SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you catch bugs, design flaws, and missing requirements before they spread into later work or reach main, by enforcing a deliberate review step at the right moments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory review checkpoints: Prompts you to request review after each subagent-driven task, after major features, and before merging.
  • Focused reviewer context: Instructs the reviewer to evaluate only the work product, not your session history, so feedback stays sharp and relevant.
  • Structured severity assessment: Organizes findings into critical, important, and minor issues with clear guidance on what to fix now versus later.
  • Use case: After finishing a complex bug fix, you can have the assistant package the implementation summary, requirements, and git range so a reviewer can quickly assess production readiness.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to review your completed changes against the original requirements and return prioritized issues before you merge.

FAQPage Schema
How do I request a code review before merging changes to main?

A pre-merge code review catches bugs, design flaws, and missing requirements before they reach main by enforcing a deliberate review step. It applies to feature work, bug fixes, and refactors, organizing findings into critical, important, and minor issues with clear guidance on what to fix before merging.

How does a code review work for subagent-driven development?

For subagent-driven development, the review process prompts you to request an evaluation after each subagent task. The reviewer evaluates only the work product, not your session history, ensuring feedback stays focused on the implementation summary, requirements alignment, and git range you provide.

What do I need to run a focused code review on recent git changes?

A focused code review requires precise git ranges, implementation context, and requirements alignment to assess production readiness. The reviewer evaluates only the work product independently, returning structured severity findings on code quality, architecture, testing, and release risk.

Can I use this code review process for both bug fixes and major feature work?

Yes, the code review process applies to feature work, bug fixes, and refactors. It enforces mandatory review checkpoints after major features and before merging, assessing production readiness by returning prioritized, severity-based findings on code quality and release risk.

Does the code review look at my entire session history or just the final code?

The code review evaluates only your final work product, not your session history. This focused reviewer context ensures feedback stays sharp and relevant to the implementation summary, requirements, and git range, assessing production readiness independently.
