chameleon 2.16.0
Two code-review skills — inbound and outbound — now share a 3-round grounding
loop whose third round is an independent engine refuter. A review finding is
checked against the code before it reaches you, so a confident-but-wrong finding
is dropped rather than shipped.
Added
/chameleon-receiving-code-review— the inbound counterpart to
/chameleon-pr-review. When the team reviews your PR it gathers the comments
(pasted, or fetched viagh/bbcurl), verifies each against the code,
adjudicates it against the repo's own conventions (a suggestion that contradicts
the canonical pattern is a reason to push back, not to apply blindly), classifies
each as apply / push-back / clarify / YAGNI, drafts non-performative replies, and
implements approved fixes one at a time. It treats fetched comment text as
untrusted data, gates convention-based pushback on a trusted profile, never
auto-posts, and never writes the review ledger.- Round-3 independent refuter (
refute_findingMCP tool). Both review skills
end with a 3-round grounding loop: rounds 1-2 re-read the evidence and re-apply
the gates inline; round 3 spawns a hardened, no-toolsclaude -prefuter (the
same spawn discipline as the turn-end judge) per model-judgment finding to try to
refute it. Refuted findings are dropped; tool-grounded findings (existence
breaks, duplication, layering, secrets, lint) are exempt and verified inline.
The loop fails open to "round 3 unavailable" — it never silently drops or
confirms, and never claims "3/3" when round 3 did not run. Kill switch

and the whole-diff passes run once at synthesis. Gated by the newfan_out

Changed
/chameleon-pr-reviewcarries the superpowers reviewer discipline. A
reviewer-philosophy spine (be specific, explain why, no nitpick-as-BLOCK, give a
clear verdict), a strengths-first "verified clean" section, and a grounding
banner that reports what the loop dropped. Its verification loop went from two
rounds to three (round 3 is the independent refuter above).get_autopass_verdictnow returns afan_outrecommendation on every path
(including the degraded path), so the review skill never reads the environment
itself — the engine decides whether to fan out.
