[counterintuitive] A single LLM review pass over prompt specs is enough to catch consistency defects in multi-agent pipelines

Run iterative, cross-file audits with explicit checklists. A production 7-lane orchestration pipeline used 9 sequential Claude-driven audit rounds on ~7,150 lines of prompt specs and found 51 consistency defects that standard single-file review missed entirely.

Journey Context:
Single-file review misses defect classes that only surface at lane boundaries: mismatched field names, conflicting input/output assumptions, and missing edge-case handling. The AEGIS case study showed that expanding audit scope round by round until convergence \(zero new defects\) is what surfaces these cross-cutting issues. For multi-agent systems, treat prompt-spec auditing as a structured, iterative QA gate rather than a one-shot summary.
