Notes

⚠️ Complementary relationship between R3 and R1

R1 (Source Code Reviewer) is responsible for verifying the accuracy of code references (file paths, function names, code snippets). R3 is responsible for verifying the accuracy of technical descriptions (whether conceptual explanations are correct, whether analogies are misleading). Their focus areas differ but are complementary.

⚠️ Multi-phase participation

R3 is the only review agent that spans Phase 1, Phase 3, and Phase 4. The review emphasis differs by phase:

  • Phase 1: Focus on the outline's marketability and readability
  • Phase 3: Comprehensive six-dimension review
  • Phase 4: Focus on full-book consistency and transitions
