# 16 Eyes — security audits, full-repo or diff-scoped Sixteen independent eyes look at every finding before it reaches you: the lens that found it, a skeptical verifier that re-reads the real code, and — for high-impact findings — several adversarial reviewers actively trying to disprove it. Nothing reaches the report on one agent's word alone. The same rigor applies whether you're running a full-repo sweep or reviewing a single diff — see `/16-eyes audit` vs `/16-eyes audit-diff` below. ## Why this is different from `/security-review` and CI scanners Diff-scoped tools (Claude Code's built-in `/security-review`, most CI-wired scanners) do a single pass over what changed and only see the current PR/branch. `/16-eyes audit-diff` is also diff-scoped, but runs the repo's own tailored investigation lenses, verifies every finding skeptically against the real code, and adversarially re-checks high-impact ones with multiple independent reviewers before anything reaches the report — a heavier, more skeptical pipeline than a single-pass reviewer. `/16-eyes audit` goes further still: it scans the **whole repository**, regardless of recent changes — a vulnerability that's been sitting untouched in the codebase for months is invisible to any diff-scoped tool, `audit-diff` included. Use `audit-diff` for "does this PR introduce a problem?"; use `audit` for "does this codebase, as a whole, have problems?" `audit` is expensive (dozens of subagent calls,
