Adversarially review a grooming spec before implementation starts.

What it does

Challenge is an agent skill from wp-media/wp-rocket. Adversarially review a grooming spec before implementation starts. Finds hidden risks, unvalidated assumptions, and missing dependencies. Standalone entry point for the challenger agent.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with WordPress. The repository describes itself as: Performance optimization plugin for WordPress. The licence is GPL-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/challenge”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate files
  2. Invoke the challenger agent
  3. Offer to post

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a96b66. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Challenge loads about 674 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~674

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Challenge

Standalone adversarial spec review. Runs the full challenger analysis on an existing grooming spec and outputs a verdict (APPROVED / NEEDS_REVISION / BLOCKED) with MoSCoW-classified findings. Posting to the GitHub issue is your choice — you are prompted at the end.

Step 1 — Locate files

This skill targets wp-media/wp-rocket. Use $ARGUMENTS as the issue number N. Verify both files exist:

  • Issue file: .TemporaryItems/Issues/wp-rocket/issues/<N>.md
  • Spec file: .TemporaryItems/Issues/wp-rocket/issues/<N>-spec.md

If the spec does not exist, tell the user: "No spec found for issue #N. Run /groom <N> first to produce one." Stop here.

If only the issue file is missing, sync it:

bash
bash .claude/skills/issue-workflow/scripts/issue-sync.sh <N>

Step 2 — Invoke the challenger agent

Invoke the challenger sub-agent with:

  • Issue number N
  • Issue file path: .TemporaryItems/Issues/wp-rocket/issues/<N>.md
  • Spec file path: .TemporaryItems/Issues/wp-rocket/issues/<N>-spec.md
  • plan_version: 1 (or detect from the spec's Plan v<N> header if present)
  • CURRENT_MODEL: "standalone"
  • session_learnings: read Section 13 of AGENTS.md if it exists, else pass empty string
  • Repo: wp-media/wp-rocket

STANDALONE MODE — one difference from the normal pipeline run: Skip the StructuredOutput JSON return. Output the full human-readable verdict (APPROVED / NEEDS_REVISION / BLOCKED) and findings in a section titled ## Challenge Report, using the same format the orchestrator would receive (verdict, MoSCoW-classified findings, alternative suggestions).

Step 3 — Offer to post

After the agent responds, display its ## Challenge Report and ask:

Post this challenge report as a comment on issue #<N>? Reply yes to post, no to finish here.

If yes — post with dedup:

bash
EXISTING_ID=$(gh api repos/wp-media/wp-rocket/issues/<N>/comments \
  --jq '[.[] | select(.body | contains("<!-- ai-pipeline:challenge -->"))] | last | .id // empty')

Update with gh api --method PATCH repos/wp-media/wp-rocket/issues/comments/$EXISTING_ID if found, otherwise post a new comment. Body always starts with <!-- ai-pipeline:challenge -->.

If no — finish. Remind the user: if the verdict is NEEDS_REVISION, update the spec at .TemporaryItems/Issues/wp-rocket/issues/<N>-spec.md before running /groom <N> again or starting implementation.
