Check Your Work

Check Your Work

Orchestrate specialized agents to detect bugs, security issues, and quality problems in code changes.

When to Use

Invoke when user says:

• "check your work"
• "review what we wrote"
• "quality check the new code"
• "check for bugs in [files/feature]"
• After completing feature implementation
• Before committing significant changes

For Phase 2 details: references/phase-2-quality-checks.md For Phase 3 details: references/phase-3-validation.md For report format: references/consolidated-report.md

Phase 2 (6 Parallel)

Phase 3 (up to 3 Parallel)

Only spawns agents for severity levels that have findings.

Approval Gates

Include: Changed files, related files, test files Exclude: Generated types, node_modules, build artifacts

Critical Rule: Report ALL Bugs

NEVER dismiss findings because they are in "pre-existing code".

Report ALL bugs found in reviewed files regardless of when they were introduced. A bug discovered today that was written 3 months ago is still a bug worth fixing.

Invalid reasoning (DO NOT USE):

• "This is pre-existing code unrelated to the current feature"
• "I didn't introduce this bug in this session"
• "This code was written before my changes"

Correct approach:

• Report ALL bugs found in the reviewed files
• Classify by severity (P0-P3) based on impact, not origin
• Let the user decide which to fix

• Runtime behavior (use manual testing)
• Business logic correctness (requires domain knowledge)
• Test coverage (use test runner)
• Build errors (use typecheck/lint)
• Database migrations (use migration-test-and-push skill)

For comprehensive quality: Run check-your-work + typecheck + lint + tests

Quick Reference

Pattern files enforced:

• react-typescript-antipatterns.md
• CLAUDE.md
• zod-form-patterns.md
• tanstack-query-patterns.md
• performance-patterns.md

• references/phase-2-quality-checks.md - All 6 agents for parallel analysis
• references/phase-3-validation.md - Severity validation (up to 3 parallel by level)
• references/consolidated-report.md - Finding interface and report format
