 ### Added
 
 - **Epic dependency visualization skill** — New `flow-next-deps` skill shows epic dependency graphs, blocking chains, and execution phases. Triggers on "what's blocking", "execution order", "critical path", "which epics can run in parallel". Uses flowctl for data access with jq-based phase computation. Thanks [@clairernovotny](https://github.com/clairernovotny)! (PR #85)
+- **Copilot review backend** — Added GitHub Copilot CLI review backend with the same prompts/verdict parsing/receipts as Codex. Updated Ralph guard enforcement and documentation across flowctl/README/Ralph.

+#### Copilot (Cross-Platform Alternative)
+
+GitHub Copilot CLI works on any platform (macOS, Linux, Windows).
+
+**Why use Copilot:**
+- Cross-platform (no macOS requirement)
+- Terminal-based (no GUI needed)
+- Same Carmack-level review criteria as RepoPrompt
+
+**Trade-off:** Uses heuristic context hints from changed files rather than RepoPrompt's intelligent file selection.

+```bash

+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+/flow-next:plan-review fn-1 --review=copilot
+/flow-next:impl-review --review=copilot
+
+# Or via flowctl directly
+flowctl copilot plan-review fn-1 --files "src/auth.ts,src/config.ts" --model gpt-5.2

+```bash
+EPIC_ID="${1:-}"
+$FLOWCTL checkpoint save --epic "$EPIC_ID" --json
+```
+
+### Step 1: Execute Review
+
+```bash
+RECEIPT_PATH="${REVIEW_RECEIPT_PATH:-/tmp/plan-review-receipt.json}"
+
+# --files: comma-separated CODE files for reviewer context
+# Epic/task specs are auto-included; pass files the plan will CREATE or MODIFY
+CODE_FILES="src/main.py,src/config.py"  # Customize per epic
+
+$FLOWCTL copilot plan-review "$EPIC_ID" --files "$CODE_FILES" --receipt "$RECEIPT_PATH"
+```
+
+**Output includes `VERDICT=SHIP|NEEDS_WORK|MAJOR_RETHINK`.**
+
+### Step 2: Update Status
+
+```bash
+# Based on verdict
+$FLOWCTL epic set-plan-review-status "$EPIC_ID" --status ship --json
+# OR
+$FLOWCTL epic set-plan-review-status "$EPIC_ID" --status needs_work --json
+```
+
+### Step 3: Handle Verdict
+
+If `VERDICT=NEEDS_WORK`:
+1. Parse issues from output
+2. Fix plan via `$FLOWCTL epic set-plan`
+3. Re-run step 1 (receipt enables session continuity)
+4. Repeat until SHIP
+
+### Step 4: Receipt
+
+Receipt is written automatically by `flowctl copilot plan-review` when `--receipt` provided.
+Format: `{"mode":"copilot","epic":"<id>","verdict":"<verdict>","session_id":"<session_id>","timestamp":"..."}`
