FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate code review feedback for technical rigor?

Code review feedback should be grounded in evidence and specific technical concerns. Request clarification on vague or unsupported comments, push back on performative agreement, and require reviewers to cite concrete issues like failing tests, architectural violations, or security gaps before accepting feedback as valid.

What verification gates should I enforce before marking code complete?

Verification gates require fresh evidence: passing test suites, successful builds, confirmed bug fixes, and completed checklists. Never claim completion without running these checks. Each gate enforces that code meets technical standards before merge, preventing incomplete work from advancing.

How do I request a code review through pull requests?

Dispatch the code-reviewer subagent with your PR and specific areas needing feedback. Provide context on changes, testing performed, and dependencies affected. This structured protocol ensures reviewers have the information needed to give technically rigorous, evidence-based feedback.

Why do code reviews need verification before claiming completion?

Verification gates prevent status claims without proof. A PR marked complete but with failing tests or unresolved issues creates technical debt and slows downstream work. Enforcing evidence-based checks—passing builds, test results, checklist sign-off—ensures quality before merge.

Can I use this approach across different development workflows?

Yes, verification gates apply across subagent-driven development, pull requests, and pre-merge checks. The core principle—enforcing technical rigor and fresh evidence before completion—works in any workflow using code review as a quality control step.
