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

  1. Identify modified files via git
  2. Assess change magnitude for review depth
  3. Execute 9-step review: context, correctness, design, testing, security flags, operations, maintainability
  4. Synthesize findings in standardized report
  5. 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
