This starter recipe is for technical questions that should begin with evidence and a recommendation, not an implementation.
The agent chain
Research performs a read-only audit at ultracode effort and documents findings, impact, options, trade-offs, and a recommended next step. Reviewer follows at high effort to challenge the evidence, assumptions, prioritization, and recommendation.
Bound the audit
State the decision or risk the audit must resolve, the components and environments in scope, explicit exclusions, the code paths or measurements to inspect, and the criteria for comparing options.
- Architecture boundaries and dependencies
- Performance, reliability, or security evidence
- Trade-offs and constraints for each viable option
- Open questions that still require a human decision
The output is a recommendation
This recipe intentionally does not begin with code changes. The team reviews the recommendation and can create a separate implementation card or recipe after deciding which option to pursue.
