Task Review Workflow

Task Review Workflow

Follow this workflow in order for every task-linked PR.

1) Gather Context

• Read the PR description.
• Open and read the linked task before reviewing code.
• Confirm expected behavior and acceptance criteria from the task context.

2) Review Against Standard

• Use REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md as the mandatory review baseline.
• Check correctness, edge cases, regressions, security, performance, and test adequacy.

3) Review the Diff Thoroughly

• Review file-by-file.
• Flag logic flaws, unsafe assumptions, missing validation, unclear naming, dead code, and side-effect risks.

4) Validate Locally When Possible

• Check out the PR branch.
• Run relevant test/lint/build commands.
• Exercise changed behavior directly where practical.

5) Write Clear Review Feedback

• Leave actionable, specific CR comments.
• Separate must-fix issues from optional suggestions.

6) Decide Outcome

• If issues remain: request changes with a concrete fix list.
• If quality is acceptable: approve/merge with a short merge note.

7) Execute Post-Merge Steps

• Move the related Trello card to Done.
• Delete the task branch after merge.
• Never delete the main branch.

8) Complete Handoff

• Send the final outcome back to the programmer agent:
  • merged, or
  • CR sent, or
  • waiting for fixes.
• Ensure the next task starts only after this outcome message.
