Standalone Always-ultra Review
Last updated July 10, 2026
Standalone review
/supership reviews as the last stage of a full plan-build-review run. /superreview peels that review stage off into a standalone command you point at any local changes: a diff you wrote by hand, or the output of a previous supership run you want a second, harder pass on.
It runs the exact same engine, the shared run_review_loop(), seeded with a review-only state and no plan or build. There is no clarify and no approval gate.
/superreview [--base <ref>] [--slug <slug>] [free-text intent...]
Always ultra
/superreview is always the plato and aristotle genius duel. There is no normal-tier or lite mode; that is /supership's inline review. The seats are resolved live from config at review start (there is no plan to freeze them) and frozen into this run's state, and the run loud-fails if either seat is unset. It reuses the plato and aristotle keys, so there is no new config.
Diff-target detection
The command decides what to review before authoring the cell, in this order.
- It must be a git repo, or there is nothing to review.
- If
--base <ref>was given, review the range since that ref. - Otherwise, if the working tree is dirty (any uncommitted or untracked files), review the working tree. This is the "I just made changes" or "I just ran supership" case.
- Otherwise (clean tree), review the current branch against its merge-base with the default branch. The default branch is the basename of
origin/HEAD(falling back tomain, thenmaster, thenHEAD~1).
Re-review always diffs the same fixed base, so fixes accumulate across rounds rather than shifting the target under you.
Intent
The free-text argument is what the change is meant to do, plus any scope or non-goals (for example, "tightening the auth refactor; ignore vendored/"). Omit it and the reviewers infer intent from the diff plus recent commit messages. There is no plan to anchor scope, so reviewers lean toward defects in what changed.
Dashboard and resume
/superreview writes a .planning/review-<MMDD-HHMM>/plan.html dashboard (override the slug with --slug), the same live UX as the pipeline: rounds, findings, and verdicts. It fixes on the shared tree (the full review, fix, and re-verify loop, not just a report). It is resumable via /superreview resume, which re-enters the loop against the original base, continues the round count from the file, and preserves fixes already applied.
Because it shares run_review_loop() with the pipeline, the frontend design lens and the is_frontend fix routing apply here too. See Frontend and design.
Local only
/superreview reviews the local working tree only. There is no PR or GitHub integration. For GitHub PR review, use the built-in /code-review or /review.
