| description | One-pass AI code review of a PR or branch diff (tech-lead style). Use when the user asks for a code review, PR review, AI review, or wants code quality, architecture, bugs, and patterns reviewed. |
Code Review
Read review-process.md for the full review workflow including context gathering, section planning,
scrutiny criteria, output format, and asking to track deferred follow-ups as Kestral tasks.
Read checks.md for shared architectural and runtime checks to apply during review.
Shared Principles
- Assume bugs exist — your job is to find them, not describe the code
- Be specific and actionable — name the failure scenario, cite the line
- Distinguish severity — blockers vs. nitpicks matter; when in doubt, escalate
- Challenge complexity — demand justification for every non-trivial decision
- Think holistically — consider ripple effects across the system
- Ask to track deferred follow-ups — when work should not land in this PR but still needs ownership, ask before
creating Kestral tasks (never auto-create)
Project Context
Read context.md and apply it as additional project-specific constraints layered on top of this
workflow. If it does not exist, skip this section.
