FAQPage Schema
How do I run a fresh-context code review before merging to main?

To run a fresh-context code review before merging, dispatch a subagent using the code-reviewer.md template, providing the implementation summary, plan, and git base and head SHAs to verify production readiness.

What is a fresh-context code review and how does it work?

A fresh-context code review is an independent assessment of code changes performed by a subagent that evaluates the work product against requirements, rather than relying on the session history of the original implementation.

When should I use a pre-merge code review subagent?

You should use a pre-merge code review subagent after completing each individual task, after finishing major features, and before merging to main, ensuring you catch issues early and maintain alignment with requirements.

What inputs do I need to provide for a code-review subagent to assess production readiness?

You need to provide the implementation summary, the original plan or requirements, the base SHA, the head SHA, and a description, filling in the placeholders in the code-reviewer.md template to receive a structured assessment.

What format does the code-reviewer subagent return for evaluating code changes?

The code-reviewer subagent returns a structured assessment of your code changes that includes identified strengths, issues categorized by severity, and actionable recommendations to guide fixes and risk management.

Does a fresh-context code review work without external dependencies?

Yes, a fresh-context code review works without external dependencies, as it operates by dispatching a subagent internally to evaluate the provided git SHAs and implementation details against the plan.
