 ## Step 3: REVIEWER - Research & Critique
 
-Use the **Agent tool** to spawn a `general-purpose` reviewer agent. The reviewer gets a fresh context, so pass the drafts **inline in the prompt** below (do not make the reviewer Read them). Scope the reviewer's file reads to content-critique essentials only — the reviewer does not need the LaTeX template files (`05`, `06`) or the behavioral profile (`02`) to critique content.

 **CRITICAL RULE:** All suggestions must be grounded in actual profile data. Do NOT suggest fabricating skills, experience, or achievements. If a requirement is a gap, say so honestly and suggest how to frame adjacent experience instead.
