Conducts a focused review from ONE specific specialist's perspective (e.g., Security Specialist, Performance Expert). Use when the user requests "Ask [specialist role] to review [target]", "Get [specialist]'s opinion on [topic]", "Have [role] review [code/component]", or when they want deep expertise in ONE specific domain. Do NOT use for comprehensive multi-perspective reviews (use architecture-review instead) or for listing available specialists (use list-members instead).
