The agent file had drifted from the skill it delegates to, in two ways that
would corrupt a review run.
Report target: the agent said write reports to ./docs, but the skill targets
./docs/reviews/<date>-code-review.md and explicitly marks docs/reviews/** as
non-canonical. Following the agent would place a dated, opinionated review
inside the canonical authority set that findings are supposed to resolve
against.
Verification commands: the agent said run 'ruff check', 'pytest', and 'ty'.
None are on PATH in this uv project, so an agent following its own instruction
gets command-not-found and is pushed toward guessing instead of verifying.
The agent now defers to the skill for all specifics rather than restating them,
which is what let the two copies drift apart. Also carries forward the
consumer-tracing rule and states the read-only scope explicitly.
