SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents risky merges by running a disciplined, parallel weekly code-review gate that aggregates evidence from multiple reviewers into a single release-ready verdict.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel, evidence-based gate: Reviews a weekly diff against origin/main by dispatching N code-semantics chunk reviewers plus security, dependency/CVE, and test-evidence workers, then synthesizes findings into BLOCKED/WARN/OK.
  • Strict merge-cadence enforcement: Runs only from /workweek-complete, with explicit refusal to prevent out-of-cycle gate misuse.
  • Seam-first chunk partitioning: Builds disjoint file-scope chunks while preserving seam-context nuclei, improving convergence and avoiding duplicated review coverage.

Quick Start

Ask the PM to run the weekly workflow and ensure the gate is invoked from /workweek-complete so the skill can produce the verdict for the upcoming release.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate pre-merge code review to prevent risky weekly merges?

Automate pre-merge code review by snapshotting the origin/main to HEAD diff and dispatching parallel Sonnet reviewers. This aggregates security, dependency, and test evidence into a single BLOCKED, WARN, or OK verdict to halt risky merges.

What is parallel code review and how does it work for release gating?

Parallel code review partitions a narrowed code diff into disjoint file-scope chunks while preserving seam-context nuclei. Multiple reviewers analyze these chunks simultaneously, and a synthesizer emits a structured BLOCKED, WARN, or OK verdict for release gating.

How do I run a security audit and CVE dependency scan on a weekly diff?

Run a security audit and CVE dependency scan by executing a weekly code-review gate that dispatches dedicated security and dependency workers across the full diff. This validates findings on disk before synthesizing them into a final merge verdict.

Can I trigger a merge gate review outside of the weekly release cadence?

No, you cannot trigger a merge gate review outside the weekly cadence. The review process enforces strict merge-cadence rules and explicitly refuses to run outside the designated /workweek-complete cycle to prevent out-of-cycle gate misuse.

Does parallel code review work without rewriting the original source files?

Yes, parallel code review works without rewriting source files by using a no-rewrite synthesizer. It aggregates evidence from multiple reviewers and outputs structured BLOCKED, WARN, or OK verdicts alongside evidence outputs, leaving the codebase untouched.

What is the best way to structure code chunks for parallel review convergence?

The best way to structure code chunks for parallel review is using seam-first partitioning. This builds disjoint file-scope chunks while preserving seam-context nuclei, which improves convergence and avoids duplicated review coverage across the diff.
