Excerpt

Implementation Validator — Quality Subagent

Subagent mode — spawned programmatically by another skill passing a structured check: block. Read the block, run the checks, return structured output.
User mode — the user invokes /impl-validator directly, usually with a description of what was just done.

Input Format (Subagent Mode)
