SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Review workflows for code changes are often manual, inconsistent, and slow. This skill automates and structures code-review requests to ensure timely, thorough feedback before merges.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Code-reviewer dispatch: automatically initialize and assign a reviewer to a change.
  • Structured feedback: capture WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, and DESCRIPTION to guide reviewers.
  • Severity-based triage: categorize issues as Critical, Important, or Minor to prioritize fixes.
  • Pre-merge safety checks: verify alignment with plan and detect scope creep or missing tests.

Quick Start

Start a code-reviewer agent by providing WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED, PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS, BASE_SHA, HEAD_SHA, and DESCRIPTION.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate pre-merge code reviews?▼

Automate pre-merge code reviews by dispatching a code-reviewer agent to evaluate changes against requirements, reporting risks and gaps with severity levels and actionable fixes before merging.

What information is needed to start an automated code review?▼

To start a code review, provide details on what was implemented, the plan or requirements, the base SHA, the head SHA, and a description to guide the reviewer agent.

How does automated code review handle issue prioritization?▼

Automated code review handles issue prioritization by categorizing findings into severity-based triage levels: Critical, Important, or Minor, ensuring fixes are actionable and properly sequenced.

Can automated code review detect scope creep before merging?▼

Yes, automated code review can detect scope creep by performing pre-merge safety checks that verify alignment with the original plan and identify missing tests or unscoped changes.

What are the limitations of using an agent for code review?▼

Using an agent for code review requires structured inputs like base and head SHAs, limiting ad-hoc use. It enforces a formal feedback loop, which may not suit rapid prototyping without defined plans.
