FAQPage Schema
How do I catch code issues before merging to main?

Request code review after completing development tasks to detect issues early. This Skill dispatches a specialized code-reviewer subagent using a structured template, comparing your changes against the plan to produce a production-readiness assessment before merge.

When should I request a code review in my development workflow?

Request code review after each subagent task, upon completing major features, before merging to main, when stuck on a problem, before refactoring, or after fixing complex bugs. Early and frequent review prevents issues from compounding into costly rework.

How does automated code review with a subagent work?

Code review is automated by dispatching a code-reviewer subagent with a structured template. The subagent analyzes your implemented changes, compares them against the original plan, categorizes issues by severity, and delivers actionable feedback on production readiness.

Can I push back on code review feedback?

Yes. This Skill guides you to act on feedback by severity, and supports pushing back with technical reasoning when appropriate. You retain final decision-making authority on which suggestions to apply.

What's the benefit of reviewing code before merging pull requests?

Early code review prevents cascading issues that compound during development. Catching problems before merge reduces rework, lowers project risk, maintains high code quality, and keeps your development cycle efficient.

Do I need to set up anything to request code review?

No dependencies or prerequisites are required. After completing a development task, invoke this Skill to automatically dispatch the code-reviewer subagent with a structured review template.
