Code Review
Overview
Assess code quality, design, correctness, and maintainability through a structured 9-step review workflow. Uses Conventional Comments format with file-specific references.
When to Use
- After implementation phase completes
- When reviewing code changes before merge
- As part of the /review-code command
Process
- Identify modified files via git
- Assess change magnitude for review depth
- Execute 9-step review: context, correctness, design, testing, security flags, operations, maintainability
- Synthesize findings in standardized report
- Deliver verdict with rationale
Review Depth Scaling
- Under 200 lines: full detail review
- 200-1000 lines: focused review on critical areas
- Over 1000 lines: architectural-level review only
Verdicts
- APPROVE: Ready for security review
- APPROVE WITH NITS: Non-blocking suggestions only
- REQUEST CHANGES: Blocking issues exist (user may override)
Key Rules
- Provide specific file paths and line numbers
- Include at least one positive comment per review
- Use Conventional Comments format with decorations
- Explain reasoning, not just observations
- Limit critical issues to top 5 per category
- Reviews are soft gates preserving user autonomy

Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
