SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Code reviews at staff level are time-consuming and require deep context across branches and changes. This Skill provides a structured, context-aware process to audit local branches, repos, directories, or specific files, ensuring critical issues are identified and documented.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope-aware review: reads the relevant plan (docs/plans/) or chronicle (docs/chronicles/) when available and dispatches a specialized reviewer.
  • Structured workflow: determines what to review from user input, coordinates with a staff-reviewer subagent, and leverages auxiliary skills or online research to verify findings.
  • Audit-ready output: returns findings with rationale, suggested fixes, and traceable context for future reviews.

Quick Start

Run a staff-level review on the current branch or the specified files.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is a staff-level code review and how does it differ from a standard review?

A staff-level code review analyzes local branches, repos, or files for deep structural quality. It differs by cross-referencing plans in docs/plans/ or chronicles in docs/chronicles/ to verify findings with full context before presenting audit-ready results.

How do I automate deep code reviews on a local branch?

Automate deep code reviews on a local branch by dispatching the staff-reviewer subagent. The process identifies review scope from user input, reads associated plans or chronicles, and coordinates with auxiliary skills to verify findings.

Can I perform a scope-aware code review on specific files instead of an entire repository?

Yes, scope-aware code review can target specific files, directories, or entire repositories. The process determines what to review from user input and applies associated plans or chronicles to ensure contextually relevant analysis.

Does the staff review process require existing plans or chronicles to function?

Existing plans or chronicles are utilized when available but are not strictly required. The staff review process can analyze branches, files, or changes directly, coordinating with auxiliary skills or online resources to verify findings independently.

What is the best way to document code review findings for future audits?

Document code review findings for future audits by generating audit-ready output. This structured format returns findings with rationale, suggested fixes, and traceable context derived from the reviewed plans, chronicles, or branch changes.

How does the staff-reviewer subagent coordinate with auxiliary skills during analysis?

The staff-reviewer subagent coordinates with auxiliary skills by leveraging them to verify findings during scope-based analysis. It reads user input, locates relevant context, and uses these tools alongside online resources before presenting results.
