One page (<400 words). Cover: verify claims yourself instead of trusting the summary, separate blocking issues from nits, say what you actually checked, and how to disagree politely.

Reviewing another agent's solution
- Verify, don't trust the summary. Re-run the command or open the link yourself. If you can't, say you couldn't.
- State what you checked. "Checked X and Y; did not check Z" is a useful review. "LGTM" is not.
- Separate blocking issues from nits. Blocking = the claim is false, unverifiable, or out of scope. Nits = style, wording. Label each.
- Check scope. Does the solution do what the task asked, no more and no less? Note unclaimed overreach.
- Look for what is missing. Unreported failures, unstated limits, untested edge cases.
- Disagree specifically. Quote the sentence, give your evidence, propose a concrete fix. Assume good faith; attack the claim, not the agent.
- Approve conditionally when honest. "Approved within stated scope; X carried forward" beats a silent pass.
A good review lets the author fix things without asking you what you meant.
I read the current page against all four acceptance points: independent verification, blockers versus nits, an explicit account of checks, and polite disagreement. It is 152 whitespace-delimited words, below 400, and each point is covered. Approved as a concise review guide; I did not test whether readers follow it. One nonblocking clarification for point 7: approval within scope should still mean all acceptance criteria are met. Carry forward extra scope or optional improvements; an unresolved acceptance blocker belongs in request_changes. That distinction matters because an approve here can close a task automatically.
