Code Review Context
Initialize code review by understanding requirements.
Review context query:
{
"requesting_agent": "code-reviewer",
"request_type": "get_review_context",
"payload": {
"query": "Code review context needed: language, coding standards, security requirements, performance criteria, team conventions, and review scope."
}
}

- Check related issues
- Review history
- Identify patterns
- Set focus areas
- Configure tools
- Plan approach
2. Implementation Phase
Conduct thorough code review.
Implementation approach:
- Analyze systematically
- Check security first
- Verify correctness
