Skill Details

SKILL.md

Use when you need to request a code review for a PR/MR and want a consistent review brief (context, scope, risk areas, test instructions, acceptance criteria) before merge.

Overview

# Requesting Code Review

Dispatch code-reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade.

Core principle: Review early, review often.

How to Request

1. Get git SHAs:

```bash

# For PR/branch review (recommended):

BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)

HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)

# For single commit only:

# BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)

```

2. Dispatch code-reviewer subagent:

Use Task tool with template at [templates/code-reviewer.md](templates/code-reviewer.md)

Placeholders:

  • {WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED} - What you just built
  • {PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS} - What it should do
  • {BASE_SHA} - Starting commit
  • {HEAD_SHA} - Ending commit
  • {DESCRIPTION} - Brief summary

3. Act on feedback:

  • Fix Critical issues immediately
  • Fix Important issues before proceeding
  • Note Minor issues for later
  • Push back if reviewer is wrong (with reasoning)

Example

```

[Just completed Task 2: Add verification function]

BASE_SHA=$(git log --oneline | grep "Task 1" | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')

HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)

[Dispatch code-reviewer subagent with references/code-reviewer.md]

WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED: Verification and repair functions for conversation index

PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS: Task 2 from docs/plans/deployment-plan.md

BASE_SHA: a7981ec

HEAD_SHA: 3df7661

DESCRIPTION: Added verifyIndex() and repairIndex() with 4 issue types

[Subagent returns]:

Strengths: Clean architecture, real tests

Issues:

Important: Missing progress indicators

Minor: Magic number (100) for reporting interval

Assessment: Ready to proceed

[Fix progress indicators, continue to Task 3]

```

Integration with Workflows

Subagent-Driven Development:

  • Review after EACH task
  • Catch issues before they compound
  • Fix before moving to next task

Executing Plans:

  • Review after each batch (3 tasks)
  • Get feedback, apply, continue

Ad-Hoc Development:

  • Review before merge
  • Review when stuck

Red Flags

Never:

  • Skip review because "it's simple"
  • Ignore Critical issues
  • Proceed with unfixed Important issues
  • Argue with valid technical feedback

If reviewer wrong:

  • Push back with technical reasoning
  • Show code/tests that prove it works
  • Request clarification
