SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Review workflows for code changes are often manual, inconsistent, and slow. This skill automates and structures code-review requests to ensure timely, thorough feedback before merges.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Code-reviewer dispatch: automatically initialize and assign a reviewer to a change.
  • Structured feedback: capture WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, and DESCRIPTION to guide reviewers.
  • Severity-based triage: categorize issues as Critical, Important, or Minor to prioritize fixes.
  • Pre-merge safety checks: verify alignment with plan and detect scope creep or missing tests.

Quick Start

Start a code-reviewer agent by providing WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, and DESCRIPTION.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate pre-merge code reviews?

Automate pre-merge code reviews by dispatching a code-reviewer agent to evaluate changes against requirements, reporting risks and gaps with severity levels and actionable fixes before merging.

What information is needed to start an automated code review?

To start a code review, provide details on what was implemented, the plan or requirements, the base SHA, the head SHA, and a description to guide the reviewer agent.

How does automated code review handle issue prioritization?

Automated code review handles issue prioritization by categorizing findings into severity-based triage levels: Critical, Important, or Minor, ensuring fixes are actionable and properly sequenced.

Can automated code review detect scope creep before merging?

Yes, automated code review can detect scope creep by performing pre-merge safety checks that verify alignment with the original plan and identify missing tests or unscoped changes.

What are the limitations of using an agent for code review?

Using an agent for code review requires structured inputs like base and head SHAs, limiting ad-hoc use. It enforces a formal feedback loop, which may not suit rapid prototyping without defined plans.
