# Council Code Review Skill

Get multiple AI perspectives on code changes with structured, actionable feedback.

## When to Use

- Review pull requests before merging
- Get code quality feedback on implementations
- Identify potential issues across multiple dimensions
- Validate changes against coding standards

## Workflow

1. **Prepare Input**: Provide file paths or git diff
2. **Invoke Review**: Call `mcp:llm-council/verify` with code-review rubric
3. **Process Feedback**: Receive structured scores and issue list
4. **Address Issues**: Fix blocking issues before proceeding

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `snapshot_id` | string | required | Git commit SHA for reproducibility |
| `file_paths` | list | null | List of files to review (full file analysis) |
| `git_diff` | string | null | Unified diff format for change-focused review |
| `rubric_focus` | string | null | Focus area: "Security", "Performance", etc. |
| `tier` | string | "high" | Confidence tier: "quick", "balanced", "high", "reasoning" |

### Tier Selection Guide

| Tier | Use When | Timeout |
|------|----------|---------|
| `balanced` | Routine code reviews | ~90s |
| `high` | Quality-critical reviews (default) | ~180s |
| `reasoning` | Complex architectural or security reviews | ~600s |

## Input Formats

Supports both:
- `file_paths`: List of files to review (full file analysis)
- `git_diff`: Unified diff format for change-focused review
- `snapshot_id`: Git commit SHA (required for reproducibility)

## Rubric (ADR-016)

| Dimension | Weight | Focus |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| Accuracy | 35% | Correctness, no bugs, logic errors |
| Completeness | 20% | All requirements addressed |
| Clarity | 20% | Readable, maintainable code |
| Conciseness | 15% | No unnecessary complexity |
| Relevance | 10% | Addresses stated requirements |

## Output Schema

```json
{
  "verdict": "pass|fail|unclear",
  "confidence": 0.82,
  "rubric_scores": {
    "accuracy": 7.5,
    "completeness": 8.0,
    "clarity": 9.0,
    "conciseness": 8.5,
    "relevance": 9.0
  },
  "blocking_issues": [
    {

      "message": "Missing input validation"
    }
  ],
  "suggestions": [...],
  "rationale": "Overall, the code is well-structured..."
}
```

## Example Usage

```bash
# Review specific files
council-review --file-paths "src/main.py,src/utils.py" --snapshot abc123

# Review git diff
council-review --git-diff "$(git diff HEAD~1)" --snapshot $(git rev-parse HEAD)

# Review with custom focus
council-review --rubric-focus Security --file-paths "src/auth.py"

# Deep reasoning review for complex changes
council-review --snapshot $(git rev-parse HEAD) --tier reasoning --rubric-focus Security
```
