SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill gives developers a repeatable workflow to get focused, evidence-based evaluations of recent code changes so defects and design issues are caught before they compound and block progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured reviewer dispatch: Provides a ready-to-use code-reviewer template that reviewers use to evaluate a git range and compare changes to the stated plan or requirements.
  • Severity-classified feedback: Requires classification of findings as Critical, Important, or Minor and delivers a clear ready-to-merge assessment.
  • Workflow integration: Use after each task in subagent-driven development, before merges, or when implementing major features to maintain quality and reduce regressions.

Quick Start

Request a focused code review by dispatching the code-reviewer with BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, and DESCRIPTION.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a focused code review for recent git changes before merging to main?

To get a focused code review for recent git changes, provide the base and head commit SHAs, a concise description of what was implemented, and the original plan or requirements to receive severity-classified feedback and a merge recommendation.

What is the best way to review code changes in subagent-driven development?

Reviewing code changes in subagent-driven development is best done by requesting a focused evaluation after completing each task or implementing major features to catch defects and design issues early before they compound.

How does severity-classified feedback work for a pull request code review?

Severity-classified feedback for a pull request code review works by evaluating the git range against stated requirements and categorizing all identified findings into Critical, Important, or Minor issues before delivering a clear merge assessment.

What do I need to provide to run a code review checklist on my recent commits?

To run a code review checklist on your recent commits, you need to provide the git base SHA, head SHA, a concise description of what was implemented, and the plan or requirements to compare the changes against.

Can I compare my code changes against the original plan to identify critical issues?

Yes, you can compare your code changes against the original plan or requirements to identify critical issues by requesting a focused evaluation that systematically classifies defects by severity and delivers a final merge recommendation.

When should I request a code review to catch critical and important issues?

You should request a code review to catch critical and important issues when completing tasks, implementing major features, during subagent-driven development workflows, or before merging to main to prevent regressions and reduce compounded errors.
