SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill gives developers a repeatable workflow to get focused, evidence-based evaluations of recent code changes so defects and design issues are caught before they compound and block progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured reviewer dispatch: Provides a ready-to-use code-reviewer template that reviewers use to evaluate a git range and compare changes to the stated plan or requirements.
  • Severity-classified feedback: Requires classification of findings as Critical, Important, or Minor and delivers a clear ready-to-merge assessment.
  • Workflow integration: Use after each task in subagent-driven development, before merges, or when implementing major features to maintain quality and reduce regressions.

Quick Start

Request a focused code review by dispatching the code-reviewer with BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, and DESCRIPTION.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a focused code review for recent git changes before merging to main?▼

To get a focused code review for recent git changes, provide the base and head commit SHAs, a concise description of what was implemented, and the original plan or requirements to receive severity-classified feedback and a merge recommendation.

What is the best way to review code changes in subagent-driven development?▼

Reviewing code changes in subagent-driven development is best done by requesting a focused evaluation after completing each task or implementing major features to catch defects and design issues early before they compound.

How does severity-classified feedback work for a pull request code review?▼

Severity-classified feedback for a pull request code review works by evaluating the git range against stated requirements and categorizing all identified findings into Critical, Important, or Minor issues before delivering a clear merge assessment.

What do I need to provide to run a code review checklist on my recent commits?▼

To run a code review checklist on your recent commits, you need to provide the git base SHA, head SHA, a concise description of what was implemented, and the plan or requirements to compare the changes against.

Can I compare my code changes against the original plan to identify critical issues?▼

Yes, you can compare your code changes against the original plan or requirements to identify critical issues by requesting a focused evaluation that systematically classifies defects by severity and delivers a final merge recommendation.

When should I request a code review to catch critical and important issues?▼

You should request a code review to catch critical and important issues when completing tasks, implementing major features, during subagent-driven development workflows, or before merging to main to prevent regressions and reduce compounded errors.
