SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the process of requesting code reviews, ensuring they are initiated at the right time with all necessary context. This leads to faster, more effective feedback and quicker merges, reducing development cycle times.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contextual Review Requests: Automatically identifies the relevant commit range and generates a detailed request, including focus areas and changes, for a code-reviewer agent or human.
  • Mandatory Self-Review Integration: Enforces a self-review using the code-review skill before any external review is requested, improving initial quality and reducing reviewer burden.
  • Use Case: After completing a feature and performing a self-review, this skill will automatically identify the commits for your feature branch and dispatch a code-reviewer agent with a clear prompt to check for security, performance, and test coverage.

Quick Start

I've completed the user authentication feature and self-reviewed it. Use the requesting-code-review skill to get an external review for commits abc1234..def5678.

FAQPage Schema
How do I request a code review for my pull request?

Request code review by identifying your commit range and dispatching a code-reviewer agent with context about your changes, focus areas, and rationale. This skill automates that process after you complete self-review, ensuring reviewers have all necessary details for faster, more effective feedback.

What's the best way to streamline code reviews in my development workflow?

Implement a formal review protocol that enforces self-review before external review, identifies relevant commits, and uses standardized request templates. This reduces reviewer burden, catches issues early, and accelerates the merge cycle by providing clear context upfront.

How do I ensure code reviews include enough context?

Code review requests should capture commit ranges, focus areas, changes summary, and explicit rationale for your feature or fix. This skill generates detailed contextual requests automatically, guiding reviewers on what to prioritize—security, performance, test coverage—and reducing back-and-forth delays.

When should I do a self-review before requesting external code review?

Perform self-review immediately after completing a feature or major change and before requesting external review. This mandatory step improves initial quality, catches obvious issues, and ensures external reviewers focus on substantive feedback rather than basic problems, speeding up the overall review cycle.

Can I automate code review requests based on git commit ranges?

Yes. This skill automatically identifies commit ranges for your feature branch and generates a structured review request with all relevant context. It dispatches the request to a code-reviewer agent, eliminating manual prompt writing and ensuring consistency across your development workflow.

What's the difference between self-review and external code review?

Self-review is your initial quality check on your own code before merge; external code review is a peer or agent reviewing after. This skill enforces both sequentially—self-review first catches gaps, then external review provides fresh perspective on security, performance, and test coverage.
