Conversation
Add new blog post exploring the value of agent-led PR reviews versus traditional human reviews. Covers: - The LGTM problem and its hidden costs - PR description as a canonical contract - Reasoning-rich review comments vs rubber stamps - The feedback loop that didn't exist before - Professional and impersonal tone as a feature - Capturing the 'why' in perpetuity Includes 6 image placeholders with watercolor PNW style prompts, a Mermaid feedback-loop diagram, and PR description template examples.

- Cold plunge opening: start with PR #8648 and Statler's subscription flag - Added real specifics: Sam/Statler/Scooter agents, Squad v0.9.4, PR #8648, tools-list.json - Removed all 'I want to be...' pre-announcements (6 occurrences) - Removed all 'Here's what I discovered' pivots (3 occurrences) - Removed AI vocabulary: qualitatively different, compounding effect, psychological safety, tribal knowledge, institutional knowledge, systematically, occludes signal - Reduced PNW metaphors: removed fog/lighthouse/tidal prose; kept one brief reference - Replaced literary headings with practical action-oriented ones - Embedded limitations inline instead of quarantined pro/con section - Replaced warm CTA with practical template + Squad CLI command - Broke rhetorical triads into asymmetric, punchy observations Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

- Rewrote 2026-05-22-agentic-pr-reviews.md to focus on own Squad agents (Sam, Statler, Scooter), PR #8648 walkthrough, PR description template, and feedback compounding loop within own workflow - Created 2026-05-22-cross-team-agent-reviews.md for the external/cross-team angle: receiving reviews from agents you don't control, standards transfer across team boundaries, the SME problem, and audit value when cross-team - Both posts are self-contained deep dives with draft: true - Image distribution: cross-team post gets cross-team-standards-transfer, psychological-safety, captured-in-perpetuity, nooksack images; own-squad post keeps hero, before-after, pr-description-as-contract, author-mindset Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
