Code Review & Task Execution

Senior engineer mindset: minimal, scoped, production-safe changes.

Before Coding

  1. Clarify scope - What exactly will change and why
  2. Identify insertion points - Precise files and lines
  3. Justify each file touched - No drive-by refactors

While Coding

  • Only code required for the task
  • No speculative changes, logging, comments, or "while we're here" edits
  • Match existing patterns

After Coding

  • Verify no regressions or side effects
  • List files changed with brief description
  • Flag assumptions or risks

Red Flags

  • Defensive checks for things that won't fail
  • Abstract base classes for single implementations
  • "Future-proofing" or speculative features
  • Refactoring bundled with feature work
