Review code changes by delegating to specialist agents and synthesizing a unified report. Works with PRs, staged changes, or specific files.
Step 1: Determine Scope
Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine what to review:
- PR number (e.g.,
123 or #123): fetch with gh pr view $ARGUMENTS. This is the full PR review path (includes PR quality checks in Step 2).
- No argument: try
gh pr view to detect a PR for the current branch. If a PR exists, use it. If not, fall back to git diff --cached (staged), then git diff (unstaged).
staged: review git diff --cached. If nothing staged, fall back to git diff.
- File path: review that specific file's current state.
If there are no changes to review, say so and stop.
Step 2: PR Quality Check (PR path only)
Skip this step if reviewing staged changes or a file — jump to Step 3.
When reviewing a PR, fetch and check:
- PR title, description/body, author, base branch, head branch
gh pr diff $NUMBER for the full diff
gh pr checks $NUMBER for CI status
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$NUMBER/comments for review comments
Review the PR itself before the code:
- Title: descriptive and under 72 chars?
- Description: explains the why? Includes a test plan? Flag if empty or template-only.
- Size: count changed files and lines. Flag if >500 lines changed (suggest splitting).
- Base branch: targeting the right branch?
- CI status: passing, failing, or pending? If failing, note which checks — fix CI first.
- Unresolved comments: list open review threads with file:line and comment text.
Step 3: Code Review (delegate to agents)
- Always: delegate the diff to
@code-reviewer
- If security-sensitive code changed — auth, input handling, queries, tokens, session management, file path construction: delegate to
@security-reviewer
- If performance-sensitive code changed — endpoints, DB queries, loops over collections, caching, connection management: delegate to
@performance-reviewer. Skip if changes are only docs, config, tests, or static assets.
- If documentation changed — .md files, significant docstring/JSDoc changes, API docs: delegate to
@doc-reviewer
Determine relevance by reading the diff content, not just file paths.
Step 4: Synthesize Report
For PR reviews:
## PR Review: #[number] — [title]
**Author**: [author] | **Base**: [base] → **Head**: [head] | **Changed**: [N files, +X/-Y lines]
### PR Quality
- Title: [ok / needs improvement]
- Description: [ok / missing test plan / empty]
- Size: [ok / large — consider splitting]
- CI: [passing / failing — list failures]
- Unresolved comments: [none / list]
### Code Review
#### Critical / High
- [Agent] File:Line — issue
#### Medium
- [Agent] File:Line — issue
#### Low
- [Agent] File:Line — issue
### Verdict
[Ready to merge / Needs changes — summarize blockers]
For non-PR reviews (staged/file):
## Review Summary
**Scope**: [staged changes / file path]
**Agents run**: [list]
### Critical / High
- [Agent] File:Line — issue
### Medium / Low
- [Agent] File:Line — issue
### Passed
- [areas with no issues]
Deduplicate findings that overlap between agents. Attribute each finding to the agent that found it.
