SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of requesting and coordinating code reviews to catch issues early and prevent cascading defects as work progresses.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory review automation: Enforces reviews after each task in subagent-driven development.
  • Pre-merge validation workflow: Applies to major feature completion and before merging to main.
  • Template-driven collaboration: Uses a standardized workflow with the code-reviewer subagent and the template at code-reviewer.md to structure feedback.
  • Use Case: After finishing Task 2, trigger a review to validate changes before proceeding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review requests for subagent-driven development?

Automating code review requests requires dispatching the code-reviewer subagent with your BASE_SHA and HEAD_SHA to catch issues early and prevent cascading defects. This enforces mandatory peer validation after each task completion.

When do I need a pre-merge code review workflow?

A pre-merge code review workflow is needed for major feature completion and before merging to main. It validates changes after completing tasks in subagent-driven development to prevent cascading defects from progressing downstream.

What inputs do I need to run an automated pull request review?

Running an automated pull request review requires capturing the BASE_SHA starting commit, HEAD_SHA current commit, a brief summary of implemented changes, and a reference to the task plan or requirements before dispatching the code-reviewer subagent.

How does the code-reviewer subagent structure pull request feedback?

The code-reviewer subagent structures pull request feedback using a standardized template at code-reviewer.md, categorizing issues into Critical, Important, and Minor severity levels for acting on feedback before proceeding with merges.

Does this code review automation work without external dependencies?

This code review automation works without external dependencies, relying solely on dispatching the code-reviewer subagent and providing commit SHAs to enforce quality assurance in subagent-driven development workflows.
