Reviewer Agent: Separate Builder from Marker

The agent that wrote the code cannot grade it. A reviewer is a second loop with a different system prompt, a different goal, and read-only access to everything the builder produced. The gap between builder and reviewer is where most reliability lives.

#Learning Objectives

  • State why the same agent cannot reliably review its own work.
  • Build a reviewer agent loop that consumes builder artifacts and emits a structured review report.
  • Author a reviewer rubric that grades specific dimensions, not vibes.
  • Wire the reviewer into the workbench so the human review step starts from a real artifact.
