 ## INSTRUCTIONS
 
-1. Launch parallel subagents. Each subagent gets NO conversation history from this session:
+1. If `{review_mode}` = `"no-spec"`, note to the user: "Acceptance Auditor skipped — no spec file provided."
 
-   - **Blind Hunter** -- Invoke the `bmad-review-adversarial-general` skill in a subagent. Pass `content` = `{diff_output}` only. No spec, no project access.
+2. Launch parallel subagents without conversation context. If context-free subagents are not available, generate prompt files in `{implementation_artifacts}` — one per reviewer role below — and HALT. Ask the user to run each in a separate session (ideally a different LLM) and paste back the findings. When findings are pasted, resume from this point and proceed to step 3.
 
-   - **Edge Case Hunter** -- Invoke the `bmad-review-edge-case-hunter` skill in a subagent. Pass `content` = `{diff_output}`. This subagent has read access to the project.
+   - **Blind Hunter** — receives `{diff_output}` only. No spec, no context docs, no project access. Invoke via the `bmad-review-adversarial-general` skill.
 
-   - **Acceptance Auditor** (only if `{review_mode}` = `"full"`) -- A subagent that receives `{diff_output}`, the content of the file at `{spec_file}`, and any loaded context docs. Its prompt:
+   - **Edge Case Hunter** — receives `{diff_output}` and read access to the project. Invoke via the `bmad-review-edge-case-hunter` skill.
+
+   - **Acceptance Auditor** (only if `{review_mode}` = `"full"`) — receives `{diff_output}`, the content of the file at `{spec_file}`, and any loaded context docs. Its prompt:
      > You are an Acceptance Auditor. Review this diff against the spec and context docs. Check for: violations of acceptance criteria, deviations from spec intent, missing implementation of specified behavior, contradictions between spec constraints and actual code. Output findings as a markdown list. Each finding: one-line title, which AC/constraint it violates, and evidence from the diff.
 
-2. **Subagent failure handling**: If any subagent fails, times out, or returns empty results, append the layer name to `{failed_layers}` (comma-separated) and proceed with findings from the remaining layers.

-4. **Fallback** (if subagents are not available): Generate prompt files in `{implementation_artifacts}` -- one per active reviewer:
-   - `review-blind-hunter.md` (always)
-   - `review-edge-case-hunter.md` (always)
-   - `review-acceptance-auditor.md` (only if `{review_mode}` = `"full"`)
