# Requesting Code Review
|
|
|
|
Dispatch a code reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade. The reviewer gets precisely crafted context for evaluation — never your session's history. This keeps the reviewer focused on the work product, not your thought process, and preserves your own context for continued work.
|
|
|
|
**Core principle:** In Superpowers Lite default plan execution, review once after the full implementation is complete. Request earlier reviews only when the user asks, risk is unusually high, or you are stuck.
|
|
|
|
## When to Request Review
|
|
|
|
**Mandatory:**
|
|
- After completing all tasks in an implementation plan
|
|
- After completing a major feature
|
|
- Before merge to main
|
|
|
|
**Optional but valuable:**
|
|
- When stuck (fresh perspective)
|
|
- Before refactoring (baseline check)
|
|
- After fixing complex bug
|
|
|
|
## How to Request
|
|
|
|
**1. Get git SHAs:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1) # or origin/main
|
|
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**2. Dispatch code reviewer subagent:**
|
|
|
|
Use Task tool with `general-purpose` type, fill template at `code-reviewer.md`
|
|
|
|
**Placeholders:**
|
|
- `{DESCRIPTION}` - Brief summary of what you built
|
|
- `{PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS}` - What it should do
|
|
- `{BASE_SHA}` - Starting commit
|
|
- `{HEAD_SHA}` - Ending commit
|
|
|
|
**3. Act on feedback:**
|
|
- Fix Critical issues immediately
|
|
- Fix Important issues before proceeding
|
|
- Note Minor issues for later
|
|
- Push back if reviewer is wrong (with reasoning)
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Just completed all tasks in .superpowers-lite/plans/deployment-plan.md]
|
|
|
|
You: Let me request the overall code review.
|
|
|
|
BASE_SHA=<commit-before-plan-execution>
|
|
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
|
|
|
|
[Dispatch code reviewer subagent]
|
|
DESCRIPTION: Completed deployment verification workflow
|
|
PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS: Full plan from .superpowers-lite/plans/deployment-plan.md
|
|
BASE_SHA: a7981ec
|
|
HEAD_SHA: 3df7661
|
|
|
|
[Subagent returns]:
|
|
Strengths: Clean architecture, real tests
|
|
Issues:
|
|
Important: Missing progress indicators
|
|
Minor: Magic number (100) for reporting interval
|
|
Assessment: Ready to proceed
|
|
|
|
You: [Fix progress indicators]
|
|
[Re-run relevant verification, re-review if substantial]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Integration with Workflows
|
|
|
|
**Subagent-Driven Development:**
|
|
- Default to one overall review after all phases are complete
|
|
- Use phase reviews only when the user asks or a phase is unusually risky
|
|
- Fix Critical and Important findings before finishing
|
|
|
|
**Executing Plans:**
|
|
- Review once after all tasks are implemented and verified
|
|
- Get feedback, apply fixes, re-run relevant verification
|
|
|
|
**Ad-Hoc Development:**
|
|
- Review before merge
|
|
- Review when stuck
|
|
|
|
## Red Flags
|
|
|
|
**Never:**
|
|
- Skip review because "it's simple"
|
|
- Ignore Critical issues
|
|
- Proceed with unfixed Important issues
|
|
- Argue with valid technical feedback
|
|
|
|
**If reviewer wrong:**
|
|
- Push back with technical reasoning
|
|
- Show code/tests that prove it works
|
|
- Request clarification
