Part A: a model reviews your partner's work
You get a second opinion from a model on your partner’s work. Model review is advisory, and your own decision stays the only acceptance.
Principles in play: Review against sources, Accept independently.
Needs: the hour behind you; the second model also needs your OpenRouter key.
What you do
Section titled “What you do”-
Say to your agent Review my partner’s candidate with the review skill, trace-review, against the task in the workshop guide and its source, and show me the row.
If the reviewer cannot be started, your agent says which step failed and stops.
-
Read the review your agent copies into your sandbox as
review-of-A.mdorreview-of-B.md. Each finding is labelled by whether its quote is in the candidate word for word. -
Open
ai/records/acceptances.jsonl. The new row says model review; your own row is still the only decision. -
If your OpenRouter key is in
.envafterOPENROUTER_API_KEY=:Say to your agent Prepare a packet for the second model on the same candidate, and show me what would be sent.
You choose the model; the workshop suggests glm5.3 or kimi k3.
-
Say to your agent I have read the draft. Finalize it in my name, Your Name, then commit and push.
Ask your agent
Section titled “Ask your agent”- Which of the findings quote the candidate word for word, and which do not?
- Whose name is on the review row, whose is on the decision row, and which is an acceptance?
- Is the review row marked self-review, and why?
What you can say now
Section titled “What you can say now”A model reviewed my partner’s work against a criterion and its sources: that is R, review against sources. Its row says model review, which is advisory. My own row is still the only decision, made by someone independent of production: that is A, accept independently, left with the person.
