SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures code changes are reviewed for quality and alignment before merging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured reviews: Dispatch a gremlins:code-reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade.
  • Plan-aligned feedback: Verify changes against the current plan and requirements.
  • Production readiness: Ensure reviews address risk, documentation, and testing needs before merge.

Quick Start

After completing a task, trigger the code-review process by dispatching the gremlins:code-reviewer subagent and providing the necessary context: WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, and DESCRIPTION.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code reviews before merging changes to the main branch?

Automate code reviews by dispatching a code-reviewer subagent after completing major features. This enforces a standardized review workflow to catch quality issues and verify alignment before merging.

What is the best way to ensure production readiness after a subagent task?

Ensure production readiness by triggering a code review process that verifies changes against current requirements. This addresses risk, documentation, and testing needs before any merge occurs.

How do I verify that code changes align with the original development plan?

Verify code changes align with your plan by providing the PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS alongside the BASE_SHA and HEAD_SHA. The reviewer subagent uses this context to generate structured, plan-aligned feedback.

What context do I need to provide to trigger a structured code review?

Provide WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, and DESCRIPTION. This context allows the code-reviewer subagent to evaluate the changes accurately and capture structured feedback.

Can I use this code review process to catch issues before they cascade in development?

Yes, dispatching a code-reviewer subagent catches issues before they cascade. It enforces a standardized review workflow applied after every subagent task or before main branch merges.

When should I initiate a code review during the development process?

Initiate a code review after every subagent task, after completing major features, or before merges to the main branch. This ensures quality and alignment are checked at critical development stages.
