SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you verify that completed work meets requirements and code-quality expectations by dispatching a focused code reviewer before problems compound.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Review with the right context: Uses a precise review scope based on the current git state (committed range, uncommitted work, or mixed work).
  • Evidence-driven evaluation: Provides git status --short and exact diff commands so the reviewer can inspect only what matters.
  • Actionable feedback loop: Prioritizes Critical/Important/Minor issues and guides what to fix next to keep progress safe and efficient.
  • Use case examples: After finishing a task in subagent-driven development, before merging to main, or when you are stuck and want a fresh perspective.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to request a code review for your current changes by using your chosen review scope (committed range, uncommitted work, or mixed work) and including the required git status and diff outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions about requesting-code-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a code review for uncommitted git changes before merging?

A code review for uncommitted git changes evaluates your working directory by collecting git status and diff outputs, populating a review template, and routing it to a subagent to catch defects before merging to main.

What is the best way to validate code quality after completing a major feature?

Validating code quality after a major feature involves requesting a focused code review that uses git diff scopes to verify requirements and prioritize Critical, Important, or Minor issues before they cascade into additional work.

Can I review a specific committed range instead of my entire branch history?

Yes, you can review a specific committed range. The code review process supports committed range, uncommitted work, or mixed work scopes, ensuring the reviewer subagent inspects only the exact changes relevant to merge safety.

When do I need to run a focused code review in subagent-driven development?

You need a focused code review in subagent-driven development after completing tasks, finishing major features, or before merging to main. This timing catches defects early and keeps progress safe before issues compound into additional work.

Does git diff based code review work without installing extra dependencies?

Yes, git diff based code review works without extra dependencies. It relies on standard git status and diff commands to collect reviewable facts, populates a built-in code-reviewer template, and routes the evaluation to a subagent.

Why should I use a subagent for code review instead of reviewing the diff myself?

Using a subagent for code review provides an evidence-driven evaluation with a fresh perspective. It maps your git diff to a structured template, prioritizes actionable feedback by severity, and guides what to fix next to prevent cascading issues.
