# cross-review — bstack P20 Cross-Model Adversarial Review Gate
**The writer cannot be the final judge of the work.**
When the same AI model plans, implements, and reviews, it will not challenge its own assumptions. It has systematic blind spots baked into its training. A different model — trained differently, with different biases and pattern preferences — catches what the first one misses.
`cross-review` is the bstack gate that enforces this discipline. Substantive PRs cannot merge until a *different evaluator* than the writer scores the work ≥ 7/10 against an anti-slop rubric.
## Origin
Inspired by [Dallionking/cross-model-agents](https://github.com/Dallionking/cross-model-agents) (May 2026) — 31-agent bidirectional Claude↔Codex review system. That project ships specific agents and hooks. `broomva/cross-review` absorbs the *discipline* while composing with the existing bstack adversarial-review skill toolkit.
## The 3 strata
Different mechanisms for different environments. The *substance* is the gate — what mechanism implements it is secondary.
| Strata | Mechanism | When | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| **A — True cross-vendor** | `codex exec -m gpt-5.4` (or similar) reads the diff and scores | Codex CLI installed | Strongest — different weights, different training, genuinely different blind spots |
| **B — Cross-context same-model** | Fresh `Agent` subagent under devil's-advocate brief reads diff and scores | Always available | Weaker than (A) but still strong —
