile.Agents` is `map[workerKey]ReviewConfig`, keyed by an **arbitrary worker name**, not by agent. Each worker = `{Agent, Model, Skills, Prompt}`, and `workerIDForAgentModel` already disambiguates collisions (`claude-code:opus`, `claude-code-2`, …). So "5 Claudes with different models" — or even 5 identical ones — is fully representable in settings today. The name `Agents` is misleading; it's really a **list of worker slots**.
So the gap isn't the storage — it's the two **configuration surfaces** that are still agent-keyed:
1. **The crew picker (Tier 1)** — it's organized as "per agent, check models," and dedupes by model. So you _can_ make 5 Claude workers (check 5 models), but: you can't have two slots with the _same_ model, you're limited to advertised models unless you use Custom, and the mental model is "models per agent," not "N slots."
2. **The scripted path** (`--set-agents a,b,c`) — builds a map keyed by agent name, so `--set-agents claude-code,claude-code` collapses to one. No way to express repeats.
## Proposed reframe: slots
Make both surfaces slot-first.
**Picker** — replace the model grid with a slot list:
```
Review crew — 3 slot(s)
Slot 1 Claude Code · opus
Slot 2 Claude Code · sonnet
Slot 3 Codex · gpt-5-codex
> + Add slot
✓ Done
```
Each slot: pick agent → pick model (list/Default/Custom). Add/remove freely. This directly expresses "define N slots," allows any number of same-agent slots, and drops the dependence on advertised model counts.
**Scripted** — add a repeatable slot flag:
```
entire review --configure \
--set-slot claude-code=opus \
--set-slot claude-code=sonnet \
--set-slot claude-code=haiku \
--set-master claude-code=opus
```
`--set-slot agent[=model]`, repeatable. Keep `--set-agents` as a shorthand (one default-model slot per agent).
## One thing to confirm before I rip out Tier 1
Do you actually need **duplicate identical slots** (same agent _and_ model, e.g. two `claude-code:sonnet` for ensemble/voting), or only **multiple-same-agent-different-model** (which Tier 1 nearly does already)?
- If only different-model: I can keep Tier 1's grid and just lift the model-dedup + add the scripted `--set-slot` — smaller change.
- If you want true arbitrary slots (incl. duplicates): the slot-list picker above is the right model and I'd replace Tier 1's grid with it.
Which one — and should master selection also become slot-targeted (pick the slot that writes the final report)?
Same agent/model should also work.
1mo ago·2m·9 calls
Got it — true arbitrary slots, duplicates included. I'll replace Tier 1's grid with a slot-list picker and add a scripted `--set-slot`. Let me first check the existing config tests so I don't break the scripted path's contract.
Crucial constraint from `TestBuildConfiguredProfile_FromFlags`: `--set-agents` must keep worker keys equal to the agent name (so `--set-model claude-code=opus` lands on key `claude-code`). I'll keep that path intact and add `--set-slot` alongside. Now the picker — replacing the grid with a slot list:
Now the scripted `--set-slot` flag. Let me read the relevant `cmd.go` regions.
Now wire `--set-slot` into `cmd.go`:
Now let me add a test for the scripted `--set-slot` path (duplicates included), then run lint + tests.
All green, lint clean. Let me run the broader CLI tests, then commit and push.
Done — review crew is now slot-based, supporting arbitrary workers including duplicate agent+model. Pushed to `review-profiles` (commit `1481e83c2`).
## What changed
A **slot = agent + model**, and you can have any number — including the same agent repeated on different _or identical_ models.
**Interactive picker** — replaced the per-agent model grid with a slot list:
```
Build the review crew
Each slot is one worker: an agent + model. Add as many as you like —
including the same agent more than once, on different or identical models.
? Review crew
1. claude-code · opus
2. claude-code · sonnet
3. claude-code · default model
4. codex · gpt-5-codex
> Add a slot
Remove a slot
Done — 4 slot(s)
```
Seeded with one default-model slot per launchable agent (so Enter-through = today's baseline), then add/remove freely. Each "Add" = pick agent → pick model (Default / advertised / Custom…).
**Scripted** — new repeatable flag:
```
1
2
3
4
5
entire review --configure \
--set-slot claude-code=opus \
--set-slot claude-code=sonnet \
--set-slot claude-code \
--set-slot claude-code # duplicate default slot — allowed
```
`--set-agents` stays as the one-default-slot-per-agent shorthand (preserves `--set-model` targeting). Duplicates become distinct workers via `workerIDForAgentModel` (`claude-code`, `claude-code-2`, `claude-code:opus`, …).
## Why this works cleanly
The storage layer already modeled workers as an arbitrary-keyed map, so no settings/schema change was needed — only the two agent-keyed config surfaces. Master selection was already worker/slot-based.
## Verified
- Build, `gofmt`, `go vet`, `golangci-lint` (0 issues).
- New test `TestBuildConfiguredProfile_FromSlots_AllowsDuplicateAgents` (4 workers: opus, sonnet, +2 identical defaults).
- Existing `--set-agents`/`--set-model` test still passes; full `review` \+ `cli` suites green.
One caveat worth flagging: when you create duplicate slots for the same agent, `--set-model agent=model` becomes ambiguous (it errors, listing the workers) — by design, since `--set-slot` carries the model inline. The interactive slot picker itself isn't unit-tested (huh forms can't run headless, same as before); the slot→profile mapping (`buildCrewProfile` / `workerIDForAgentModel`) is covered via the scripted path test.

Agreed — the Add/Remove/Done menu is clunky. Let me make it linear: configure the first slot, then keep asking "add another?". Let me read the current crew functions to replace them precisely.
Now let me apply the linear flow. Three edits: rewrite `promptForReviewCrew` (\+ drop the action consts), replace `promptCrewAction`/`crewSummary` with `promptAddAnotherSlot`, and remove `promptCrewRemove`.
Now remove the now-unused `promptCrewRemove`:
All clean. Let me commit and push.
Done — the crew picker is now linear. Pushed to `review-profiles` (commit `ef60a7a67`, net −65 lines).
## New flow
```
Build the review crew
Add one worker at a time — each is an agent + model. You can add the same
agent more than once, on different or identical models.
? Add a slot — which agent? (skipped if only one agent)

> Default (agent's own default model)
sonnet — alias
opus — alias
Custom… (type any value)

? Add another worker? Add another / [Done]
```
Choosing "Add another" loops back to agent → model; "Done" finishes. The first slot is mandatory so the crew is never empty, and you can add the same agent repeatedly for duplicates.
## Tradeoff
I **dropped slot removal** (the old Remove action). The linear flow has no natural place for it, and you get a confirmation line per add (`Added … (N in crew)`). To fix a mistake, re-run `entire review --configure`. If you'd rather keep an explicit remove/undo, I can add a lightweight "edit the crew" review step at the end (show the list, offer to drop any) — but that reintroduces a menu, so I left it out per your "keep adding more" intent.
## Verified
Build, `gofmt`, `go vet`, `golangci-lint` (0 issues), and `review` tests all pass. The scripted `--set-slot` path (and its duplicate-agents test) is unchanged and still green.

Solid direction — master-as-lead is a nice framing. But before endorsing, let me check one thing that the mock quietly changes: whether the master is still required to be one of the worker slots.
Confirmed the key hidden change: today `profile.Master` **must be one of the worker slots** (`selectProfileWorker(profile, profile.Master)` errors otherwise), and that master _also_ runs as a worker. Your mock shows the master (Claude Code) **not** in the slot list — so it's quietly reframing master as a separate "judge" role. That's the crux of my feedback.
## Biggest concerns
**1\. Master-first front-loads ceremony onto the common case.**
Most runs are "just review my branch with one agent." Synthesis/master only matters with ≥2 workers. Asking for the master _first_ forces every user through a judge picker they often don't need. I'd either:
- make master **conditional** (only ask when there are ≥2 slots), or
- keep it first but offer an explicit **"single reviewer / no master"** path.
My instinct: **task → slots → master(if ≥2 slots)** reads more naturally (decide _what_ to review, _who_ reviews, then _who judges_ — and only when judging is meaningful). If you keep master-first for the "lead" framing, at least skip synthesis when only one slot ends up configured.
**2\. Decide master's semantics — and the schema cost.**
The mock implies master is _separate_ from slots. Two sub-questions:
- Does the master **also produce a worker review**, or is it a **pure synthesizer**? (Cleaner: pure judge. But it's a behavior change — today the master competes as a worker too.)
- Schema: `Master` is currently a _worker key_ (\+ `MasterModel`). A standalone master needs its own `MasterAgent`+`MasterModel` independent of `Agents`. Worth adding, but it's a real migration touchpoint and changes the `selectProfileWorker(master)` validation everywhere.
**3\. Step 3 contradicts what we just shipped.**
The mock's slot screen is a **list + "+ Add slot" + "Done · N"** — i.e. the single-screen menu I _removed_ last commit in favor of the linear "add another" you asked for. To be fair, this version is nicer (shows the running list in one place, and selecting a row could give back edit/remove — which you lost). But pick a lane:
- linear "add another" (current), or
- single-screen list-with-add/done (mock) — I'd lean this way _if_ selecting a slot row lets you edit/remove it (recovers the removal capability).
## Smaller suggestions
- **Step 2 conflates task vs skill.** "What to review" (profile `Task`) and "which skill to run" (per-slot `Skills`) are different axes. A preset should map to _both_ (e.g. Security → task text **and**`/security-review` per slot). Clarify whether "BYO .md skill" is profile-wide or per-slot — today skills are per-worker.
- **Master picker UI:** the grouped agent-headers-with-indented-models look needs a custom component (huh can't render non-selectable headers in a select). Simpler and consistent: a flat select of `Claude Code · sonnet`, `Codex · gpt-5-codex`, … `custom…`.
- **Reuse one agent→model sub-flow** for both master (step 1) and slots (step 3) — same picker, less code, consistent UX.
- **Master defaulting:** pre-select a sensible master (first text-gen-capable slot) so Enter-through works, rather than forcing a choice.
## My recommendation
1. **Task** (preset / BYO) — universal, set it first.
2. **Slots** (agent+model, linear or list-style — your call).
3. **Master** — only if ≥2 slots; default to a sensible slot; allow "separate judge" with its own model.
This keeps the simple single-reviewer path one-or-two prompts, and only surfaces master when it actually does something.
Want me to (a) adopt this ordering as-is, or (b) implement your master-first version with the schema change for a standalone master? Either way I'd nail down the task↔skill mapping first.
1. I want to pivot to a multi agent flow, has nothing to do with just "review" I want the command also to be "scout" instead of "review". Use what possible from "review" but otherwise it's "scout".
2. It IS separate form slots.
3. single-screen, what you reommend.
I like your recommendation.

Love it. Big pivot, so let me lock the plan, then start on the foundation. First let me confirm the master/validation code I'll need to change.
This is a multi-stage pivot. Let me lock the plan and decisions, then build the foundation. First, the remaining validation block:
I have all the touch points. Here's the plan, then I'll build the foundation.
## Plan — `scout` (multi-agent crew runner; review = one preset)
**Decisions (yours + my recommendation):**
- **Command:**`scout` becomes the user-facing command, reusing the `review` engine (package stays internal to avoid a destabilizing rename). `review` kept as a hidden alias for back-compat.
- **Master:** standalone judge — its own agent+model, **not** a worker slot, pure synthesizer. New schema field `MasterAgent` (legacy worker-`Master` still honored).
- **Flow:** Task (preset/BYO) → Slots (single-screen list, add/edit/remove) → Master (only when ≥2 slots).
**Stages:**
1. **Foundation: standalone master** (engine — this turn). Everything else needs it.
2. **`scout` command** wrapping the engine; `review` → hidden alias.
3. **New guided flow**: task→slots→master, single-screen slot list.
Starting Stage 1 now.
Now the three `cmd.go` validation/run sites:
Build OK. Let me add tests for the standalone-master resolution.
Lint's `goconst` tripped on repeated literals in the test. Let me check the count and use the existing agent-name constants.
`golangci-lint` runs in new-code mode, so my added test literals trip `goconst`. Let me factor them into constants.
Clean. Let me run the broader CLI tests, then commit Stage 1.
Stage 1 done and pushed (`6f9da77f6`). The master can now be a standalone judge.
## Where we are
**✅ Stage 1 — Standalone master (foundation)**
- New `MasterAgent` field: master = its own agent+model, **not** required to be a worker slot, pure synthesizer.
- `profileMasterIdentity` resolves master (standalone wins, legacy worker `Master` still honored); validation now accepts a standalone master (checked for text-generation capability) instead of forcing master ∈ workers.
- Tests for resolution precedence; build/lint/tests green.
## Next stages (confirming before I build)
**Stage 2 — `scout` command**
- `scout` becomes the user-facing command, reusing the review engine (`NewCommand`). `review` kept as a **hidden alias** (back-compat, reversible).
- Re-brand help/text from "review" → "scout" at the command layer; keep internal package/settings/env names as-is (implementation detail) to avoid a destabilizing rename.
**Stage 3 — New guided flow**
1. **Task** — preset (General / Security / Accessibility) or BYO (custom text / point at a `.md` skill).
2. **Slots** — single-screen list (`+ Add slot`, select a row to edit/remove, `Done · N`).
3. **Master** — only when ≥2 slots; standalone agent+model (reusing the slot's agent→model sub-flow); sensible default pre-selected.
Two quick checks before Stage 3 so I don't guess:
1. **Task ↔ skill mapping:** when a preset is chosen (e.g. Security), should it set both the profile `Task` text _and_ seed each slot's default skill (e.g. `/security-review` for Claude)? And for BYO ".md skill" — apply it to **all** slots, or is that a per-slot thing?
2. **`scout` naming:** OK to keep `review` as a hidden alias (vs. removing it outright)? And keep settings keys/env (`review_profiles`, `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*`) internal for now, or do you want those renamed to `scout_*` too (bigger, migration-y change)?
Want me to proceed to Stage 2 (the `scout` command) now while you answer the Stage 3 questions?

Stage 2: introduce `scout` as the command, reusing the engine, with `review` as a hidden alias. Let me find the command definition and all user-facing `entire review ...` guidance strings.
Many user-facing strings. Let me read the command's `Use`/`Short`/`Long` and flag block to rebrand precisely.
Now rebrand the command to `scout` with `review` as a hidden alias:
Now update the user-facing printed guidance strings (`entire review …` → `entire scout …`) across `cmd.go`, `picker.go`, `profile.go`, and `fix.go`:
Now `fix.go` — let me view its command-name references.
Let me build, then sweep for any remaining user-facing `entire review` references (incl. `root.go`/`labs.go`).
The Long uses a raw string (backticks), so the backticks I added inside it broke it. Let me fix that line.
Fix the remaining references — `picker.go:864` and the labs entry:
`entire scout` works. Let me verify the `review` alias still works, then run tests/lint.
Both work. Let me update the root.go comment, then run tests + lint.
Let me find the actual failing test (the `--last` lines are likely unrelated expected output).
The labs tests assert the old `entire review` wording. Let me see all labs failures and the overview format.
The `Try:` block in `labsOverview` hardcodes `entire review --help`. Let me update it and the labs tests to scout wording.
Let me check `TestRootHelp_ShowsLabsButHidesReview` and re-run.
Two more test assertions to update to scout wording:
All green. Let me run the integration tests (which invoke `review`/`attach`) to confirm the alias path works end-to-end, plus a final lint.
The 2 lint issues are in `agent/architecture_test.go` — a file I didn't touch (pre-existing `nolintlint` noise). My changed packages lint clean (0 issues, verified above). Let me commit Stage 2.
Stage 2 done and pushed (`77e4c8d6d`).
## ✅ Stage 2 — `scout` command
- **`entire scout`** is now the command (multi-agent crew), with **`review` as a hidden cobra alias** — both work, fully back-compatible.
- Rebranded `Use`/`Short`/`Long` (now describes the crew model: workers in parallel → master synthesizes), all user-facing guidance strings (`entire review …` → `entire scout …`), the labs entry, and `--findings` footer.
- **No behavior change** — internal package, settings keys (`review_profiles`), and env vars (`ENTIRE_REVIEW_*`) stay as-is (branding only).
- Updated the affected test expectations (labs, manifest footer/warning).
Verified: `entire scout --help` and `entire review --help` both work; build, gofmt, scoped lint (0 issues), unit + integration tests green. (The 2 lint warnings in the broad run are in `agent/architecture_test.go`, a pre-existing file I didn't touch.)
## Progress
- ✅ Stage 1 — standalone master
- ✅ Stage 2 — `scout` command (review alias)
- ⏭️ **Stage 3 — new guided flow**: Task (preset/BYO) → Slots (single-screen list, edit/remove) → Master (standalone, only when ≥2 slots)
Before I build Stage 3, the two questions from before still stand (they shape the implementation):
1. **Task ↔ skill mapping:** when a preset is picked (e.g. Security), set both the profile `Task` text _and_ seed each slot's default skill (e.g. `/security-review` for Claude)? And BYO ".md skill" — apply to **all** slots, or per-slot?
2. Anything to change about the **single-screen slot list** interaction now that master is separate (e.g. should the master row show at the top of that screen, or stay its own step)?
Answer those and I'll implement Stage 3.

1. Default for the guided flow should be ALL slots but with a parameter option to do different ones per slot.
2. Should be a separte step still.
1mo ago·2m·9 calls
Clear. Stage 3 changes: **(a)** slots → single-screen list with edit/remove, and **(b)** master → standalone separate step (sets `MasterAgent`, any installed text-gen agent). Task stays uniform-to-all-slots (per-slot is the advanced `--edit`/`--set-slot` path). Let me read the current guided-setup + crew functions to edit precisely.
Now I'll implement: single-screen crew list (add/edit/remove, seeded with all agents), a standalone-master step, and remove the now-unused helpers. Let me grep exact current text of the helpers I'll replace.
Now apply all Stage 3 edits:
The `endText` field slipped in. Resending without it.
Build OK. Let me run tests + lint.
All green. Let me verify the run path treats a standalone master correctly (master not in worker slots → only synthesizes), then commit. The reviewers are built from `profile.Agents` (workers) and the master is resolved separately via `resolveProfileMaster`, so a standalone `MasterAgent` not in `Agents` only synthesizes — correct.
Stage 3 done and pushed (`a9ea5bf7d`). The full pivot is now in place.
## ✅ Stage 3 — new guided flow
The `entire scout` guided setup is now **Task → Slots → Master**:
**1\. Task** (existing step) — General / Security / Accessibility. The chosen task applies to the **whole crew** by default; per-slot skills stay available via `entire scout --edit`.
**2\. Slots — single-screen list**, seeded with **all** launchable agents (default model):
```
Add review slots
Each slot is an agent + model. The whole crew runs the same task;
set per-slot skills later with `entire scout --edit`.
? Review crew Select a slot to edit or remove it; + Add slot to add one.
1 claude-code · default model
2 codex · gpt-5-codex
> + Add slot
Done · 2 slot(s)
```
Selecting a slot row → Edit / Remove / Cancel. `+ Add slot` → agent → model. Duplicates allowed.
**3\. Master — separate, standalone step** (only when ≥2 slots):
```
Choose the review master
It evaluates the workers' reports and writes the final verdict.
? Master agent (installed, text-gen-capable agents)
? Model for … (Default / advertised / Custom…)
```
Sets `MasterAgent`/`MasterModel` — its own agent+model, **not** one of the worker slots, pure synthesizer.
## Full pivot recap
- ✅ **Stage 1** — standalone master schema + run path
- ✅ **Stage 2** — `scout` command (`review` = hidden alias)
- ✅ **Stage 3** — guided flow: task → single-screen slots (edit/remove) → standalone master
Build, gofmt, lint (0 issues in the review package), unit + integration tests all green across every stage.
## Notes / possible follow-ups
- **BYO task ("Custom… / point at a .md skill")** from your mock isn't built yet — the task step still has the 3 presets. Small add (custom task text); the per-slot `.md` skill needs more design. Say the word and I'll add it.
- The interactive pickers remain not-unit-tested (huh can't run headless — unchanged constraint); the data-layer pieces (`profileMasterIdentity`, `buildCrewProfile`, `workerIDForAgentModel`, scripted `--set-slot`) are covered.
- Settings keys/env are still internally `review_*`/`ENTIRE_REVIEW_*` (branding-only rename per Stage 2). If you want those migrated to `scout_*`, that's a separate, migration-y change.
What's next — the BYO custom task, or something else?

This is way too much information here "Configure a review profile.

Then, also, is this creating one "group" and can I have and run multiple "groups"? E.g. on entire scout review and one entire scout security?
1mo ago·59.2s·8 calls
Two things — first the verbosity (a code fix), then the "groups" question.
## 1\. Trimming the guided-flow text
You're right, it's over-explained. The huh form titles/descriptions already carry the meaning, so I'll drop the prose banners.
Removing those banners makes `out` unused in `promptForStandaloneMaster`. Let me drop the param.
`out` is now unused in `promptForReviewCrew` too. Let me drop it there as well.
All clean. Let me commit the trim.
Trimmed and pushed (`9eae501d9`). The guided flow is now just the form prompts — `What kind of review?` → `Review crew` (with a one-line hint) → `Choose the review master` (one line, only when there's a choice) → `Start review now?`. No prose walls.
## 2\. Groups = profiles (yes, multiple, run independently)
Each configured crew is a named **profile** — that _is_ your "group." You can have as many as you want and run each separately.
**How the guided flow names the group:** the "What kind of review?" step picks the profile name:
- General → `general` (the default)
- Security → `security`
- Accessibility → `accessibility`
So choosing the type = choosing/creating that group.
**Running a specific group:**
```
1
2
3
4
entire scout # runs the default profile (general)
entire scout security # runs the "security" group
entire scout general # runs the "general" group
entire scout --profile security # same, via flag
```
**Configuring multiple groups:**
```
1
2
3
4
5
entire scout --configure --profile security
entire scout --configure --profile general
# then run either:
entire scout security
entire scout general
```
They coexist in settings (`review_profiles` map) with a default (`review_default_profile`). `entire scout --configure` (no `--profile`) shows all configured profiles.
### Two clarifications
1. **One group per invocation** — there's no "run all groups" in a single command. Run them in sequence: `entire scout general && entire scout security`. Each is its own crew run, recorded on the checkpoint.
2. **`entire scout review` won't work as you'd expect** — `review` is the _command alias_ (`entire review` == `entire scout`), not a profile name. There's no `review` profile by default, so `entire scout review` would look for a profile called "review" and error. The actual group names are `general` / `security` / `accessibility` (or whatever you pass to `--profile`).
So: yes, multiple groups, fully supported — just address them by profile name (`entire scout security`), not "review".

You think scout still works? I feel like maybe squad is better and slots are the scouts (if they even need a name) or does scout for the whole thing work better?
1mo ago·1m
Honest take: **keep `scout`, don't switch to `squad`** — and the reason is grammatical, not aesthetic.
## Command names want to be verbs
Look at the neighbors: `review`, `investigate`, `attach`, `resume` — all verbs/actions you _do_ to the branch. `scout` fits that perfectly: "scout this change." `squad` is a **noun**, and `entire squad` reads like a management namespace (`git branch`, `git remote`) — i.e. "create/list squads," not "go assess my code now." That fights the run-now semantics you actually have.
So as the top-level command, `scout` is the stronger choice.
## On naming the slots
Here's the tension with your idea: if the **command** is `scout` _and_ the **workers** are "scouts," you get an overload — "the scout command runs scouts" is muddy in docs and `--help`. One word doing two jobs.
Two clean ways out:
- **Don't name them (my lean).** Slots are "workers" / "slots" — functional, unambiguous. You don't need a flavor noun for them, and not having one keeps `scout` unambiguous.
- **Commit to the metaphor, but only where it doesn't collide.** Keep `scout` as the verb, and name the _master_ the **scoutmaster** (the real term for a scout troop's leader). That reinforces the theme, reads great in the UI ("Choose the scoutmaster — evaluates the scouts' reports"), and crucially doesn't overload the worker term. The workers can stay "workers"; the lead is the scoutmaster.
What I'd **avoid**: `squad` as the command, or simultaneously calling the command `scout` and the workers `scouts`.
## If you want a team-noun anywhere
The _group_ (the profile) is the natural place for a collective noun if you want one — internally I already call it the "crew." So you could say "scout runs a crew of workers, led by the scoutmaster." That gives you the squad-ish flavor without breaking the verb command.
My recommendation: **`scout` (command, unchanged) + workers stay "workers"/"slots" + rename the master to "scoutmaster" in the UI.** Small, cohesive, no overload.
Want me to apply just the `master` → `scoutmaster` relabel in the user-facing strings (keeping the schema field `MasterAgent` as-is)?
Why does Codex only show example models and also fails "codex:gpt-5-codex … ✗ failed 4.2s exit status 1"
1mo ago·16.7s·16 calls
Switching to debugging. Let me look at Codex's reviewer command and model lister.
Codex's example models are by design (Codex has no model-enumeration command). Now the failure — let me find Codex's reviewer command construction.
Codex's example models are intentional (no enumeration command). The failure is the real issue. Let me check whether the reviewer captures Codex's **stderr** — "exit status 1" with no reason suggests the actual error is being swallowed.
The engine does capture stderr into `ProcessError`. So either it's empty or the sink isn't showing it. Let me check `ProcessError.Error()` and how the sinks render a failed run.
The engine _does_ surface stderr (dump + TUI detail). The inline `✗ failed exit status 1` is just the summary row — the real reason should be in the post-run dump or the TUI detail pane. But Codex `exec --json` likely writes its error as a stdout JSON line and exits 1 with empty stderr. Let me check whether the parser captures Codex error envelopes.
Found the gap. Two separate things:
## 1\. Codex "example" models — by design
Codex has **no model-enumeration command**, so `ListModels` returns a hardcoded advisory list (`models.go`), all tagged `example`. `--model` just forwards whatever you pick to the Codex CLI. So the picker can only ever show examples for Codex (unlike Claude/Gemini which advertise real models).
## 2\. The `exit status 1` with no reason
The Codex reviewer runs `codex exec --skip-git-repo-check --json [--model X] -`. When it fails, Codex typically writes its error as a **stdout JSON envelope** (e.g. `{"type":"error",...}`) and exits 1 — with **empty stderr**. But the parser only handles `thread.started`/`turn.started`/`item.*`/`turn.completed` and **drops everything else** (the `default` arm just Debug-logs the _type_, not the message). So the actual reason ("model not found" / "401" / "stream error") is thrown away, leaving only `exit status 1`.
Let me fix that — capture Codex error envelopes so the real message surfaces:
Let me add a test for the error-surfacing and verify lint.
Tests pass, lint clean. Let me commit.
Pushed (`9a30e1d7a`).
## Answers
**Why only example models for Codex?** By design — Codex has no model-list command, so `ListModels` returns a fixed advisory set (all tagged `example`). `--model` forwards whatever you pick straight to the Codex CLI. Claude/Gemini advertise real models; Codex can't.
**Why the bare `exit status 1`?** Codex reports failures as a stdout JSON envelope and exits non-zero with **empty stderr**. The parser only understood the success envelopes and silently dropped everything else — so the actual reason was lost. Fixed: it now captures the error message (`{"type":"error","message":…}` or `{"error":{"message":…}}`) and surfaces it as a `RunError`, which shows in the post-run dump and TUI detail.
## What to do now to see the real cause
Re-run and check the **dump / TUI detail** (not just the status row) — you should now get a real message instead of `exit status 1`.
If you want to confirm the underlying cause directly, reproduce the exact invocation manually:
```
1
printf 'say hi' | codex exec --skip-git-repo-check --json --model gpt-5-codex -
```
That JSON output will show the real error. Most likely one of:
- **`gpt-5-codex` isn't valid for your Codex account/CLI version** — try `--model gpt-5` (or `entire scout --agent codex --model gpt-5`).
- **Not authenticated** — `codex login`.
- **Flag mismatch** — an older/newer Codex where `exec --json` differs (a 4.2s run before failing argues against this; it points more at model/auth/API).
Tell me what that command prints and I can pin the exact fix. Also, if it turns out `gpt-5-codex` is just wrong, I can update the example list in `codex/models.go`.

Wtf, is the "example" thing we are showing there then? If no list available, could we do default or "custom"?
1mo ago·31.2s·8 calls
Fair — fake "examples" that look pickable but may be invalid is bad UX. Let me check what the other agents advertise (real vs. also fabricated) before deciding the fix.
Clear distinction: **Claude advertises real aliases** (`opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` — valid, keep), while **Codex and Gemini advertise fabricated "example" guesses**. Your instinct is right — those should be Default + Custom only. The picker _already_ does exactly that for agents that aren't model-listers. Let me check what references the Codex/Gemini model listers before removing them.
No references anywhere — safe to remove. Deleting the two fabricated-example listers (keeping Claude's real aliases):
Let me run the affected tests and verify `--models` output now does the Default/Custom guidance for Codex/Gemini.
A test asserts the old example models in `--models` output. Let me read and update it.
Two tests assert the removed examples. Updating them to the new Default/Custom behavior:
All green, lint clean. Let me commit.
Done (`724f5797e`).
## What the "example" thing was — and the fix
Those `example`-tagged entries were **hardcoded guesses**. Codex and Gemini have no model-enumeration command, so the code just made up a plausible list (`gpt-5-codex`, `gemini-2.5-pro`, …) and presented them as if pickable — even though they might not be valid for your CLI/account (which is exactly how `gpt-5-codex` failed).
You're right: if there's no real list, don't fabricate one. So I **removed the Codex and Gemini model listers entirely**. Now:
- **Model picker** (guided flow) for Codex/Gemini shows just:
```
> Default (agent's own default model)
Custom… (type any value)
```
- **`entire scout --models`** shows for them:
```
codex:
(no advertised models; pass any value your CLI accepts via --model)
```
- **Claude keeps its real aliases** (`opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku`) — those are genuine, valid Claude Code aliases, not guesses.
This relies on the picker's existing "no advertised models → Default + Custom" path, so it was just a matter of not lying about the list.
Net effect for your earlier failure: you'd now pick **Default** (uses whatever your Codex is actually configured with) or type a model you _know_ works via **Custom…**, instead of being handed a fake `gpt-5-codex`. And if it still fails, the previous commit makes Codex surface the real error message instead of `exit status 1`.
Build, lint, and tests all green.

Did you remove all hardcoded examples?
1mo ago·14.3s·1 call
Let me verify there aren't other hardcoded model/example lists I missed.
Checked the whole tree. Here's the complete picture:
**Removed (fabricated guesses):** ✅ Codex and Gemini — both gone.
**Remaining hardcoded model list:** only **Claude** (`claudecode/models.go`):
```
1
2
3
{ID: "opus", Note: "alias — latest Claude Opus"},
{ID: "sonnet", Note: "alias — latest Claude Sonnet"},
{ID: "haiku", Note: "alias — latest Claude Haiku (fast)"},
```
These are **real, stable, documented Claude Code aliases** (note they're tagged `alias`, not `example`) — valid values the CLI actually accepts, not made-up examples. So I kept them intentionally.
**Everything else** that matched "example" is just documentation, not data:
- `agent.go` — a comment ("Pi, for example, …").
- `model_lister.go` — the doc comment for the `Note` field describing "example" as one possible hint.
And `ListModels` now exists only on Claude — no other agent (codex, gemini, pi, copilot, cursor, opencode, droid) advertises a model list, so they all fall to **Default + Custom**.
So: all _fabricated_ example lists are removed. The one surviving list is Claude's genuine aliases.
If you'd prefer **zero** hardcoding anywhere — i.e., Claude also reduced to just Default + Custom — I can drop its lister too. But I'd lean against it: those three aliases are real and a nice convenience, unlike the Codex/Gemini guesses. Want me to remove Claude's as well, or leave it?
So, we don't actually get a list of available models somehow from the different agents, is that correct?
1mo ago·23.7s·2 calls
Correct — right now nothing is queried live. Let me confirm what each agent's CLI actually offers before answering definitively.
Correct — **today nothing is queried live.** The doc on `ModelLister` even spells out the intended design, but it's only partially realized:
- **Claude** → hardcoded curated aliases (`opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku`) — real and valid, but static.
- **Codex, Gemini** → now nothing (we removed the fabricated lists) → Default + Custom.
- **Pi** → never had a lister → Default + Custom.
So no agent shells out for a live list right now.
## The irony / the real opportunity
The interface comment literally says:
> _Agents whose CLI can enumerate models live (e.g. Pi's `pi --list-models`) may shell out instead._
…but that path was **never implemented** — and **Pi is the one agent that actually has a real enumeration command** (`pi --list-models`, confirmed in its docs). So the only agent that _could_ give a genuine live list is the one currently showing nothing.
Capability per agent:
- **Pi** — ✅ `pi --list-models` exists → we could fetch a real, current list.
- **Codex** — ❌ no list command (confirmed).
- **Claude Code** — ❌ no list command; the aliases are the documented interface.
- **Gemini** — ❌ no reliable list command.
So the honest ceiling is: live list for **Pi**, static aliases for **Claude**, Default+Custom for **Codex/Gemini**.
## Offer
I can wire a **live `ListModels` for Pi** — shell out to `pi --list-models`, parse the output, and return the real models (with Default + Custom still always available, and a graceful fallback to Default+Custom if the call fails). That'd make Pi the one agent with an accurate, current list instead of guesses.
I'd also fix the now-stale `ModelLister` doc comment (it still claims codex/gemini "return a curated list," which we removed).
Want me to implement Pi live model enumeration?
So we cannot get the list for any other agent except Pi?
1mo ago·20.6s·2 calls
Let me actually probe the installed CLIs rather than rely on assumptions.
I actually probed the installed CLIs to be sure (not guessing):
- **claude**`--help` — subcommands are `agents`, `auth`, `doctor`, `mcp`, `plugin`, `ultrareview`, … **no `models`/`list-models`.**`--model` just takes an alias or full name.
- **codex**`--help` — subcommands `exec`, `review`, `login`, `mcp`, `doctor`, … **no model-enumeration command.**`-m/--model` takes a value.
- **gemini** — not installed here, but it has no documented list command either.
- **pi** — has `--list-models`. ✅
So **through the agent CLIs themselves: yes, Pi is the only one.** Claude and Codex genuinely have no command that enumerates models — verified from their own `--help`.
## The only other way (and why I'd skip it)
The models ultimately belong to the **providers**, and those _do_ have list endpoints:
- OpenAI `GET /v1/models`
- Anthropic `GET /v1/models`
- Google `models.list`
So in principle we could fetch live lists by calling the provider APIs directly with the user's keys. But I'd recommend **against** it:
- It bypasses the agent CLI abstraction (we'd need to discover/handle each provider's auth + endpoints ourselves).
- The returned model IDs don't necessarily match what a given CLI/account/tier actually accepts — so we'd be back to "looks valid but may fail," the exact problem we just removed.
- It couples Entire to provider APIs it otherwise doesn't touch.
## So the honest model-list story
- **Pi:** can be live (`pi --list-models`) — worth wiring.
- **Claude:** static real aliases (`opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku`) — fine.
- **Codex / Gemini:** Default + Custom — no reliable source short of provider APIs.
Net: I'd implement live enumeration for **Pi** and leave the rest as-is. Want me to do the Pi one?
Ok, let's only list for Pi then and just show default and custom for others. Make sure we have Pi only in the separate Pi PR.
1mo ago·37.4s·17 calls
Plan: Pi's live `ListModels` goes in the **Pi PR** (`pi-invoked-skills-extraction`, off `main`); "Default + Custom for others" is already done on `review-profiles`. Let me first see Pi's actual `--list-models` output format, and how the Pi agent execs commands.
Output is a clean table (`provider model context …`). I'll parse provider+model → `provider/model` IDs. Let me switch to the Pi PR branch and check how the Pi agent execs.
On the Pi branch (off `main`), `PiAgent` is a plain struct. I'll exec `pi --list-models` directly and keep parsing in a pure, testable function. Writing `pi/models.go`:
`agent.ModelLister` is undefined here — meaning the whole ModelLister capability lives on `review-profiles`, not `main`. Let me confirm.
Important finding — this changes the plan. The **entire `ModelLister` capability lives only on `review-profiles`**, not `main`:
- `agent.ModelLister`, `ModelInfo`, `AsModelLister` → review-profiles only
- claude/codex/gemini listers + the picker that consumes them → review-profiles only
The Pi PR (`pi-invoked-skills-extraction`) is off `main`, so Pi's `ListModels` **can't compile there** — it depends on the review feature's interface. So model-listing can't go in that off-main PR.
The honest place for it is **`review-profiles`**, alongside the Pi reviewer (which already lives there, not in the Pi PR) and the rest of the model-list machinery. Let me move it there.
On `review-profiles` now (where `ModelLister` exists). Recreating Pi's live lister here:
Now fix the stale `ModelLister` doc comment (codex/gemini no longer list on this branch):
Let me verify end-to-end that `scout --models --agent pi` now shows the live list.
Pi's lister errored at runtime. Let me debug the exec.
Pi writes the table to **stderr**, not stdout — so `.Output()` (stdout only) got nothing. Switching to `CombinedOutput`:
Live Pi list works now. Let me run tests/lint and commit.
Done (`6471b1b5e`).
## Outcome
**Pi now lists models live** via `pi --list-models` — verified end-to-end:
```
$ entire scout --models --agent pi
pi:
anthropic/claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
anthropic/claude-opus-4-5
...
```
Parsed into `provider/model` ids that Pi's `--model` accepts. Falls back to Default + Custom if the call fails. (Gotcha caught along the way: Pi prints the table to **stderr**, so I had to use combined output.)
**Everyone else unchanged:** Claude keeps its real aliases; Codex/Gemini show only Default + Custom.
## One important deviation from your instruction — please note
You asked to put the Pi model-listing in the **separate Pi PR**. I couldn't: that PR (`pi-invoked-skills-extraction`) is branched off `main`, and the **entire `ModelLister` capability** (`agent.ModelLister`, `ModelInfo`, `AsModelLister`, the picker that consumes it) **exists only on `review-profiles`**, not `main`. So Pi's `ListModels` literally won't compile off main — it's part of the review/scout feature.
So I put it on **`review-profiles`**, where it belongs alongside:
- the Pi **reviewer** (`pi/reviewer.go`) — also already on review-profiles, not the Pi PR, and
- the claude/codex/gemini listers + picker.
The off-main Pi PR (#1383) stays as just the **skill-capture guard** (which genuinely is main-compatible).
If you'd still prefer the model-listing isolated, the only way would be to first land the `ModelLister` interface on `main` separately — but that interface is intrinsically part of the scout feature, so I don't think it's worth splitting. Let me know if you disagree and I'll restructure.

[https://github.com/entireio/cli/pull/1313](https://github.com/entireio/cli/pull/1313) this is not based of main
1mo ago·9.3s·3 calls
Let me check what PR #1313 actually is and its base branch.
PR #1313 is based off `review-profiles` (head `review-pi-reviewer`) — so it _does_ have `ModelLister`, and that's the right home for Pi-specifics. I conflated it with the off-main #1383. Let me inspect what's on that branch vs. what I put on `review-profiles`.
That clears it up — and reveals a problem I created. PR #1313 (`review-pi-reviewer`, stacked on `review-profiles`) is the proper home for **all** Pi-specifics, and it already contains `pi/reviewer.go`, `pi/models.go`, `pi/generate.go`, etc. But I've been committing Pi work **directly onto `review-profiles`** — so it's now duplicated. Let me assess the overlap precisely.
You're right, and this exposes a mistake I made. Here's the actual topology:
- **PR #1313** (`review-pi-reviewer`) is based on **`review-profiles`** (not main) — so it _does_ have `ModelLister`, and it's the correct home for all Pi-specifics.
- It **already contains a complete, better Pi integration**: `reviewer.go`, `models.go` (live `pi --list-models` via the isolated CLI runner, **with notes**), `models_test.go`, **and `generate.go`** (Pi text-gen, so Pi can be a scoutmaster too).
The problem: I've been committing Pi work **directly onto `review-profiles`** (the reviewer in `1d8ceda2d`, the model lister just now in `6471b1b5e`). So Pi is now **duplicated** — and worse, `#1313` is **stale** (branched at `b9663b514`, before all my scout/slot/master/rename work), so it has its _own_ divergent edits to `cmd.go`, `picker.go`, `profile.go`, `review_bridge.go`, `settings.go`.
So two things are now tangled:
1. **Pi duplication** I created on `review-profiles` (should only be on #1313).
2. **#1313 is far behind**`review-profiles` and will conflict heavily on the shared scout files when rebased.
## What I recommend
1. **Strip my Pi-specific additions from `review-profiles`** (delete `pi/reviewer.go`, `pi/reviewer_test.go`, `pi/models.go`, `pi/models_test.go`; undo the `pi` case in `review_bridge.go`). That makes `review-profiles` the clean general-scout branch with **no Pi**, exactly as you want. Nothing is lost — #1313 has all of it (and better).
2. **Rebase #1313 onto the updated `review-profiles`** so it carries _only_ Pi-specifics on top. This is where the real conflict work is (the overlapping scout edits), and it’s #1313’s job to absorb them.
Net end state: `review-profiles` = scout feature, no Pi; `#1313` = Pi reviewer + Pi live models + Pi generate, stacked cleanly.
Before I start deleting from a shared branch: **want me to (1) strip Pi from `review-profiles` now**, and do you want me to **(2) also rebase `#1313`** onto it, or will you/its author handle the rebase? I don't want to rewrite that branch without you confirming.
You do it.

Let me do it. **Step 1: strip Pi from `review-profiles`.** First confirm clean state and see the exact `review_bridge.go` wiring.
Branch drifted again (external activity). Let me get firmly onto `review-profiles`.
Now on `review-profiles` (head `6471b1b5e`), clean. Stripping Pi:
Now revert the Pi mention in the `ModelLister` doc comment (Pi's lister is leaving this branch):
Build + tests pass. Committing the strip:
**Step 2: rebase #1313 onto the updated `review-profiles`.** First let me see #1313's commits and how its shared-file edits relate to the new scout code.
#1313's content is clean: 2 substantive commits (Pi adapter + Pi live models) plus 8 sync-merges, and all its shared-file edits are trivial "add pi to a list/switch/string." A plain rebase (dropping the merge commits) onto `review-profiles` will flatten it to those 2 Pi commits. Let me do it on a local branch and verify before force-pushing.
Only one conflict — a docs file; all code auto-merged. Let me resolve it.
I'll keep both paragraphs and update the `--models` one to reflect the current reality (Claude aliases, Pi live, codex/gemini Default+Custom):

Let me identify the failing test.
Pi's live list likely contains a model whose ID includes `gpt-5-codex`, so my naive global substring assertion misfires. Let me confirm and make the check codex-section-specific.

Force-push succeeded. Let me verify the final state of both branches/PR and confirm the diff is now Pi-only.
Both branches are now clean. Let me switch back to `review-profiles` (the working branch) and confirm state.
Done. Everything is in its right place now.
## Final state
**`review-profiles`** (head `34a4b8305`) — the clean general **scout** feature, **no Pi**:
- No `pi/reviewer.go`, no `pi/models.go`, no `pi` case in `launchableReviewerFor` (verified: 0 matches).
- Keeps all the general work: scout rename, slot picker, standalone master, dropped `review attach`, codex/gemini example-list removal, etc.
**PR #1313** (`review-pi-reviewer`, base `review-profiles`) — now a clean **2-commit** stack carrying only Pi:
1. `Add Pi review runner adapter`
2. `Implement Pi live model listing for entire review --models`
The 8 stale sync-merge commits are gone (flattened by the rebase), and the diff vs `review-profiles` is Pi-only — the new Pi files (`reviewer.go`, `models.go`, `generate.go` \+ tests) plus trivial "add pi to the list" edits to shared files.
## What I did
1. **Stripped Pi from `review-profiles`** (deleted the duplicated reviewer/models I'd mistakenly added, removed the wiring, de-Pi'd the `ModelLister` doc) → pushed.
2. **Rebased `#1313` onto the updated `review-profiles`** — one trivial docs conflict (merged both paragraphs), and one test fix: `TestReviewCmd_ListModels` had a naive global `gpt-5-codex` substring check that now false-positives because **Pi's live list legitimately includes `openai/gpt-5-codex`**; made it codex-section-specific instead. Folded that into the live-models commit.
3. Verified build / `gofmt` / `golangci-lint` (0 issues) / unit tests green on both branches, then force-pushed `#1313` with `--force-with-lease`.
Net: `#1313` keeps the **superior** Pi integration (live `pi --list-models` with notes, plus `generate.go` so Pi can also be the scoutmaster), and it now stacks cleanly on the Pi-free `review-profiles`. The off-main PR #1383 remains just the skill-capture guard.
Where does the claude alias "model" come from?
1mo ago·12.7s·1 call
It's **hardcoded** — same mechanism as the codex/gemini examples were, just with valid values.
Source: `cmd/entire/cli/agent/claudecode/models.go`:
```
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
func (c *ClaudeCodeAgent) ListModels(_ context.Context) ([]agent.ModelInfo, error) {
return []agent.ModelInfo{
{ID: "opus", Note: "alias — latest Claude Opus"},
{ID: "sonnet", Note: "alias — latest Claude Sonnet"},
{ID: "haiku", Note: "alias — latest Claude Haiku (fast)"},
}, nil
}
```
Note it ignores `ctx` and makes **no CLI call** — it's a static list, not enumerated from `claude`.
**So why did I keep it but remove codex/gemini?** The difference is validity, not mechanism:
- These three are **documented Claude Code aliases**. `claude --help` literally says `--model` accepts _"an alias for the latest model"_ — `opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` are those stable aliases that always resolve to the current model of each tier. So they don't go stale the way a specific id (`gpt-5-codex`) can.
- The codex/gemini entries were specific, version-y model **ids** we guessed at — looked valid, could fail.
**But your underlying point is fair:** Claude's list is still hardcoded, and Claude has **no enumeration command** (verified earlier — no `models` subcommand in `claude --help`), so we can't make it live like Pi. So the honest options for Claude are exactly: keep these three stable aliases, or drop to Default + Custom (zero hardcoding).
I kept them because three never-stale aliases are a genuinely useful convenience. If you'd rather have **zero** hardcoded models anywhere — only Pi live, everyone else Default + Custom — I'll remove Claude's lister too. Want that?
In which part can I chose the "type/skill"? It's not part of the flow it seems
1mo ago·44.1s·4 calls
Good catch. The "What kind of review?" (type → task + default skills) picker _exists_ (`promptForSimpleReviewProfile`), but it only runs when no profile name is set. The `--configure` path defaults the name to `general` **before** calling the guided setup, so the picker gets skipped. Let me confirm.
Confirmed the gap: `--configure` defaults the name to `general` before calling the guided setup, so the type picker (`promptForSimpleReviewProfile`) is skipped. The fix is to pass the **raw**`--profile` value (empty when not given) to the interactive setup, so the type step runs unless the user explicitly named a profile:
Let me confirm I'm on `review-profiles` and commit.
Fixed and pushed to `review-profiles` (`39ef30522`).
## What was wrong
The "What kind of review?" picker (General / Security / Accessibility → sets the task + each slot's default skill) **does** exist in the guided flow — but `--configure` defaulted the profile name to `general` **before** calling the setup, and the setup only shows the type step when no profile name is set. So it was silently skipped.
## The fix
`--configure` now passes the **raw**`--profile` value (empty when you didn't give one) into the guided setup, so the flow is:
```
entire scout --configure
? What kind of review? ← now shown
> General — correctness, regressions, tests
Security — auth, injection, secrets
Accessibility — keyboard, screen readers, contrast
? Review crew (slots)
? Choose the review master
? Start review now?
```
Behavior by invocation:
- `entire scout --configure` → type picker shown (you pick the type/skill).
- `entire scout --configure --profile security` → type picker skipped (you already named it → it uses the `security` defaults).
- `entire scout` first run (no profile yet) → already showed the type picker (unchanged).
The chosen type drives the **skill uniformly** across the crew (e.g. Security → `/security-review` for Claude). Per-slot skill differences remain in `entire scout --edit`.
Build / tests / lint green.
Two notes:
- This is a general scout fix, so it's on `review-profiles` (not Pi). It does make `#1313` one commit stale again — normal for the stacked PR; I can re-rebase it whenever you want.
- The mock's **"Custom… — write a task or point at a `.md` skill"** option in that type step is still **not** built (we deferred it). Want me to add at least the custom-task-text option now?

How can I list existing scouts?
1mo ago·26.7s·1 call
Let me check what listing actually exists in the code before answering.
Short answer: **there's no dedicated command for it** — that's a gap.
## What exists today
The only place profiles are listed is the **discovery view** inside `--configure`, and it only renders in a **non-interactive** context (piped/CI), because interactively `--configure` opens the wizard instead:
```
1
entire scout --configure | cat
```
→ prints:
```
Available review agents:
claude-code hooks installed
...
Configured profiles:
general (default): claude-code, codex master=claude-code
security: claude-code
```
That's awkward. The other list flags aren't this:
- `entire scout --agents` → workers of _one_ profile
- `entire scout --models` → models per agent
Otherwise the profiles live in settings as `review_profiles` (\+ `review_default_profile`) in your Entire settings / clone-local preferences, which you'd have to read directly.
## The gap
There's no clean `entire scout --list` to see your "groups" (profiles) at a glance interactively.
I'd add a **`--list`** flag (no repo needed, like `--models`) that prints each configured profile, marks the default, and shows its workers + master — e.g.:
```
$ entire scout --list
Profiles:
general (default) claude-code · default, codex · gpt-5 master: claude-code · opus
security claude-code · opus
Run one with `entire scout `.
```
It'd reuse the existing `nonZeroProfiles` / `sortedProfileNames` helpers, so it's small.

- No repo run / agents launched — just reads settings (like `--models`/`--agents`).
- Empty case: `No scout profiles configured. Create one with 'entire scout --configure'.`
Verified end-to-end (shows real profiles); build, tests, lint (0 issues) green. Help test now asserts `--list` is present.
As before, this is a general scout change so it's on `review-profiles` — it does leave `#1313` another commit behind; I can re-rebase that stack whenever you want to sync it.

The flow always starts fresh and never shows which profile you're editing. Let me make the guided setup **edit the existing profile** — pre-select the current type, seed the crew from the existing config, and pre-select the existing master. Let me read the current setup + callers.
Let me read the current `promptForReviewCrew` seed and `promptForStandaloneMaster` start to edit precisely.
Now I have what I need. Applying all the "edit existing profile" changes to `picker.go`:

All green, no test callers to update. Let me commit.
Done — pushed to `review-profiles` (`51bd6a09f`).
## What changed
The guided setup now **reflects and edits the existing profile** instead of always starting from scratch:
1. **Type picker** pre-selects and marks the current default:
```
? What kind of review?
> General — correctness, regressions, tests (current)
Security — auth, injection, secrets
Accessibility — keyboard, screen readers, contrast
```
2. **Crew picker** is seeded from the existing profile's workers (`agent · model`), so you see/edit your current crew rather than a fresh "all agents" default.
3. **Master step** pre-selects the existing master.
Mechanically: I threaded the loaded `EntireSettings` into `RunReviewGuidedSetup` so it can look up the profile being configured (`s.ReviewDefaultProfile` for the current marker, `s.ReviewProfiles[name]` to seed crew + master).
Behavior notes:
- This is the "simple" guided path, so per-agent **skill** details still reset to the profile-type defaults (advanced per-slot skills remain in `entire scout --edit`) — but crew composition and master are now preserved/shown.
- `entire scout --configure --profile ` editing an existing profile will seed from it; a brand-new name seeds all-agents.
Build, tests, lint (0 issues) green.
Two still-open follow-ups from earlier you may want:
- The **Custom… task** option in the type picker (you said yes, then we pivoted to listing/this) — still not built.
- Re-syncing **#1313** onto the now-several-commits-ahead `review-profiles`.

Why can I not have "custom" type? And is "type" actually the right name?
1mo ago·2m·3 calls
Two fair points. Let me answer both, then fix.
**Why no "Custom" yet:** honestly — I just never added it. It got deferred twice (we pivoted to `--list`, then to "indicate selected profile"). No technical reason; let me add it now.
**Is "type" the right name:** No, I don't think so. That step sets the profile's **`Task`** (what to look for) plus default skills — it's the review's _focus/task_, not a "type." Your own mock framed it as **"What should they review?"** with _Custom = write a task_, which matches the data model exactly. So I'll rename the step to that and make Custom a free-text task.
Let me implement both — rename the step and add Custom:
All green. Let me commit.
Done — pushed to `review-profiles` (`e4afce4d4`).
## Both addressed
**1\. "type" → renamed.** That step actually sets the profile's `Task` (\+ default skills), so it's the review **focus**, not a type. Retitled to match your mock:
```
? What should they review?
> General — correctness, regressions, tests (current)
Security — auth, injection, secrets
Accessibility — keyboard, screen readers, contrast
Custom… — describe your own task
```
**2\. Custom now exists.** Picking _Custom…_ prompts for free text:
```
? Describe the review task
What should the crew look for? This becomes the shared task for every worker.
> ▌
```
That text becomes the crew's shared `Task`, saved under the `custom` profile (run it with `entire scout custom`). It's also pre-selected/marked `(current)` when you're editing the custom profile. Empty input falls back to General.
Build, tests, lint (0 issues) green.
Notes:
- I went with **free-text task** for Custom. The mock also mentioned " _point at a `.md` skill_" — that's a separate, bigger feature (per-agent skill-file resolution); not built. Say the word if you want it.
- Custom always saves as the profile name `custom` (one custom profile). For multiple named custom profiles, the scripted path works: `entire scout --configure --profile myname --set-task "…"`. Could make the picker ask for a name if you'd prefer.
- Still outstanding whenever you want: re-syncing **#1313** onto the now-further-ahead `review-profiles`.

Should "entire scout" not always be the config OR list the available profiles?
1mo ago·52.7s
Good instinct — for a command that **spawns a whole crew of agents** (real time + tokens), silently running the default profile on a bare `entire scout` is surprising and undiscoverable. Right now:
- `entire scout` (profiles exist) → **immediately runs the default profile**
- `entire scout` (no profiles) → first-run setup
- `entire scout ` → runs that profile
So bare `scout` is a "fire the crew now" with a profile you may not remember choosing.
## My recommendation
Don't make it _always_ config (that breaks the verb), and don't make it a read-only list (then you still need a second command to run). Instead, bare **interactive**`entire scout` should open a **lightweight chooser** that combines both:
```
? Scout the current branch
Reviewing my-branch vs origin/main: 4 commits, 12 files
> general (default) · claude-code, codex, gemini → master claude-code
security · claude-code
──────────────
Configure a profile…
```
- **Enter** runs the pre-selected default → the fast path is preserved (one keypress, same as today).
- You can pick a different profile to run, or jump to **Configure**.
- It lists your profiles (discoverability) _and_ lets you act — covering both "config" and "list."
Behavior matrix:
- `entire scout ` → runs it directly (explicit, no menu).
- `entire scout` interactive, profiles exist → the chooser above.
- `entire scout` interactive, no profiles → first-run setup (unchanged).
- `entire scout` **non-interactive** (CI / agent host) → keep running the default silently (no TTY to prompt) — important so automated callers don't hang.
This makes the expensive action explicit and discoverable without slowing down the common case.
It's a meaningful change to default behavior, so before I build it: do you want the **Enter-to-run-default fast path** kept (my rec), or should bare `scout` _never_ auto-run and always require an explicit pick/confirm? And should the chooser show the scope banner (as above) so you know what you're about to review?
How would you run non-interactive!?
1mo ago·4m
Fair challenge — let me be concrete about it, because it changes my recommendation.
## How a non-interactive run actually works
Scout doesn't need a TTY to _run_ — the workers run **headless**: `claude -p`, `codex exec --json`, `pi --mode json`, gemini headless. Those take a prompt on argv/stdin and stream output; no terminal required. The **only** parts that need a TTY are the _wizard_, the _profile chooser_, and _confirm_ prompts.
So "non-interactive" means no usable TTY on stdin/stdout — and it's detected via `interactive.CanPromptInteractively()` / `IsTerminalWriter`, which already switch the run from the TUI to the plain `DumpSink`.
Realistic non-interactive callers:
- **CI** reviewing a PR: `entire scout security 2>&1 | tee report.md`, with agent creds in env (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `codex login`, etc.).
- **An agent host** (e.g. Claude Code) invoking `entire scout` as a command — stdout is captured, stdin isn't a terminal.
- Any piped/redirected invocation.
(And yes — if the agents aren't authenticated headlessly in that environment, they exit non-zero, exactly like the `codex … exit status 1` we hit.)
## But you've exposed a real flaw in my plan
You're right to push on it. "Non-interactive → silently run the default profile" is a **footgun**: an automated caller that forgot `--profile` would quietly fire whatever the default crew happens to be. That's worse than failing.
So I'd revise: **don't guess in automation.** Behavior should be:
| invocation | behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `entire scout ` | run that profile (interactive or not) |
| `entire scout` — interactive, profiles exist | the chooser (Enter = default) |
| `entire scout` — interactive, no profiles | first-run setup |
| `entire scout` — **non-interactive, no `--profile`** | **error**: "specify a profile, e.g. `entire scout general` (configured: general, security)" |
That way the explicit path always works headless, the interactive path is discoverable, and nothing silently spawns a crew you didn't ask for — in either mode.
So the bare, no-profile, non-interactive case becomes a clear error rather than a silent default run. Want me to implement it that way?
I'd say entire scout always requires a selection. So it's either interactive or returns a list of profiles?
1mo ago·1m·26 calls
Got it — bare `entire scout` always requires a selection: interactive → a chooser, non-interactive → print the profile list and error (no run). Let me read the current `runReview` top to restructure it cleanly.
This restructures the core run path. Let me apply it: a non-interactive bare guard, set the profile after first-run, and an interactive chooser when profiles exist.
The stray `endText` again. Resending.
Now add `promptForProfileToRun` to `picker.go`:
These smoke tests run `review` bare non-interactively, relying on the auto-default that I just removed. Let me see how they invoke it and pass an explicit profile.
These tests configure a `general` profile and relied on auto-default. Now they must name it. Let me add `general` as the positional profile to all four:
Another bare-invocation test. Let me find it.
Several `review/cmd_test.go` tests run bare non-interactively. Let me see all bare invocations and the profile name they configure.
`seedReviewConfig` and the context settings both use the `general` profile. The bare-invocation tests relied on auto-default. Let me identify each test at those lines (some may intentionally test the no-profile path) before editing.
All 13 are run-the-profile tests using the `general` profile — none test the no-profile path. Let me add `general` to each.
Two more with a different `--agent` value. Let me find and fix them.
Line 203 is the `--findings` table test (not a run) — fine to leave. Let me re-run.
All green. Let me add a regression test locking the new non-interactive bare behavior. Let me view a template test's setup.
`errcheck` flags the ignored marker error. Let me handle it.
All green, lint clean. Let me commit and push.
Done — pushed to `review-profiles` (`7ebae0894`).
## New behavior for bare `entire scout`
It never silently runs a default crew anymore:
| invocation | behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `entire scout ` | runs that profile (unchanged) |
| `entire scout` — interactive, profiles exist | **chooser** — lists profiles (default pre-selected), runs the pick |
| `entire scout` — interactive, no profiles | first-run setup (unchanged) |
| `entire scout` — **non-interactive, no profile** | **lists profiles + errors** (must name one) |
Interactive chooser:
```
? Which profile should scout the branch?
> general (default) — claude-code, codex, gemini
security — claude-code
```
Non-interactive (CI / agent host):
```
Specify a profile to scout, e.g. `entire scout general`.
Configured profiles: general, security
```
→ exits non-zero, spawns nothing.
## Implementation
- Non-interactive bare → error with the profile list (before any setup/run).
- Interactive bare with profiles → new `promptForProfileToRun` chooser.
- First-run setup sets the chosen profile so the chooser doesn't double-prompt.
- Updated the existing smoke/dispatch tests to name `general` explicitly, and added `TestRunReview_BareNonInteractiveRequiresProfile` to lock the new behavior (asserts it errors, lists profiles, and starts no review).
Build, tests, lint (0 issues) green.
Note: `review-profiles` has now moved several commits past **#1313** (`review-pi-reviewer`). Whenever you want, I can re-rebase that Pi stack onto the current tip so it stays clean.

How to trigger non-interactive!???
1mo ago·23.4s·1 call
Let me check exactly what the code uses to decide, so I can tell you precisely how to trigger it.
Here's exactly what flips it. The scout flow treats a run as non-interactive when **either** check fails:
```
1
interactiveTTY := interactive.IsTerminalWriter(out) && interactive.CanPromptInteractively()
```
- `IsTerminalWriter(out)` → false when **stdout isn't a terminal** (piped/redirected).
- `CanPromptInteractively()` → false when any of: `CI` is set (non-empty, not `false`), running under `go test`, **invoked as an agent subprocess** (Claude Code/Codex/etc.), `/dev/tty` can't be opened, or the `ENTIRE_TEST_TTY` override is non-`1`.
## How to trigger it manually
Easiest:
```
1
2
3
4
entire scout | cat # stdout not a TTY → non-interactive
entire scout > out.txt # same
CI=1 entire scout # CI env → non-interactive
ENTIRE_TEST_TTY=0 entire scout # explicit override
```
Any of those → you'll get:
```
Specify a profile to scout, e.g. `entire scout general`.
Configured profiles: general, security
```
(exit non-zero, nothing spawned).
## When it happens "for real"
- **CI** pipelines (`CI` is set; output captured).
- **An agent invoking it** — e.g. Claude Code running `entire scout` as a command (`isAgentSubprocessEnv()` → true), stdin/stdout not a terminal.
- **cron / systemd / Docker without `-t`** — no controlling terminal.
- Anything that **pipes or redirects** scout's output.
So to see the interactive chooser, just run `entire scout` directly in your terminal; to see the non-interactive list+error, pipe it (`entire scout | cat`) or set `CI=1`.
Want me to make the non-interactive message even more explicit (e.g., also print the exact `entire scout ` for each configured profile)?
Change the command to "inspect".

Renaming `scout` → `inspect`. Let me find every occurrence (the command name lives only in strings/comments).
Many occurrences, all in strings/comments. Let me rename `scout` → `inspect` across the non-test files, then fix the alias and tests.

All three names work. Now fix test assertions referencing `scout`:
Let me check docs and the rest of the repo for any `scout` references.
No `scout` in docs. Let me do a final full check and commit.

## Renamed `scout` → `inspect`
`entire inspect` is now the primary command. Verified all three work:

- All help text, guidance strings, error messages (e.g. `entire inspect `, `entire inspect --configure`, `--list`, the bare-invocation list, findings footer).
- The labs entry (`inspect` / `entire inspect`).
- `ModelLister` doc comment, `reviewCommandBinary`, `root.go` comment.
- Test assertions (labs, manifest, cmd).
The only remaining `scout` strings are the intentional alias and its comment. Internal package/identifiers (`review` package, settings keys, env vars) are unchanged — branding only, no behavior change.
Build, tests, lint (0 issues) green.

Analyze the difference of inspect to the review and investigate commands.
1mo ago·14.1s·3 calls
Let me ground this in the actual code rather than guessing — I'll look at the `investigate` command and compare it to the `inspect`/`review` engine.
Let me confirm the execution model (turn-based loop vs parallel fan-out) and shared infrastructure.
Key clarification first: **`inspect` _is_`review`** — same command, same `review` package/engine; `review` is just a back-compat alias. So there's no behavioral difference between `inspect` and `review`. The real comparison is **inspect/review vs investigate**.
Both are hidden labs, multi-agent, "against the current branch," and share a lot of plumbing — but they answer different questions with different execution models.
## Purpose
| | `inspect` (review) | `investigate` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Question | "Is **this change** good?" — evaluate the branch diff | "What's going on with **this topic**?" — open-ended inquiry |
| Output shape | a **verdict/report** (evaluative) | a **findings document** (evidence/analysis, exploratory) |
| Anchored to | the diff/scope (`--base`) | a seed: doc, issue/PR link, or a typed prompt |
## Execution model (the biggest difference)
- **inspect = parallel fan-out, one round.** All worker slots run **concurrently** on the same task (`RunMulti`), then a **single standalone master** synthesizes their reports into a final verdict. Workers don't see each other; the master judges.
- **investigate = sequential round-robin loop.** Agents take **turns** appending to a **shared findings document** (`loop.go`), single-threaded for deterministic ordering. It iterates over `--max-turns` until a **`--quorum`** of agents approve (or it stalls). Peers collaborate and converge; **no master** — termination is vote-based.
## Inputs & flags
- **inspect:** a **profile** (workers + master), `--base`, `--prompt`, `--agent`/`--model`, `--list`, `--configure`/`--edit`, `--findings`. Bare run requires picking a profile.
- **investigate:** a **seed** — `[seed-doc]`, `--issue-link `, or interactive topic — plus `--agents`, `--max-turns`, `--quorum`, `--continue `, `--edit`, `--findings`, `--allow-untrusted-seed`.
## State, resumability, subcommands
- **inspect:** one-shot. Produces per-agent reports + master synthesis + a findings manifest. No run id, not resumable; manual tagging via `entire attach --review`.
- **investigate:** a **persistent run with an id** — resumable via `--continue`, with `fix` (launch a coding agent grounded in the findings), `show`, and `clean` subcommands. It maintains loop state (`state.json`, recorded turn "stances").
## Roles & termination
- **inspect:** workers + a distinct **master/judge**; finishes when workers complete and the master synthesizes once.
- **investigate:** equal **peers**; finishes on **quorum/turn-budget/stall**.
## Security
- **investigate** has `--allow-untrusted-seed`: an `--issue-link` pulls **attacker-influenced GitHub content** and agents run with permission/sandbox bypass, so non-interactive issue-link runs are refused without the flag.
- **inspect** reviews your own diff — lower injection surface (no external seed).
## What they share
Both spawn agent CLIs and tag the resulting session via an **env-var handshake** read by the lifecycle hook — `ENTIRE_REVIEW_*` → `Kind=agent_review` (`adoptReviewEnv`) vs `ENTIRE_INVESTIGATE_*` → `Kind=agent_investigate` (`adoptInvestigateEnv`); review wins if both are somehow set. Both record onto `entire/checkpoints/v1`, both have TUI dashboards/sinks, multi-agent pickers, `--edit` config, and `--findings` browsers. So architecturally they're siblings built on the same multi-agent substrate.
## When to use which
- Changed code and want a **graded review/verdict** → **inspect**.
- Have a **bug, question, incident, or issue** and want agents to **dig in, gather evidence, and converge on findings** (then optionally `fix`) → **investigate**.
### One honest observation
Both Long descriptions now say "against the current branch," and `inspect`'s even says workers " **inspect** the change" — so the surface framing overlaps and could confuse users. The crisp mental distinction worth surfacing in help: **inspect = parallel evaluation of a diff → verdict; investigate = iterative, quorum-driven inquiry into a topic → findings.** If you want, I can sharpen the two `Short`/`Long` strings so the difference is obvious at `--help`.
What's the difference though?
1mo ago·6m
Stripped down, it's one thing: **what the agents are doing.**
- **inspect** — agents look at your **diff in parallel, once**; a master **grades it**. → You get a **verdict on a code change**.
- **investigate** — agents take **turns** building a shared findings doc, **looping until they vote to stop**. → You get a **researched answer to a question**.
So:
- Point it at a **change** → inspect. Point it at a **question/issue** → investigate.
- **Parallel + judge** (one round) → inspect. **Sequential + quorum** (many rounds) → investigate.
- Output is a **grade/report** → inspect. Output is **accumulated evidence** → investigate.
That's the whole difference. Everything else (profiles, TUI, env handshake, checkpoints) is shared plumbing.

"looping until they vote to stop" explain this more
1mo ago·7.7s·2 calls
Let me read the actual loop logic so I explain it precisely, not hand-wave.
Here's the actual mechanism (from `investigate/loop.go`):
## Each turn, an agent casts a "stance"
Agents run **round-robin, one at a time**. On its turn an agent reads the shared findings doc, appends its evidence/analysis, and records a **stance** — one of:
- `approve` — "I'm satisfied; we can stop."
- `request-changes` — "not done, here's what's missing."
- `reject` — "this is wrong."
That stance is the agent's vote, recorded as a `TurnStance`.
## A "round" is one full pass through all agents
The loop only checks for termination at the **end of a round** (when it wraps back to the first agent):
```
1
2
3
4
5
if state.NextAgentIdx == 0 {
if approveCountInRound(state.Stances, outcome.round) >= quorum {
return OutcomeQuorum // success — they agreed
}
}
```
So it counts the **`approve` votes in that round**. If they reach **`--quorum`** (default = **all agents**), the run ends successfully (`OutcomeQuorum`). If not, it starts another round — the doc has grown, and everyone re-votes on the new state.
## The "vote to stop" is re-cast every round
It's not a one-time vote. Each round the shared findings evolve, and every agent votes again. Consensus has to hold **in a single round** — e.g. with quorum = all, every agent must `approve` in the same pass. One `request-changes` keeps the investigation going.
## What ends it besides agreement
- **Quorum reached** → `OutcomeQuorum` (the "they voted to stop" case).
- **Turn budget exhausted** → `OutcomeStalled`. Total turns are capped at `--max-turns` × number of agents (default 2 each). Findings exist, but no consensus was reached.
- **Repeated failures** → `OutcomePaused` (resumable via `--continue`).
- **Ctrl-C / cancel** → `OutcomeCancelled`.
So " **looping until they vote to stop**" = the agents keep taking turns enriching a shared doc, and each round they re-vote; the loop exits the moment enough of them `approve` in the same round — or it gives up when the turn budget runs out.
Contrast with **inspect**: there's no voting or rounds — workers run once in parallel and a master writes the verdict. `investigate` is the iterative, consensus-driven one.
What exactly are they voting on? Make a simple example how it works and what makes them "continue".
1mo ago·37.4s·2 calls
Let me check what the agents are actually asked to decide — the prompt defines the vote's meaning.
Now it's concrete. Here's exactly what the vote means and a worked example.
## What they're voting on
**Whether the shared findings document is complete and correct** — i.e., "is this investigation _done and right_?" Not the code, not each other — the **state of the findings doc** (its root cause / conclusion). The prompt pins the meaning:
- **`approve`** — _only_ if "you have independently verified all findings and confirm the investigation is complete and correct."
- **`request-changes`** — "remaining gaps, unverified claims, or alternative explanations not yet considered."
- **`reject`** — "fundamentally wrong (e.g. wrong root cause)."
Each turn an agent: reads the whole doc → does its own digging → edits/refines the findings (with file:line evidence, a TLDR, a diagram) → casts its stance.
## Worked example
**Question:** "Why do image uploads intermittently fail?"
**Crew:** claude-code + codex (2 agents) · quorum = all (default 2) · max-turns = 2 each (so ≤ 2 rounds).
**Round 1**
- **claude-code** reads the empty doc, investigates, writes _Finding 1: uploads >5 MB hit a 10 s client timeout; no S3 multipart (upload.go:42)_, fills the TLDR. → **`request-changes`** ("need to confirm retries' role").
- **codex** reads the doc, confirms Finding 1, adds _Finding 2: retry retries the whole upload, amplifying load (retry.go:88)_. → **`request-changes`** ("timeout value's source still unverified").
End of round 1: **0 approves** of 2 needed → **continue.** ⟳
**Round 2**
- **claude-code** verifies Finding 2, traces the 10 s timeout to a config default (config.go:15), marks everything verified, rewrites the TLDR as a direct answer. → **`approve`**.
- **codex** independently re-checks, agrees. → **`approve`**.
End of round 2: **2 approves ≥ quorum 2** → **`OutcomeQuorum`, stop.** ✅
## What makes them "continue" vs stop
- **Continue:** a round finishes **without** enough `approve` votes. With quorum = all, a _single_`request-changes`/`reject` forces another round. Agents vote that way whenever there are gaps, unverified claims, or unconsidered alternatives — so the loop keeps going until everything is independently confirmed.
- **Stop (success):** enough agents `approve` **in the same round** (they agree it's complete + correct).
- **Stop (stall):** the turn budget runs out first (`max-turns × agents`) — e.g., if in round 2 codex had found the timeout was actually 30 s (contradicting Finding 1) and voted `request-changes`, round 2 is also the last round, so it ends **`OutcomeStalled`**: findings exist, but no consensus.
So the "vote" is really a per-round consensus check on _"have we nailed the answer and verified it?"_ — and disagreement (anything other than approve) is what keeps them looping.
Ok but why do they need round 2 if they know what's missing and not just do it as part of round 1? Like what's the point of this? There's no "challenger" that questions the findings and no validation either, it's still single agents just looping (which they already do) to fill some information into a combined doc?
1mo ago·1m
You've identified real weaknesses. Let me separate the part that's a genuine structural reason from the part where your critique lands.
## Why round 2 is structurally forced (the one real reason)
An agent only sees the findings that existed **before its turn**. So the _last_ finding added in round 1 has been seen by no one else — it's unverified. And an agent can't honestly satisfy the `approve` rule ("I independently verified **all** findings") for a finding **it just wrote itself** — self-verification isn't independent.
So "everyone has independently checked the complete set" is _impossible_ to reach in round 1 by construction: verification always lags contribution by at least one turn. Round 2 is the first point where every agent has seen the final doc. That's the only hard reason rounds exist.
And to your "why not just do it in round 1" — an agent _can_ fill the gap it spots, but then **its own fix is the unverified thing**. The model is "propose, and let someone else confirm," not "do it all yourself."
## Where your critique is correct
Pretty much everywhere else:
- **No dedicated challenger.** Every agent runs the _same_ prompt — "contribute + verify + vote." There's no red-team role whose job is to _falsify_ the conclusion. The only "challenge" is an optional `request-changes`, and the whole loop is biased toward `approve` because that's what terminates it.
- **"Validation" is soft, and anchoring works against it.** The 2nd agent reads the 1st's findings before forming its "independent" opinion. LLMs anchor on and agree with provided context — so "I independently verified all findings" easily degrades into rubber-stamping. The mechanism _asks_ for independence; it doesn't _enforce_ it (no blind re-derivation, no required disconfirmation attempt).
- **It is sequential single-agent turns + a vote.** You're right. There's no debate, no defend/rebut exchange, no agent forced to argue the opposing case. It's an ensemble writing into one doc with a consensus gate bolted on.
## So what's the actual point (honestly, modest)
Two things, and only two:
1. **Cross- _model_ heterogeneity.** codex re-checking claude catches different errors than claude re-checking claude (different training, different blind spots). That's a real but limited ensemble benefit.
2. **A consensus gate** that blocks a single model's premature/overconfident conclusion from being the answer, plus a persistent, evidence-cited audit doc.
That's it. It's "ensemble + vote + shared scratchpad," not "adversarial validation."
## If the goal is real validation
The design that would deliver what you're implying is missing:
- a **dedicated skeptic/red-team turn** that must try to _break_ the current conclusion (find a counterexample, a contradicting commit/test) rather than approve;
- **blind contribution** (form your hypothesis before reading others') to kill anchoring;
- an explicit **defend-then-revise** exchange, not a silent vote.
As built, `investigate` doesn't do any of those — so your read is fair: it's mostly parallel-ish single agents looping into a shared doc, with cross-model verification that's weaker in practice than the prompt claims. The strongest honest justification for the loop is just "a different model independently re-touched every finding before we accepted it."
All right, so we could also adjust "inspect" to have a group of masters instead? Spec out how that could look like concise and simple please.
1mo ago·1m
Here's a concise spec for **`inspect` with a master panel** (instead of a single master). It directly addresses the validation gap: multiple judges, cross-model, with dissent surfaced.
## Schema (reuse the slot model)
```

ReviewProfileConfig{
Agents map[string]ReviewConfig // workers (unchanged)
Masters []ReviewConfig // NEW: panel of masters (each = agent + model)
Chair string // NEW, optional: which master writes the final merge
}
// back-compat: old MasterAgent/MasterModel == Masters with one entry, no Chair
```
Masters are just slots, like workers — reuse `workerIDForAgentModel`, the crew picker, and `profileMasterIdentity`.
## Flow
1. **Workers** run in parallel → worker reports _(unchanged)._
2. **Master panel** runs in parallel: each master independently reads **all** worker reports and writes its **own verdict** (different models → different blind spots).
3. **Chair merge**(only if ≥2 masters):
- the chair reads the **panel verdicts** and writes the single **final verdict**, explicitly calling out where masters **agreed vs disagreed**.
- 1 master → its verdict is final (today's behavior). ≥2 masters, no chair → show all verdicts + a one-line consensus/divergence note, no merge.
## Output
- **Final verdict** (chair's, or the lone master's).
- **Panel appendix**: each master's verdict verbatim, so dissent is visible, not hidden.
## Config surfaces
- **Guided:** master step becomes "Add masters" (the existing slot list) + "Choose chair" when ≥2.
- **Scripted:**`--set-master agent[=model]` repeatable (panel); `--set-chair agent[=model]`.
- **`--list`:** shows `masters: claude·opus, codex·gpt-5 (chair: claude·opus)`.
## Example
```
workers: claude·sonnet, codex, gemini → 3 reports
masters: claude·opus, codex·gpt-5 (chair: claude·opus)
panel:
claude·opus → "Ship. 2 minor nits."
codex·gpt-5 → "Block: race in cache.go:88 the workers missed."
chair (claude·opus) → final:
"Block. Panel split: codex flagged a race in cache.go:88; I verified it.
Otherwise minor nits."
```
The split is the point — a second judge caught something the first (and the workers) missed, and the chair reconciles into one actionable verdict.
## Why it's better than one master
- Cross-model judging at the **verdict** stage, not just workers.
- **Disagreement is surfaced** (the challenge/validation the single master lacked).
- Still yields **one verdict** via the chair, so it stays actionable.
## Effort
Small: synthesis already exists (`AgentSynthesisProvider`) — run it once per master (parallel), then one extra synthesis pass for the chair over the verdicts. Masters reuse the slot/picker plumbing. Mostly a schema field + a second synthesis stage in `runMultiAgentPath`.
Want me to implement it (schema + panel/chair synthesis + config surfaces)?
Instead of "masters" let's do maybe "judges" instead? That would be more fitting no? And "workers" would be more like "investigators"? WDYT?
1mo ago·3m
Half yes, half I'd push back.
**`masters` → `judges`: yes, strongly.** It's exactly what they do — weigh the reports and render a verdict. It also kills the baggage of "master," and the panel reads perfectly: a **panel of judges** with a **chair** (presiding judge). Very coherent.
**`workers` → `investigators`: no — that's the one to avoid.** Two problems:
1. **It collides head-on with the `investigate` command.** We already flagged that inspect and investigate sound too alike; calling inspect's workers "investigators" makes them basically indistinguishable. "Investigator" should belong to `investigate`.
2. **It misdescribes them.** In `inspect` they examine a _specific diff_ and report — that's inspection/review, not open-ended investigation.
**Better fit: `inspectors`** (or `reviewers`). Since the command is `inspect`, **inspectors inspect → judges rule** is clean, self-consistent, and keeps the two commands' vocabularies separate:
| command | does what | the agents | the deciders |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `inspect` | grade a change | **inspectors** | **judges** (\+ chair) |
| `investigate` | research a question | **investigators** | (no deciders — peers + quorum) |
So my recommendation:
- **judges** (\+ **chair**) ✓
- **inspectors** for the workers (reserve "investigators" for the other command)
If you want a stricter single courtroom metaphor you could do "examiners + judges," but I think **inspectors + judges** reads most naturally for a command literally named `inspect`.
Want me to spec/implement with `inspectors` \+ `judges` (\+ `chair`)?
Ignore the investigate command for the momemtn. Would worker or investigator or inspector be best? Keep in mind the command is inspect.
1mo ago·43.0s
**`inspector`** — clearly the best of the three.
Reasoning:
- **Matches the command.**`entire inspect` → inspectors. Verb-and-actor agree, so it's self-documenting; no one has to learn a mapping.
- **Semantically exact.** An inspector examines a specific thing against criteria and flags problems — that's precisely what these agents do to a diff. (An _investigator_ digs into an open unknown; that's a different, broader activity even setting the other command aside — it overstates what's happening here.)
- **Pairs cleanly with judges.** "Inspectors examine → judges rule" is one coherent assessment metaphor.
Ranking for `inspect`:
1. **inspector** — best fit, on-theme, accurate.
2. **worker** — safe and clear, but generic/bland and connects to nothing; "workers + judges" mixes a labor metaphor with a court one.
3. **investigator** — weakest: implies open-ended inquiry rather than evaluating a known change.
So: **inspectors + judges (+ chair).**
Let's do it. Implement the judges and make the semantic changes.

This is a sizable feature. Let me look at the current synthesis machinery to see how much the panel/chair changes, then implement.
This is a substantial feature. I'll build it in a clear order: schema → resolution → panel/chair synthesis (with tests) → wire into the run path → config surfaces → terminology renames. Let me start.
**1\. Schema** — add `Judges` \+ `Chair` (keep legacy master fields for back-compat):
**2\. Resolution** — `profileJudges` \+ reimplement `profileMasterIdentity` on top of it. Let me view the current resolution code:
**3\. Panel/chair synthesis** — new `synthesis_panel.go`:
Panel logic works. **4\. Wire into `runMultiAgentPath`** — build the panel provider from the judges:
Build passes; two now-dead helpers. Let me remove them.
Now update the multi-agent validation to require **all** judges be text-gen capable (not just the chair). Let me find it:
The new all-judges text-gen gate is stricter than before and breaks tests that use stub agents (the legacy worker-master path was never text-gen-validated). Since the panel already drops incapable judges at runtime and single-judge synthesis fails gracefully, I'll keep just the "has a judge" check and drop the hard text-gen gate:
Now fix the wrapcheck lint in the panel passthrough:
The core engine is done and tested. Now the config surfaces. Let me look at the scripted-config plumbing to add `--set-judge`/`--set-chair`.
Now the scripted surface. Let me view `scripted()` and the configure construction:
Now update `buildConfiguredProfile` to handle judges:
Tests reference the removed `reviewConfigureOptions.Master`. Let me view and update them.
`gocritic` wants a switch. Let me convert it:
Core engine + scripted config are working. Let me add a panel-config test, then commit this slice before tackling the guided picker + remaining renames.
Use the existing test constants:
Solid, tested slice. Let me commit the engine + scripted config, then continue with the guided picker and remaining renames.
Now the guided picker. Let me read the current crew picker so I can extract a reusable slot-list and add a judges picker.
Now I'll extract a reusable `pickSlotList` and refactor `promptForReviewCrew`, then add `promptForJudges`:
Now replace `promptForStandaloneMaster` with a judges-panel picker, and update the guided-setup call site:
Now update the guided-setup call site to use `promptForJudges`:
Now the remaining terminology in user-facing strings. Let me find `worker`/`master` in string literals (not identifiers/JSON):
Let me update the `--list` output to show inspectors + the judge panel, then batch the remaining string renames.
Now batch the remaining user-facing string renames in `cmd.go`, `picker.go`, `profile.go`:
Let me update the command's `Long` help text (worker→inspector, master→judge):
Let me smoke-test the help/list output, then commit.
Looks good. Full test sweep, then commit.
72 ok, 0 failures. Committing the guided picker + terminology renames.
Both parts are done and pushed to `review-profiles`.
## What shipped
**Judges panel (feature)** — commit `2595b9efb`:
- **Schema:**`ReviewProfileConfig.Judges []ReviewConfig` \+ `Chair` (legacy `Master`/`MasterAgent` kept for back-compat).
- **`profileJudges`** resolves the panel + chair index.
- **`PanelSynthesisProvider`**: judges synthesize in parallel → chair merges into one final verdict, with each judge's verdict appended as a **Panel** and dissent surfaced. Failed judges are dropped; all-fail errors. Unit-tested with stub providers.
- **Run path** builds the panel; single judge collapses to today's behavior.
- **Scripted:**`--set-judge` (repeatable) + `--set-chair` (replacing `--set-master`).
**Guided picker + terminology** — commit `1fa7124ba`:
- Guided setup configures a **judge panel**: a single-screen add/edit/remove list (reused `pickSlotList`) \+ chair pick when ≥2, seeded from the existing profile.
- **Renames:** workers → **inspectors**, master → **judge** across help, flags, `--list`, the focus step, and error messages. (Go identifiers + legacy `Master` JSON keys untouched.)
Verified:
```
$ entire inspect --list
general (default)
inspectors: claude-code · default, codex · default, gemini · default
judges: Claude Code
```
And help now reads "inspector agents inspect … a panel of judges renders the final verdict (a chair merges …)."
Full suite: **72 packages ok, 0 failures**, lint clean.
Configure a panel:
```
1
2
3
4
entire inspect --configure --profile sec \
--set-agents claude-code,codex,gemini \
--set-judge claude-code=opus --set-judge codex=gpt-5 \
--set-chair claude-code=opus
```
Note: this is a big terminology/feature change on `review-profiles`, so **#1313** (the Pi stack) is now significantly behind — let me know when to re-rebase it.

The architecture doc is badly stale (still `entire review`, master/worker, `--set-master`, `review attach`). Let me read it fully and bring it in line.
This doc needs a full refresh. Let me check for references to its path before deciding whether to rename it, then rewrite.
I'll keep the filename (package is still `review`, and `CLAUDE.md` links it) but rewrite the content for the current state.
Let me update the CLAUDE.md reference line to match:
Let me add a clarifying comment about the chair's double role (a likely review question) and scan for other stale terminology in docs.
No other stale docs. Now add the clarifying comment about the chair's two passes:
Let me scan `cmd.go` for any remaining user-facing `master`/`worker` text in the list/catalog helpers:
Two legacy leftovers (`[master]` marker, `master=` catalog line). Let me view the catalog block and fix both:
A test asserts the removed `[master]` marker. Let me view and update it.
All green. Final sweep — gofmt, full test suite, and lint on touched packages:
Let me lint the `cli` package too (touched via merge/earlier changes), then commit.
All clean. Committing the self-review fixes (the merge commit is already in place):

The branch ref may just be a stale local tracking ref. Let me first re-confirm tests pass, and fetch the real remote state.
The branch is in fact pushed — `git ls-remote` shows `origin/review-profiles = ead8c12dc`, matching local HEAD. The earlier "Everything up-to-date" was correct; only the local tracking ref was stale, and the `signal: killed` was Entire's separate **checkpoint-remote** sync (unrelated to the branch push). Let me refresh the tracking ref to confirm.
All green and pushed.
## Status
**Tests:**`go test ./...` → **72 packages ok, 0 failures** **Lint:**`golangci-lint` → 0 issues on touched packages (`review`, `settings`, `cli`)
**gofmt:** clean
**Branch:** local `HEAD` == `origin/review-profiles` == `ead8c12dc` ✓ **in sync**
The earlier `signal: killed` / "Everything up-to-date" was just Entire's **checkpoint-remote** sync hook (a separate, best-effort push of `entire/checkpoints/v1`) being killed — your actual code branch pushed fine, which `git ls-remote` confirmed.
## What landed this round
1. **Merged `origin/main`** (35 commits, incl. the new `attribution.go`/trail work) — clean merge, no conflicts (`134efa937`).
2. **Self-review fixes** (`ead8c12dc`):
- Rewrote `docs/architecture/review-command.md` for `entire inspect` (review alias), inspectors + judge panel + chair, `--list`, bare-invocation selection, panel synthesis, `judges`/`chair` schema, removed `review attach`, accurate ModelLister status.
- Synced the `CLAUDE.md` summary.
- Dropped the legacy `[master]` marker in `--agents`; show `judges=` in the `--configure` catalog; fixed the stale comment.
- Documented the chair's two passes in `PanelSynthesisProvider`.
- Updated the affected test.
Checkpoint sync to your remote is failing (`git push: signal: killed`) — that's an infra/access issue with the configured checkpoint remote, not your branch. Let me know if you want me to look into it.

It covers:
- **TL;DR + status** (branch `review-profiles` @ `ead8c12dc`, green build/tests/lint, pushed).
- **Final terminology** (inspectors / judges / chair; `inspect` command, `review` alias, `scout` removed; internal keys still `review_*`).
- **Command surface** and **settings schema** with examples (incl. back-compat for legacy `master`).
- **How the judge panel works** — `profileJudges`, `PanelSynthesisProvider`, the deliberate chair-runs-twice behavior, graceful degradation.
- **Done** checklist and **Pending/next steps** (top item: rebase PR #1313 `review-pi-reviewer` onto `ead8c12dc`; Pi is the natural first real second judge).
- **Key files**, **verify commands**, and **gotchas** (the checkpoint-remote push noise vs. actual branch push).

Those other modified files appeared unexpectedly and I committed them under a misleading message. Let me inspect what actually changed before deciding how to fix the commit.
These are substantive, intended code changes (dead `--fix` manifest lookup removed, `IsZero` fixed for judges/chair, picker/manifest cleanup) — but I wrongly bundled them under the "handoff doc" message. Let me undo that commit, verify they build/test, then split into honest commits.
Builds and tests pass. Let me review the remaining changed files to write an accurate message, then run full lint/tests.
Coherent cleanup. Let me run full tests + lint, then split into two honest commits.
72 ok, 0 fail, 0 lint issues. Now split into two commits and push.
Done. Working tree is clean, everything committed and pushed.
## Result
- **Pushed:**`ead8c12dc..d93bcfb1d` → `origin/review-profiles`; local == remote == `d93bcfb1d` ✓
- Checkpoint remote also synced (`done`).
## Two honest commits (I unbundled my earlier mislabeled commit)
1. **`007228bd8` — Inspect cleanup: drop dead `--fix` manifest lookup, fix `IsZero` for judges**
- Removed the unused `resolveLocalReviewManifestBySessionID` \+ its tests (leftover from the removed `entire review --fix`).
- Updated the `agentlaunch` package doc (now `entire investigate fix` only).
- Fixed `ReviewProfileConfig.IsZero` to count `judges`/`chair`/`master_agent` so judge-only profiles aren't treated as empty.
- Wording/test tidy-ups; `t.Parallel()` on panel tests.
2. **`d93bcfb1d` — Add inspect + judge-panel handoff doc** (`docs/handoff/inspect-judges-handoff.md`)
## Checks
- `go build ./...` ✓
- `go test ./...` → **72 ok, 0 fail** ✓
- `golangci-lint` (review, cli, settings, agentlaunch) → **0 issues** ✓
Note: I caught that those cleanup changes had appeared in the working tree and I'd initially committed them under the wrong (handoff-doc) message — I reset and re-split them so history is accurate. They're legitimate and consistent with the judge work, build clean, and are now properly described.
