Review Work

Multi-Agent Work Review

Execute a multi-specialist work review using independent subagents.

Usage: /review-work-agent [optional file/area to focus on]

Arguments: Optional specific file path or area to focus the review on

Context

• Recent changes: !git diff HEAD
• Staged changes: !git diff --staged
• Modified files: !git status --porcelain
• Current branch: !git branch --show-current

Implementation

Execute this multi-specialist review using the Task tool to create independent subagents:

Phase 1: Specialist Assignment & Analysis

First, analyze the work type and determine 4-6 specialist roles needed. Then launch parallel subagents using the Task tool, including a parallel Codex "Fresh Eyes" review:

Example Implementation:

// Launch parallel specialist subagents
Task 1: "Code Quality Specialist"
- Prompt: "As a code quality specialist, review [target] by running git diff/git status, examining code for readability, maintainability, design patterns, and project conventions. Focus on framework-specific patterns, language idioms, and overall code structure based on the detected file types."

Task 2: "Security Engineer"
- Prompt: "As a security engineer, analyze [target] by examining git changes for vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, input validation issues, SQL injection risks, and XSS protection. Check authentication and authorization patterns."

Task 3: "Performance Analyst"  
- Prompt: "As a performance analyst, evaluate [target] changes for efficiency, database query optimization, React re-renders, algorithmic complexity, and scalability concerns using git diff analysis."

Task 4: "Test Coverage Specialist"
- Prompt: "As a test coverage specialist, assess [target] for testing adequacy, edge cases, integration points, and Playwright E2E testing needs. Use Tidewave MCP for Ecto schema analysis if applicable."

Task 5: "Codex Fresh Eyes Review" (PARALLEL)
- MCP: codex
- Prompt: "Review these git changes from scratch without specialist bias. Focus on overall design decisions, architectural consistency, alternative approaches, and anything that feels 'off' from a fresh perspective. What patterns do you recognize from similar codebases that might indicate future issues?"

[Additional specialists as needed based on file types...]

Each subagent operates independently with access to git analysis, file reading, and MCP tools.

Specialist Selection Criteria:

• Code files: Code Quality + Security + Performance + Test Coverage
• Documentation (*.md): Technical Writer + Requirements Analyst + Accuracy Validator
• Database/Schema: Database Specialist (w/ Tidewave + PostgreSQL CLI) + Data Security
• Mixed changes: Root Cause Analyst + Quality Engineer + System Architect

Phase 2: Cross-Pollination Round

After receiving all specialist reports, launch a second round of subagents:

Use the Task tool to launch subagents that:
1. Review all other specialists' findings for intersections and conflicts
2. Identify systemic issues spanning multiple domains
3. Cross-validate findings from their specialist perspective
4. Flag integration risks and broader impact
5. Assess collective severity of identified issues

Phase 3: Codex Meta-Analysis

After specialist synthesis, launch final Codex review:

Task: "Codex Synthesis Challenge"
- MCP: codex
- Input: All specialist findings + initial synthesis
- Prompt: "Review this multi-specialist analysis. What patterns do you see differently? What risks weren't considered? How would you re-prioritize these findings? Challenge the assumptions and provide alternative perspectives from your different training set."

Phase 4: Final Synthesis & Prioritization

For all rounds:

• Collect all subagent outputs (including Codex perspectives)
• Synthesize findings without losing specialist perspectives
• Integrate Codex challenges and alternative viewpoints
• Prioritize by criticality: Critical → Warnings → Suggestions
• Generate actionable recommendations with file:line references

Review Checklist

Each specialist should evaluate against these standards:

• Code Quality: Simple, readable, self-documenting, well-named, no duplication, follows conventions
• Security: No exposed secrets, proper input validation, SQL injection prevention, XSS protection
• Error Handling: Proper boundaries, meaningful messages, graceful degradation
• Performance: Efficient algorithms, no unnecessary re-renders, proper memoization, query optimization
• Testing: Adequate coverage, edge cases, integration points, E2E with Playwright, smoke tests with Tidewave MCP

Anti-Repetition Mechanisms

Moderator Responsibilities:

• Track thoroughly covered aspects vs. areas needing deeper analysis
• Redirect specialists to focus on unique domain contributions
• Push for concrete examples and file:line specificity
• Synthesize complementary findings from different perspectives

Specialist Guidelines:

• Build on other specialists' findings rather than restating
• Focus on domain-specific insights others likely missed
• Provide concrete examples of how to fix identified issues
• Consider broader system implications of findings
