SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures code changes are reviewed thoroughly and early, reducing defects and regressions before they reach main branches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured review workflow: routes tasks through a dedicated code-review subagent to surface issues with precise context.
  • Guided feedback templates: provides a consistent template (WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, DESCRIPTION) to standardize reviews.
  • Pre-merge guardrails: helps teams enforce mandatory reviews for major features and critical changes.

Quick Start

Review a recent task by dispatching the code-review subagent to evaluate your latest changes using the provided template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code reviews before merging to main?

Automate code reviews by routing changes through a dedicated code-review subagent to surface issues early. This enforces a structured template with base and head SHAs, implementation summaries, and requirements references before merging to main.

What is a pre-merge code review workflow and when do I need it?

A pre-merge code review workflow ensures changes are evaluated thoroughly before reaching main branches. You need it after implementing major features or completing tasks to reduce defects and regressions early.

How do I standardize code review feedback for major features?

Standardize code review feedback by enforcing a guided template capturing WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, and DESCRIPTION. This provides consistent context for evaluating major features.

Can I use a subagent to review code changes after each task?

Yes, you can dispatch a code-review subagent to evaluate changes after each task. It provides precise context for evaluation, preserving developer focus while routing changes through formal pre-merge guardrails.

Does a structured code review workflow help prevent regressions?

A structured code review workflow helps prevent regressions by routing changes through a dedicated subagent to surface issues early. Pre-merge guardrails enforce mandatory reviews for critical changes before they reach main branches.

What's the best way to provide context for evaluating code changes?

The best way to provide context for evaluating code changes is using a formal template with base and head SHAs, a summary of what was implemented, and a plan or requirements reference to guide feedback.
