Code Review

Multi-agent code review with parallel specialized reviewers, architecture validation, and challenge validation. Use `rq` to request a review of diffs (defaults to main branch), `rs` to respond to review findings. Triggers on "review this", "review my code", "code review", "check for bugs", "audit this", when examining PRs, pull requests, branches, or diffs. Always asks user before applying fixes. Use when this capability is needed.

Code Review Skill

Multi-agent code analysis with parallel reviewers and challenge validation.

Uses explicit subagent dispatch patterns from code-subagents.

Prerequisites

Required: git

Arguments

Command Routing

Invocation	Behavior
(no arguments)	Review diff to main branch
`rq`	Review diff to main branch
`rq main`	Review diff to main branch
`rq develop`	Review diff to develop branch
`feat/foo`	Review diff to feat/foo (bare branch = rq)
`rs`	Respond to review findings (interview mode)

Subagent Architecture

rq (Request Review) Subagents

Step	Subagent	Uses	Parallel	Purpose
1	Triage	`scout` agent	No	Detect context, select reviewers, identify skills to load
2	Reviewers	`general` subagent	Yes (per reviewer)	Specialty analysis (loads detected skills)
3	Synthesis	`general` subagent	No	Deduplicate findings
4	Architect	`architect` agent	No	Architecture review
5	Challenge	`oracle` agent	No	Validate findings with sequential-thinking

rs (Respond to Review)

No subagents. Interactive interview mode — see rs.md.

Dispatch Patterns

Follows code-subagents patterns:

Parallel dispatch for independent reviewers
Sequential dispatch for dependent steps
Fresh subagent per task — no context pollution
Skill loading pre-step before each analysis phase
Error handling: Log failures, continue with partial results

Agent Dispatch

Agent	Used In Step
`scout`	Triage (context retrieval, file analysis)
`architect`	Architect (architecture review)
`oracle`	Challenge (validate findings, sequential-thinking)
`general`	Reviewers, Synthesis

See agents/ for agent definitions.

References

Reference	Purpose
rq.md	Request review workflow - detailed steps with prompts
rs.md	Respond to review workflow - interview mode
reviewers.md	Reviewer definitions and prompts
output.md	Output format specification

Workflow Routing

No arguments, rq, or bare branch → rq.md
rs → rs.md
