Fresh-Eyes Review

Core Principle

"NO COMMIT WITHOUT FRESH-EYES REVIEW FIRST"

This represents a final quality gate executed after implementation completion, passing tests, and peer review. The discipline applies universally, even without explicit skill activation.

Key Distinctions

Fresh-eyes review differs fundamentally from testing and code review:

Approach Focus Blind Spots
Testing Validates expected behavior Can't test for unknown edge cases
Code review Patterns and quality Reviewer trusts author's intent
Fresh-eyes Deliberate re-reading with psychological distance Catches what you thought was correct

Critical insight: "100% test coverage and passing scenarios" can coexist with "critical bugs" waiting discovery.
