Requesting Code Review
Dispatch a review subagent or run the code-review workflow before issues compound.
When to Request Review
Mandatory:
- After each task in subagent-driven development
- After a major feature lands
- Before merge to main
Optional but valuable:
- When stuck and you want a fresh perspective
- Before a risky refactor
- After fixing a subtle bug
How to Request
-
Gather the context to review:
- what changed
- what it was supposed to do
- the relevant diff or commit range
-
Dispatch a review subagent:
- use spawn_agent
- give it the requirements, diff context, and any relevant AGENTS.md guidance
- when reviewing GitHub PRs, include the PR number and gh workflow details if available
-
Act on the findings:
- fix critical issues immediately
- fix important issues before proceeding
- document any deferred minor issues
