# Task review

A task is not done because its executor says so. This skill reads what the work left behind against the signal written before it started, judges the goal and the convention separately, and records both. The axes, the four verdicts, and the shape of `## Review` are the `task` skill's.

## When it runs

A run has finished the work and written `Result`. A task reviewed again after a fix is reviewed by the same rules.

## Who reviews

The owner reviews and closes. The owner may be the agent that did the work, when that agent runs the owner's task; a run that is not the owner's stops at `Result` and reports. The owner may reopen a ticket it closed.

## Steps

1. **Read the ticket**: `Action`, `Acceptance signal`, `Boundaries`, `Result`, `waiting_on`.
2. **Read the work `Result` points at** — the file, the page, the answers. `Result` is a claim about that work; the review checks the claim against the thing itself.
3. **Judge one axis at a time**: first the goal, then the convention, each on the evidence its axis names. A finding goes under the axis it belongs to and cites the signal line, the boundary, or the rule it broke.
4. **Write `## Review`** by the `task` skill's rule: one block, `Goal:` and `Convention:` each with its own verdict and evidence. How an older block is struck is that skill's rule too.
5. **Act on the pair** as the `task` skill's table says: both `passed` closes the ticket; otherwise the worse verdict decides what happens next.

The task carries the review block `task/res/review.md` defines, and its status follows that file's table.

## Hands off

- `advance-task` for a named gap.
- The owner for `needs discussion`, or for a task that no longer holds.

## What this skill does not do

- Do the work or fix it; that is `advance-task`.
