 **Release: November 18, 2025**
 
-This alpha release introduces a complete agent installation system with the new `bmad agent-install` command, vastly improves the BMB agent builder capabilities with comprehensive documentation and reference agents, and refines diagram distribution to better align with BMad Method's core principle: **BMad agents mirror real agile teams**.
+### 🚀 Agent Installation Revolution
 
-### 🎨 Diagram Capabilities Refined and Distributed
-
-**Excalidraw Integration Evolution:**
-
-Building on the excellent Excalidraw integration introduced with the Frame Expert agent, we've refined how diagram capabilities are distributed across the BMad Method ecosystem to better reflect real agile team dynamics.
-
-**The Refinement:**

-- **security-engineer & trend-analyst**: Module agent examples with ecosystem integration
-
-**Critical Persona Field Guidance Added:**
-
-New documentation explaining how LLMs interpret persona fields for better agent quality:
-
-- **role** → "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
-- **identity** → "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
-- **communication_style** → "What verbal patterns, word choice, and phrasing do I use?"
-- **principles** → "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
-
-Key insight: `communication_style` should ONLY describe HOW the agent talks, not WHAT they do
-
-**BMM Agent Voice Enhancement:**
-
-All 9 existing BMM agents enhanced with distinct, memorable communication voices:
-
-- **Mary (analyst)**: "Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue"
-- **John (PM)**: "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case"
-- **Winston (architect)**: "Champions boring technology that actually works"
-- **Amelia (dev)**: "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs"

-
-### 🐛 Technical Improvements
-
-**Linting Compliance:**
-
-- Fixed all ESLint warnings across agent tooling
-- `'utf-8'` → `'utf8'` (unicorn/text-encoding-identifier-case)
-- `hasOwnProperty` → `Object.hasOwn` (unicorn/prefer-object-has-own)
-- `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` → `structuredClone(...)`
-
-**Agent Compilation Engine:**
-
-- Auto-injects frontmatter, activation, handlers, help/exit menu items
-- Smart handler inclusion (only includes handlers actually used)
-- Proper XML escaping and formatting
-- Persona name customization support

-# Custom Agent Installation
-
-BMAD agents and workflows are now installed through the main CLI installer using a `custom.yaml` configuration file or by having an installer file.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-Create a `custom.yaml` file in the root of your agent/workflow folder:
-
-```yaml
-code: my-custom-agent
-name: 'My Custom Agent'
-default_selected: true
-```
-
-Then run the BMAD installer from your project directory:
-
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install
-```
-
-Or if you have bmad-cli installed globally:
-
-```bash
-bmad install
-```
-
-## Installation Methods
-
-### Method 1: Stand-alone Folder with custom.yaml
-
-Place your agent or workflow in a folder with a `custom.yaml` file at the root:
-
-```
-my-agent/
-├── custom.yaml      # Required configuration file
-├── my-agent.agent.yaml
-└── sidecar/         # Optional
-    └── instructions.md
-```
-
-### Method 2: Installer File
-
-For more complex installations, include an `installer.js` or `installer.yaml` file in your agent/workflow folder:
-
-```
-my-workflow/
-├── workflow.md
-└── installer.yaml   # Custom installation logic
-```
-
-## What It Does
-
-1. **Discovers** available agents and workflows from folders with `custom.yaml`
-2. **Installs** to your project's `.bmad/custom/` directory
-3. **Creates** IDE commands for all your configured IDEs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)
-4. **Registers** the agent/workflow in the BMAD system
-
-## Example custom.yaml
-
-```yaml
-code: my-custom-agent
-name: 'My Custom Agent'
-default_selected: true
-```
-
-## Installing Reference Agents
-
-The BMAD source includes example agents you can install. **You must copy them to your project first.**
-
-### Step 1: Copy the Agent Template
-
-**For simple agents** (single file):
-
-```bash
-# From your project root
-mkdir -p .bmad/custom/agents/my-agent
-cp node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/stand-alone/commit-poet.agent.yaml \
-   .bmad/custom/agents/my-agent/
-```
-
-**For expert agents** (folder with sidecar files):
-
-```bash
-# Copy the entire folder
-cp -r node_modules/bmad-method/src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/agent-with-memory/journal-keeper \
-   .bmad/custom/agents/
-```
-
-### Step 2: Create custom.yaml
-
-```bash
-# In the agent folder, create custom.yaml
-cat > .bmad/custom/agents/my-agent/custom.yaml << EOF
-code: my-agent
-name: "My Custom Agent"
-default_selected: true
-EOF
-```
-
-### Step 3: Install
-
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install
-# or: bmad install (if BMAD installed locally)
-```
-
-The installer will:
-
-1. Find the agent with its `custom.yaml`
-2. Install it to the appropriate location
-3. Create IDE commands for immediate use
-
-### Available Reference Agents
-
-**Simple (standalone file):**
-
-- `commit-poet.agent.yaml` - Commit message artisan with style preferences
-
-**Expert (folder with sidecar):**
-
-- `journal-keeper/` - Personal journal companion with memory and pattern recognition
-
-Find these in the BMAD source:
-
-```
-src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/
-├── stand-alone/
-│   └── commit-poet.agent.yaml
-└── agent-with-memory/
-    └── journal-keeper/
-        ├── journal-keeper.agent.yaml
-        └── journal-keeper-sidecar/
-```
-
-## Creating Your Own
-
-Use the BMB agent builder to craft your agents. Once ready to use, place your `.agent.yaml` files or folders with `custom.yaml` in `.bmad/custom/agents/` or `.bmad/custom/workflows/`.

+# Custom Content Installation
+
+This guide explains how to create and install custom BMAD content including agents, workflows, and modules. Custom content allows you to extend BMAD's functionality with your own specialized tools and workflows that can be shared across projects or teams.
+
+## Types of Custom Content
+
+### 1. Custom Agents and Workflows (Standalone)
+
+Custom agents and workflows are standalone content packages that can be installed without being part of a full module. These are perfect for:
+
+- Sharing specialized agents across projects
+- Building a personal Agent powered Notebook vault
+- Distributing workflow templates
+- Creating agent libraries for specific domains
+
+#### Structure
+
+A custom agents and workflows package follows this structure:
+
+```
+my-custom-agents/
+├── module.yaml          # Package configuration
+├── agents/              # Agent definitions
+│   └── my-agent/
+│       └── agent.md
+└── workflows/           # Workflow definitions
+    └── my-workflow/
+        └── workflow.md
+```
+
+#### Configuration
+
+Create a `module.yaml` file in your package root:
+
+```yaml
+code: my-custom-agents
+name: 'My Custom Agents and Workflows'
+default_selected: true
+```
+
+#### Example
+
+See `/example-custom-content` for a working example of a folder with multiple random custom agents and workflows. Technically its also just a module, but you will be able to further pick and choose from this folders contents of what you do and do not want to include in a destination folder. This way, you can store all custom content source in one location and easily install it to different locations.
+
+### 2. Custom Modules
+
+Custom modules are complete BMAD modules that can include their own configuration, documentation, along with agents and workflows that all compliment each other. Additionally they will have their own installation scripts, data, and potentially other tools. Modules can be used for:
+
+- Domain-specific functionality (e.g., industry-specific workflows, entertainment, education and training, medical, etc...)
+- Integration with external systems
+- Specialized agent collections
+- Custom tooling and utilities
+
+#### Structure
+
+A custom module follows this structure:
+
+```
+my-module/
+├── _module-installer/
+│   ├── installer.js           # optional, when it exists it will run with module installation
+├── module.yaml                # Module installation configuration with custom question and answer capture
+├── docs/                      # Module documentation
+├── agents/                    # Module-specific agents
+├── workflows/                 # Module-specific workflows
+├── data/                      # csv or other content to power agent intelligence or workflows
+├── tools/                     # Custom tools, hooks, mcp
+└── sub-modules/               # IDE-specific customizations
+    ├── vscode/
+    └── cursor/
+```
+
+#### Module Configuration
+
+The `module.yaml` file defines how your module is installed:
+
+```yaml
+# Module metadata
+code: my-module
+name: 'My Custom Module'
+default_selected: false
+
+header: 'My Custom Module'
+subheader: 'Description of what this module does'
+
+# Configuration prompts
+my_setting:
+  prompt: 'Configure your module setting'
+  default: 'default-value'
+  result: '{value}'
+```
+
+#### Example
+
+See `/example-custom-module` for a complete example:
+
+## Installation Process
+
+### Step 1: Running the Installer
+
+When you run the existing normal BMAD installer - either from the cloned repo, OR via NPX, it will ask about custom content:
+
+```
+? Do you have custom content to install?
+❯ No (skip custom content)
+  Enter a directory path
+  Enter a URL [Coming soon]
+```
+
+### Step 2: Providing Custom Content Path
+
+If you select "Enter a directory path", the installer will prompt for the location:
+
+```
+? Enter the path to your custom content directory: /path/to/folder/containing/content/folder
+```
+
+The installer will:
+
+- Scan for `module.yaml` files (modules)
+- Display an indication of how many installable folders it has found. Note that a project with stand along agents and workflows all under a single folder like the example will just list the count as 1 for that directory.
+
+### Step 3: Selecting Content
+
+The installer presents a unified selection interface:
+
+```
+? Select modules and custom content to install:
+[── Custom Content ──]
+ ◉ My Custom Agents and Workflows (/path/to/custom)
+[── Official Content ──]
+ ◯ BMM: Business Method & Management
+ ◯ CIS: Creativity & Innovation Suite
+```
+
+## Agent Sidecar Support
+
+Agents with sidecar content can store personal data, memories, and working files outside of the `.bmad` directory. This separation keeps personal content separate from BMAD's core files.
+
+### What is Sidecar Content?
+
+Sidecar content includes:
+
+- Agent memories and learning data
+- Personal working files
+- Temporary data
+- User-specific configurations
+
+### Sidecar Configuration
+
+The sidecar folder location is configured during BMAD core installation:
+
+```
+? Where should users' agent sidecar memory folders be stored?
+❯ .bmad-user-memory
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Agent Declaration**: Agents declare `hasSidecar: true` in their metadata
+2. **Sidecar Detection**: The installer automatically detects folders with "sidecar" in the name
+3. **Installation**: Sidecar content is copied to the configured location
+4. **Path Replacement**: The `{agent_sidecar_folder}` placeholder in agent configurations is replaced with the actual path to the installed instance of the sidecar folder. Now when you use the agent, depending on its design, will use the content in sidecar to record interactions, remember things you tell it, or serve a host of many other issues.
+
+### Example Structure
+
+```
+my-agent/
+├── agent.md              # Agent definition
+└── my-agent-sidecar/     # Sidecar content folder
+    ├── memories/
+    ├── working/
+    └── config/
+```
+
+### Git Integration
+
+Since sidecar content is stored outside the `.bmad` directory (and typically outside version control), users can:
+
+- Add the sidecar folder to `.gitignore` to exclude personal data
+- Share agent definitions without exposing personal content
+- Maintain separate configurations for different projects
+
+Example `.gitignore` entry:
+
+```
+# Exclude agent personal data
+.bmad-user-memory/
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Content with BMAD Builder
+
+The BMAD Builder provides workflows that will guide you to produce your own custom content:
+
+1. **Agent Templates**: Use standardized agent templates with proper structure
+2. **Workflow Templates**: Create workflows using proven patterns
+3. **Validation Tools**: Validate your content before distribution
+4. **Package Generation**: Generate properly structured packages
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Clear Naming**: Make your content codes and names descriptive
+2. **Provide Documentation**: Include clear setup and usage instructions
+3. **Test Installation**: Test your content in a clean environment
+4. **Version Management**: Use semantic versioning for updates
+5. **Respect User Privacy**: Keep personal data in sidecar folders
+
+## Distribution
+
+Custom content can be distributed:
+
+1. **File System**: Copy folders directly to users
+2. **Git Repositories**: Clone or download from version control
+3. **Package Managers**: [Coming soon] npm package support
+4. **URL Installation**: [Coming soon] Direct URL installation, including an official community vetted module forge
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Custom Content Found
+
+- Ensure your `module.yaml` files are properly named
+- Check file permissions
+- Verify the directory path is correct
+
+### Installation Errors
+
+- Run the installer with verbose logging
+- Check for syntax errors in YAML configuration files
+- Verify all required files are present
+
+### Sidecar Issues
+
+- Ensure the agent has `hasSidecar: true` in metadata
+- Check that sidecar folders contain "sidecar" in the name
+- Verify the agent_sidecar_folder configuration
+- Ensure the custom agent has proper language in it to actually use the sidecar content, including loading memories on agent load.
+
+## Support

-# Workflow Creation Plan: quiz-master
-
-## Initial Project Context
-
-- **Module:** stand-alone
-- **Target Location:** /Users/brianmadison/dev/BMAD-METHOD/.bmad/custom/src/workflows/quiz-master
-- **Created:** 2025-12-04
-
-## Detailed Requirements
-
-### 1. Workflow Purpose and Scope
-
-- **Primary Goal:** Entertainment-based interactive trivia quiz
-- **Structure:** Always exactly 10 questions (1 per difficulty level 1-10)
-- **Format:** Multiple choice with 4 options (A, B, C, D)
-- **Progression:** Linear progression through all 10 levels regardless of correct/incorrect answers
-- **Scoring:** Track correct answers for final score
-
-### 2. Workflow Type Classification
-
-- **Type:** Interactive Workflow with Linear structure
-- **Interaction Style:** High interactivity with user input for each question
-- **Flow:** Step 1 (Init) → Step 2 (Quiz Questions) → Step 3 (Results) → Step 4 (History Save)
-
-### 3. Workflow Flow and Step Structure
-
-**Step 1 - Game Initialization:**
-
-- Read user_name from config.yaml
-- Present suggested categories OR accept freeform category input
-- Create CSV file if not exists with proper headers
-- Start new row for current game session
-
-**Step 2 - Quiz Game Loop:**
-
-- Loop through 10 questions (levels 1-10)
-- Each question has 4 multiple-choice options
-- User enters A, B, C, or D
-- Provide immediate feedback on correctness
-- Continue to next level regardless of answer
-
-**Step 3 - Results Display:**
-
-- Show final score (e.g., "You got 7 out of 10!")
-- Provide entertaining commentary based on performance
-
-**Step 4 - History Management:**
-
-- Append complete game data to CSV
-- Columns: DateTime, Category, Q1-Question, Q1-Choices, Q1-UserAnswer, Q1-Correct, Q2-Question, ... Q10-Correct, FinalScore
-
-### 4. User Interaction Style
-
-- **Persona:** Over-the-top gameshow host (enthusiastic, dramatic, celebratory)
-- **Instruction Style:** Intent-based with gameshow flair
-- **Language:** Energetic, encouraging, theatrical
-- **Feedback:** Immediate, celebratory for correct, encouraging for incorrect
-
-### 5. Input Requirements
-
-- **From config:** user_name (BMad)
-- **From user:** Category selection (suggested list or freeform)
-- **From user:** 10 answers (A/B/C/D)
-
-### 6. Output Specifications
-
-- **Primary:** Interactive quiz experience with gameshow atmosphere
-- **Secondary:** CSV history file named: BMad-quiz-results.csv
-- **CSV Structure:**
-  - Row per game session
-  - Headers: DateTime, Category, Q1-Question, Q1-Choices, Q1-UserAnswer, Q1-Correct, ..., Q10-Correct, FinalScore
-
-### 7. Success Criteria
-
-- User completes all 10 questions
-- Gameshow atmosphere maintained throughout
-- CSV file properly created/updated
-- User receives final score with entertaining feedback
-- All question data and answers recorded accurately
-
-### 8. Special Considerations
-
-- Always assume fresh chat/new game
-- CSV file creation in Step 1 if missing
-- Freeform categories allowed (any topic)
-- No need to display previous history during game
-- Focus on entertainment over assessment
-- After user enters A/B/C/D, automatically continue to next question (no "Continue" prompts)
-- Streamlined experience without advanced elicitation or party mode tools
-
-## Tools Configuration
-
-### Core BMAD Tools
-
-- **Party-Mode**: Excluded - Want streamlined quiz flow without interruptions
-- **Advanced Elicitation**: Excluded - Quiz format is straightforward without need for complex analysis
-- **Brainstorming**: Excluded - Categories can be suggested directly or entered freeform
-
-### LLM Features
-
-- **Web-Browsing**: Excluded - Quiz questions can be generated from existing knowledge
-- **File I/O**: Included - Essential for CSV history file management (reading/writing quiz results)
-- **Sub-Agents**: Excluded - Single gameshow host persona is sufficient
-- **Sub-Processes**: Excluded - Linear quiz flow doesn't require parallel processing
-
-### Memory Systems
-
-- **Sidecar File**: Excluded - Each quiz session is independent (always assume fresh chat)
-
-### External Integrations
-
-- None required for this workflow
-
-### Installation Requirements
-
-- None - All required tools (File I/O) are core features with no additional setup needed
-
-## Workflow Design
-
-### Step Structure
-
-**Total Steps: 12**
-
-1. Step 01 - Init: Mode selection, category choice, CSV setup
-2. Steps 02-11: Individual questions (1-10) with CSV updates
-3. Step 12 - Results: Final score display and celebration
-
-### Game Modes
-
-- **Mode 1 - Sudden Death**: Game over on first wrong answer
-- **Mode 2 - Marathon**: Continue through all 10 questions
-
-### CSV Structure (44 columns)
-
-Headers: DateTime,Category,GameMode,Q1-Question,Q1-Choices,Q1-UserAnswer,Q1-Correct,...,Q10-Correct,FinalScore
-
-### Flow Logic
-
-- Step 01: Create row with DateTime, Category, GameMode
-- Steps 02-11: Update CSV with question data
-  - Mode 1: IF incorrect → jump to Step 12
-  - Mode 2: Always continue
-- Step 12: Update FinalScore, display results
-
-### Gameshow Persona
-
-- Energetic, dramatic host
-- Celebratory feedback for correct answers
-- Encouraging messages for incorrect
-
-### File Structure
-

-## Output Format Design
-
-**Format Type**: Strict Template
-
-**Output Requirements**:
-
-- Document type: CSV data file
-- File format: CSV (UTF-8 encoding)
-- Frequency: Append one row per quiz session
-
-**Structure Specifications**:
-
-- Exact 43 columns with specific headers
-- Headers: DateTime,Category,Q1-Question,Q1-Choices,Q1-UserAnswer,Q1-Correct,...,Q10-Correct,FinalScore
-- Data formats:
-  - DateTime: ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)
-  - Category: Text
-  - QX-Question: Text
-  - QX-Choices: (A)Opt1|(B)Opt2|(C)Opt3|(D)Opt4
-  - QX-UserAnswer: A/B/C/D
-  - QX-Correct: TRUE/FALSE
-  - FinalScore: Number (0-10)
-
-**Template Information**:
-
-- Template source: Created based on requirements
-- Template file: CSV with fixed column structure
-- Placeholders: None - strict format required
-
-**Special Considerations**:
-
-- CSV commas within text must be quoted
-- Newlines in questions replaced with spaces
-- Headers created only if file doesn't exist
-- Append mode for all subsequent quiz sessions

+# Raven's Verdict - Deep PR Review Tool
+
+Adversarial code review for GitHub PRs. Works with any LLM agent.
+
+> **Status: Experimental.** We're still figuring out how to use this effectively. Expect the workflow to evolve.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Point your agent at `review-pr.md` and ask it to review a specific PR:
+
+> "Read tools/maintainer/review-pr.md and apply it to PR #123"
+
+The tool will:
+
+1. Check out the PR branch locally
+2. Run an adversarial review (find at least 5 issues)
+3. Transform findings into professional tone
+4. Preview the review and ask before posting
+
+See `review-pr.md` for full prompt structure, severity ratings, and sandboxing rules.
+
+## When to Use
+
+**Good candidates:**
+
+- PRs with meaningful logic changes
+- Refactors touching multiple files
+- New features or architectural changes
+
+**Skip it for:**
+
+- Trivial PRs (typo fixes, version bumps, single-line changes)
+- PRs you've already reviewed manually
+- PRs where you haven't agreed on the approach yet — fix the direction before the implementation
+
+## Workflow Tips
+
+**Always review before posting.** The preview step exists for a reason:
+
+- **[y] Yes** — Post as-is (only if you're confident)
+- **[e] Edit** — Modify findings before posting
+- **[s] Save only** — Write to file, don't post
+
+The save option is useful when you want to:
+
+- Hand-edit the review before posting
+- Use the findings as input for a second opinion ("Hey Claude, here's what Raven found — what do you think?")
+- Cherry-pick specific findings
+
+**Trust but verify.** LLM reviews can miss context or flag non-issues. Skim the findings before they hit the PR.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `gh` CLI installed and authenticated (`gh auth status`)
+- Any LLM agent capable of running bash commands

+# Raven's Verdict - Deep PR Review Tool
+
+A cynical adversarial review, transformed into cold engineering professionalism.
+
+<orientation>
+CRITICAL: Sandboxed Execution Rules
+
+Before proceeding, you MUST verify:
+
+- [ ] PR number or URL was EXPLICITLY provided in the user's message
+- [ ] You are NOT inferring the PR from conversation history
+- [ ] You are NOT looking at git branches, recent commits, or local state
+- [ ] You are NOT guessing or assuming any PR numbers
+
+**If no explicit PR number/URL was provided, STOP immediately and ask:**
+"What PR number or URL should I review?"
+</orientation>
+
+<preflight-checks>
+
+## Preflight Checks
+
+### 0.1 Parse PR Input
+
+Extract PR number from user input. Examples of valid formats:
+
+- `123` (just the number)
+- `#123` (with hash)
+- `https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123` (full URL)
+
+If a URL specifies a different repository than the current one:
+
+```bash
+# Check current repo
+gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q '.nameWithOwner'
+```
+
+If mismatch detected, ask user:
+
+> "This PR is from `{detected_repo}` but we're in `{current_repo}`. Proceed with reviewing `{detected_repo}#123`? (y/n)"
+
+If user confirms, store `{REPO}` for use in all subsequent `gh` commands.
+
+### 0.2 Ensure Clean Checkout
+
+Verify the working tree is clean and check out the PR branch.
+
+```bash
+# Check for uncommitted changes
+git status --porcelain
+```
+
+If output is non-empty, STOP and tell user:
+
+> "You have uncommitted changes. Please commit or stash them before running a PR review."
+
+If clean, fetch and checkout the PR branch:
+
+```bash
+# Fetch and checkout PR branch
+# For cross-repo PRs, include --repo {REPO}
+gh pr checkout {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}]
+```
+
+If checkout fails, STOP and report the error.
+
+Now you're on the PR branch with full access to all files as they exist in the PR.
+
+### 0.3 Check PR Size
+
+```bash
+# For cross-repo PRs, include --repo {REPO}
+gh pr view {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}] --json additions,deletions,changedFiles -q '{"additions": .additions, "deletions": .deletions, "files": .changedFiles}'
+```
+
+**Size thresholds:**
+
+| Metric        | Warning Threshold |
+| ------------- | ----------------- |
+| Files changed | > 50              |
+| Lines changed | > 5000            |
+
+If thresholds exceeded, ask user:
+
+> "This PR has {X} files and {Y} line changes. That's large.
+>
+> **[f] Focus** - Pick specific files or directories to review
+> **[p] Proceed** - Review everything (may be slow/expensive)
+> **[a] Abort** - Stop here"
+
+### 0.4 Note Binary Files
+
+```bash
+# For cross-repo PRs, include --repo {REPO}

+
+### 1.1 Run Cynical Review
+
+**INTERNAL PERSONA - Never post this directly:**
+
+Task: You are a cynical, jaded code reviewer with zero patience for sloppy work. This PR was submitted by a clueless weasel and you expect to find problems. Find at least five issues to fix or improve in it. Number them. Be skeptical of everything. Ultrathink.
+
+Output format:
+
+```markdown
+### [NUMBER]. [FINDING TITLE] [likely]
+
+**Severity:** [EMOJI] [LEVEL]
+
+[DESCRIPTION - be specific, include file:line references]
+```
+
+Severity scale:
+
+| Level    | Emoji | Meaning                                                 |
+| -------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Critical | 🔴    | Security issue, data loss risk, or broken functionality |
+| Moderate | 🟡    | Bug, performance issue, or significant code smell       |
+| Minor    | 🟢    | Style, naming, minor improvement opportunity            |
+
+Likely tag:
+
+- Add `[likely]` to findings with high confidence, e.g. with direct evidence
+- Sort findings by severity (Critical → Moderate → Minor), not by confidence
+
+</adversarial-review>
+
+<tone-transformation>
+
+**Transform the cynical output into cold engineering professionalism.**
+
+**Transformation rules:**
+
+1. Remove all inflammatory language, insults, assumptions about the author
+2. Keep all technical substance, file references, severity ratings and likely tag
+3. Replace accusatory phrasing with neutral observations:
+   - ❌ "The author clearly didn't think about..."
+   - ✅ "This implementation may not account for..."
+4. Preserve skepticism as healthy engineering caution:
+   - ❌ "This will definitely break in production"
+   - ✅ "This pattern has historically caused issues in production environments"
+5. Add the suggested fixes.
+6. Keep suggestions actionable and specific
+
+Output format after transformation:
+
+```markdown
+## PR Review: #{PR_NUMBER}
+
+**Title:** {PR_TITLE}
+**Author:** @{AUTHOR}
+**Branch:** {HEAD} → {BASE}
+
+---
+
+### Findings
+
+[TRANSFORMED FINDINGS HERE]
+
+---
+
+### Summary
+
+**Critical:** {COUNT} | **Moderate:** {COUNT} | **Minor:** {COUNT}
+
+[BINARY_FILES_NOTE if any]
+
+---
+
+_Review generated by Raven's Verdict. LLM-produced analysis - findings may be incorrect or lack context. Verify before acting._
+```
+
+</tone-transformation>
+
+<post-review>
+### 3.1 Preview
+
+Display the complete transformed review to the user.
+
+```
+══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+PREVIEW - This will be posted to PR #{PR_NUMBER}
+══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+[FULL REVIEW CONTENT]
+
+══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+```
+
+### 3.2 Confirm
+
+Ask user for explicit confirmation:
+
+> **Ready to post this review to PR #{PR_NUMBER}?**
+>
+> **[y] Yes** - Post as comment
+> **[n] No** - Abort, do not post
+> **[e] Edit** - Let me modify before posting
+> **[s] Save only** - Save locally, don't post
+
+### 3.3 Post or Save
+
+**Write review to a temp file, then post:**
+
+1. Write the review content to a temp file with a unique name (include PR number to avoid collisions)
+2. Post using `gh pr comment {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}] --body-file {path}`
+3. Delete the temp file after successful post
+
+Do NOT use heredocs or `echo` - Markdown code blocks will break shell parsing. Use your file writing tool instead.
+
+**If auth fails or post fails:**
+
+1. Display error prominently:
+
+   ```
+   ⚠️  FAILED TO POST REVIEW
+   Error: {ERROR_MESSAGE}
+   ```
+
+2. Keep the temp file and tell the user where it is, so they can post manually with:
+   `gh pr comment {PR_NUMBER} [--repo {REPO}] --body-file {path}`
+
+**If save only (s):**
+
+Keep the temp file and inform user of location.
+

+
+<notes>
+- The "cynical asshole" phase is internal only - never posted
+- Tone transform MUST happen before any external output
+- When in doubt, ask the user - never assume
+- If you're unsure about severity, err toward higher severity
+- If you're unsure about confidence, be honest and use Medium or Low
