enuno Requesting Code Review (Structured Review: Requirements Alignment + Production Readiness)
Goal: Make code review a repeatable process, not random comments.
Core principle: Review early, review often.
When Review is Required
Mandatory:
- After completing important features
- After each batch in
workflow-execute-plansends (default 3 tasks per batch) - Before merging to main branch
Optional but valuable:
- When stuck (get a fresh perspective)
- Before major refactoring (establish baseline first)
- After fixing complex bugs (verify no new regressions)
How to Initiate (Minimum Information Set)
1) Determine Review Scope (git SHA)
Prefer using "baseline before plan/task started" as BASE_SHA:
# Common approach: use main as baseline
BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null || git merge-base HEAD master)
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
If you want to review just the most recent commit within a small task:
BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
2) Prepare Review Basis (Plan / Requirements)
Review must provide:
- WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED: What you just completed (1-3 bullet points)
- PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS: Corresponding plan excerpt or requirements document path (e.g.,
run_dir/03-plans/features/<feature_slug>-plan.md)
3) Get diff (Evidence)
git diff --stat "$BASE_SHA..$HEAD_SHA"
git diff "$BASE_SHA..$HEAD_SHA"
Review Execution Methods (Choose One)
Method A: Sub-Agent Review (if your system supports it)
Use template: review-merge-readiness/code-reviewer.md, fill in placeholders and execute.
Method B: Self Review (works without sub-agent)
Check each item per template checklist and output same structured result (Strengths + Issues by severity + Verdict).
Review Output Format (Must Be Structured)
Output must include:
- Strengths: Specific positives (at least 1)
- Issues: Categorized by severity:
- Critical (Must Fix): Security/data loss/functionality bugs/would cause production incidents
- Important (Should Fix): Obviously poor architecture/missing error handling/test gaps/requirements misalignment
- Minor (Nice to Have): Style/small optimizations/documentation polish
- Assessment: Merge readiness (Yes/No/With fixes) + 1-2 sentence technical reasoning
Each Issue must include:
- Location:
file:line - What's wrong
- Why it matters
- How to fix (provide minimal change suggestion)
Relationship with Other Review Skills
review-clean-code: More focused on "maintainability/cleanliness", suitable for deep code smell investigationreview-react-best-practices: More focused on React/Next.js performance patterns (waterfalls/bundle/re-renders). Use when the diff touches React UI, data fetching, or performance-sensitive areas.- This skill: More focused on "requirements alignment/production readiness/merge verdict" conclusion-oriented review
If you just need a "can we merge?" verdict: use this skill.
If you want a deep health check: additionally invoke review-clean-code.
