# Pre-Publish Review — 16-Agent Release Gate
Three-layer review before publishing to npm. Every layer covers a different angle — together they catch what no single reviewer could.
| Layer | Agents | Type | What They Check |
|-------|--------|------|-----------------|
| Per-Change Deep Dive | up to 10 | ultrabrain | Each logical change group individually — correctness, edge cases, pattern adherence |
{GROUP_COMMITS — hash and message for each commit in this group}
</commits>
<changed_files>
{GROUP_FILES — files changed in this group}
</changed_files>
<diff>
{GROUP_DIFF — only the diff for this group's files}
</diff>
<file_contents>
{Read and include full content of each changed file in this group}
</file_contents>
You are reviewing a specific subset of changes heading into an npm release. Focus exclusively on THIS change group. Other groups are reviewed by parallel agents.
ANALYSIS CHECKLIST:
1. **Intent Clarity**: What is this change trying to do? Is the intent clear from the code and commit messages? If you have to guess, that's a finding.
2. **Correctness**: Trace through the logic for 3+ scenarios. Does the code actually do what it claims? Off-by-one errors, null handling, async edge cases, resource cleanup.
3. **Breaking Changes**: Does this change alter any public API, config format, CLI behavior, or hook contract? If yes, is it backward compatible? Would existing users be surprised?
4. **Pattern Adherence**: Does the new code follow the established patterns visible in the existing file contents? New patterns where old ones exist = finding.
5. **Edge Cases**: What inputs or conditions would break this? Empty arrays, undefined values, concurrent calls, very large inputs, missing config fields.
6. **Error Handling**: Are errors properly caught and propagated? No empty catch blocks? No swallowed promises?
7. **Type Safety**: Any `as any`, `@ts-ignore`, `@ts-expect-error`? Loose typing where strict is possible?
8. **Test Coverage**: Are the behavioral changes covered by tests? Are the tests meaningful or just coverage padding?
9. **Side Effects**: Could this change break something in a different module? Check imports and exports — who depends on what changed?
10. **Release Risk**: On a scale of SAFE / CAUTION / RISKY — how confident are you this change won't cause issues in production?
OUTPUT FORMAT:
<group_name>{GROUP_NAME}</group_name>
<verdict>PASS or FAIL</verdict>
<risk>SAFE / CAUTION / RISKY</risk>
<summary>2-3 sentence assessment of this change group</summary>
<has_breaking_changes>YES or NO</has_breaking_changes>
<breaking_change_details>If YES, describe what breaks and for whom</breaking_change_details>
<findings>
For each finding:
- [CRITICAL/MAJOR/MINOR] Category: Description
- File: path (line range)
- Evidence: specific code reference
- Suggestion: how to fix
</findings>
<blocking_issues>Issues that MUST be fixed before publish. Empty if PASS.</blocking_issues>

### Layer 2: Holistic Review via /review-work (5 agents)
Spawn a sub-agent that loads the `/review-work` skill. The review-work skill internally launches 5 parallel agents: Oracle (goal verification), unspecified-high (QA execution), Oracle (code quality), Oracle (security), unspecified-high (context mining). All 5 must pass for the review to pass.
```
task(
category="unspecified-high",
run_in_background=true,
load_skills=["review-work"],
description="Run /review-work on all unpublished changes",
prompt="""
Run /review-work on the unpublished changes between v{PUBLISHED} and HEAD.
BACKGROUND: Pre-publish review of oh-my-openagent, an OpenCode plugin with 1268 TypeScript files, 160k LOC. Changes since v{PUBLISHED} are about to be published.
{CHANGED_FILES — full list of modified file paths}
</changed_files>
<full_diff>
{FULL_DIFF — the complete git diff between published version and HEAD}
</full_diff>
<file_contents>
{Read and include full content of KEY changed files — focus on public API surfaces, config schemas, agent definitions, hook registrations, tool registrations}
</file_contents>
You are the final gate before an npm publish. 10 ultrabrain agents are reviewing individual changes and 5 review-work agents are doing holistic review. Your job is the bird's-eye view that those focused reviews might miss.
SYNTHESIS CHECKLIST:
1. **Release Coherence**: Do these changes tell a coherent story? Or is this a grab-bag of unrelated changes that should be split into multiple releases?
2. **Version Bump**: Based on semver:
- PATCH: Bug fixes only, no behavior changes
- MINOR: New features, backward-compatible changes
- MAJOR: Breaking changes to public API, config format, or behavior
Recommend the correct bump with specific justification.
3. **Breaking Changes Audit**: Exhaustively list every change that could break existing users. Check:
