SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Teams often miss important issues during rapid development, causing regressions after handoffs. This skill ensures consistent, pre-emptive code reviews by routing precise context to a reviewer.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated review triggering: Dispatches a reviewer subagent after each task, major feature, or before merge to main to catch issues early.
  • Context preservation: Provides only relevant work product context, avoiding exposure to session history.
  • Feedback workflow: Includes a structured template guiding the reviewer to assess code quality, architecture, and readiness.
  • Use Case: Before merging a feature branch, request a review to surface potential gaps and ensure alignment with requirements.

Quick Start

Dispatch the code-reviewer subagent with a concise description of what was implemented and the plan, and include the base and head SHAs to start the review.

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

Automate code reviews by dispatching a reviewer subagent after each task or major feature. You provide a description of what was implemented, the plan reference, and the base and head SHAs to trigger a structured diff evaluation before merging to main.

What context do I need to provide for a structured code review?

A structured code review requires a correctly filled description of what was implemented, a plan reference, and the base and head SHAs. This precise context enables the reviewer subagent to evaluate the diff thoroughly without exposure to session history.

When should I trigger a code review in a subagent-driven workflow?

Trigger a code review in a subagent-driven workflow after completing each individual task, after finishing major features, or before merging to main. It is also recommended to dispatch a review when refactoring or debugging to catch regressions early.

Does this code review automation work with Git branches?

Yes, this code review automation works with Git branches by requiring the base and head SHAs to identify the exact changes. Supplying these SHAs allows the reviewer subagent to evaluate the specific diff between the two states in your repository.

How does context preservation work during automated code review?

Context preservation during automated code review works by routing only the relevant work product context to the reviewer subagent. It avoids exposing the entire session history, ensuring the reviewer focuses solely on the provided diff and implementation details.

What is the best way to catch regressions before handoffs in rapid development?

The best way to catch regressions before handoffs is to request a structured code review before merging a feature branch. This surfaces potential gaps and ensures alignment with requirements by routing precise context to a reviewer subagent.
