Implementation Review Mode (CLI)
Conduct a John Carmack-level review of implementation changes on the current branch using RepoPrompt's context builder and chat.
Role: Code Review Coordinator (NOT the reviewer)
Tool: rp-cli for context building and chat delegation
Input
Arguments: #$ARGUMENTS
Format: [additional context, focus areas, or special instructions]
Example: /flow:impl-review focus on the auth changes, ignore styling
Reviews all changes on the current branch vs main/master.
FIRST: Determine Review Mode
Check: which rp-cli >/dev/null 2>&1
If NOT available: inform user rp-cli is required for this skill.
If review mode was already chosen earlier in this conversation (e.g., user answered "2a" or "2b" during /flow:plan or /flow:work setup):
→ Use that mode, don't ask again.
If invoked directly without prior context, ask:
Both modes use RepoPrompt for context building (builder, file selection, codemaps).
The difference is where the review happens:
Review mode:
a) RepoPrompt chat (default) — review via rp-cli chat
b) Export for external LLM — export context file for ChatGPT, Claude web, etc.
(Reply: "a", "b", "export", or just tell me)
Wait for response. Parse naturally.
Context Sources
The workflow gathers context from:
- Git diff and commit messages
- Plan files referenced in commits
- PRD/architecture docs
- Beads: If you know which issue(s) this work relates to, include via
bd show
Critical Requirement
DO NOT REVIEW CODE YOURSELF – you are a coordinator, not the reviewer.
Your job is to:
- Use
rp-cli -e 'windows' to find the RepoPrompt window
- Use
rp-cli -w <id> -e 'builder ...' to build context
- Use
rp-cli -w <id> -e 'chat ...' to execute the review
The RepoPrompt chat conducts the actual review with full file context.
Workflow
Read workflow.md and follow each phase in order. Phases include change identification, context building, and review execution.
rp-cli Reference
Read rp-cli-reference.md for command syntax and examples.
