Use when an orchestrator must run the opt-in adversarial-critique rung on ONE built work-order — the absent-human review layered ABOVE the deterministic gates. Derives the work-order's risk tier (wo-risk-classify.sh), decides whether critique is required (forced-on for high-risk-unattended; else the per-task/per-project dial), spawns risk-scaled INDEPENDENT fresh-context wo-critic agents that re-derive the verdict from artifacts (git diff + gate envelopes), aggregates fail-closed (wo-critique-aggregate.sh) into a per-WO _critique.json, and writes a wo-NN.HALT marker when blocking. Fan-out is the unattended primitive; never edits /review's _review.json. A judgment layer, not a gate — gates always run first.

From the source SKILL.md

The judgment layer above the deterministic gates. Gates always run (mechanism A); this is the opt-in/forced critique on top. All verdict math is in the kernels — this skill orchestrates, it never decides the verdict in prose. Contracts: references/critique-envelope.md (the _critique.json ③ reads) + references/critic-prompt-contract.md (the hostility contract + disk-collected discipline). The critic is the wo-critic agent.
