# Patterns

> Familiar ways to review, compare, decide, and keep work moving.

Choose a way of working that people recognise, then use it inside your
workflow. One model does the work, another reviews it, and a judge decides
whether another revision is worth doing. A person makes the calls you
leave to them. The same patterns fit a research summary, a translated
passage or a code change.

| When you want to... | Read |
| - | - |
| Give a writer useful notes from another model | [Get a Second Opinion](/patterns/writer-and-reviewer) |
| Decide whether another review round is worth it | [Know When to Stop](/patterns/judge-stops-the-loop) |
| Hear from several reviewers before accepting work | [Ask a Panel](/patterns/review-panel) |
| Try several approaches and keep the best-scoring pass | [Compare Different Approaches](/patterns/tournament) |
| Run a test or check and use its result | [Automate the Routine Work](/patterns/command-kickback) |
| Stop for a person's decision | [Ask a Person](/patterns/approval) |
| Approve exact file bytes and check the result | [Check Before Acting](/patterns/safe-change) |
| Let team members ask and answer during a run | [Bring the Team Together](/patterns/team-conversation) |
| Brief a colleague with relevant context | [Prepare context](/memory/mechanics) |
| Continue after an interruption | [Pick up unfinished work](/concepts/record) |
| Set the order, checks and decisions | [Follow a process](/concepts/workflows) |

The [feature team](/workflows/feature-team) gives Jev the decision about
another revision. `judge()` from `@obversa/runtime` sets the stopping rule:

```ts examples/teams/feature-delivery.ts (excerpt) theme={null}
  maxKickbacks: { implement: judge(jev, { cap: 4 }) },
```

Blocking findings go back within the cap. The judge weighs the other
findings against the work and its revision history. [Know when to stop](/patterns/judge-stops-the-loop)
shows the questions and a complete writing example.

The [literature watch](/workflows/research/literature-watch) combines
summaries, a person's selection and a question answered from the kept
notes. [Feature delivery](/workflows/feature-team) combines triage,
competing attempts, review and approval. Start with the patterns that fit
your work and combine them around the result you need.
