Use when receiving code review feedback (especially if unclear or technically questionable), when completing tasks or major features requiring review before proceeding, or before making any completion/success claims. Covers three practices - receiving feedback with technical rigor over performative agreement, requesting reviews via code-reviewer subagent, and verification gates requiring evidence before any status claims.

About code-review

The 'code-review' skill is designed to guide and enforce best practices in the code review process. It aims to address common issues such as unclear or technically questionable feedback, improper implementation of suggestions, and false completion claims. By following this skill, developers can ensure that code reviews are thorough, evidence-based, and focused on technical correctness rather than social comfort. The skill is especially useful in environments where subagents drive development, as it provides clear protocols for receiving and requesting reviews and verifying work before claiming completion.

FAQ

How do I use the 'code-review' skill?

This skill should be triggered when receiving code review feedback, requesting a review for your code, or verifying work before claiming completion. It guides you through the process of evaluating and responding to feedback, requesting reviews from the code-reviewer subagent, and verifying evidence before marking tasks as completed.

Can I use this skill with any version control system?

The skill is designed to work with systems that support Git, as it uses Git SHAs for requesting reviews. While it may be adaptable to other version control systems, the current documentation assumes Git-based workflows.

What happens if I don't verify feedback before implementing it?

The skill emphasizes verifying feedback before implementation to ensure technical correctness. Implementing without verification could lead to bugs, incorrect features, or incomplete solutions, which can cause delays or rework.
