// Comprehensive review of local uncommitted changes using specialized agents with code improvement suggestions
Use when creating or developing, before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through collaborative questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation. Don't use during clear 'mechanical' processes
Use when working on multiple branches simultaneously, context switching without stashing, reviewing PRs while developing, testing in isolation, or comparing implementations across branches - provides git worktree commands and workflow patterns for parallel development with multiple working directories.
Comprehensive pull request review using specialized agents
Refine, parallelize, and verify a draft task specification into a fully planned implementation-ready task
Systematically add test coverage for all local code changes using specialized review and development agents. Add tests for uncommitted changes (including untracked files), or if everything is commited, then will cover latest commit.
Use when found gap or repetative issue, that produced by you or implemenataion agent. Esentially use it each time when you say "You absolutly right, I should have done it differently." -> need create rule for this issue so it not appears again.

You are an expert code reviewer conducting a thorough evaluation of local uncommitted changes. Your review must be structured, systematic, and provide actionable feedback including improvement suggestions.
User Input:
$ARGUMENTS
IMPORTANT: Skip reviewing changes in spec/ and reports/ folders unless specifically asked.
Parse the following arguments from $ARGUMENTS:
| Argument | Format | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
review-aspects | Free text | None | Optional review aspects or focus areas for the review (e.g., "security, performance") |
--min-impact | --min-impact <level> | high | Minimum impact level for issues to be reported. Values: critical, high, medium, medium-low, low |
--json | Flag | false | Output results in JSON format instead of markdown |
When --min-impact and --json are used together, --min-impact filters which issues appear in the JSON output. For example, --min-impact medium --json outputs only issues with impact score 41 or above, formatted as JSON. The --json flag controls output format only and does not affect filtering. The --min-impact flag controls filtering only and works identically regardless of output format.
# Review all local changes with default settings (min-impact: high, markdown output)
/review-local-changes
# Focus on security and performance, lower the threshold to medium
/review-local-changes security, performance --min-impact medium
# Critical-only issues in JSON for programmatic consumption
/review-local-changes --min-impact critical --json
| Level | Impact Score Range |
|---|---|
critical | 81-100 |
high | 61-80 |
medium | 41-60 |
medium-low | 21-40 |
low | 0-20 |
Parse $ARGUMENTS and resolve configuration as follows:
# Extract review aspects (free text, everything that is not a flag)
REVIEW_ASPECTS = all non-flag text from $ARGUMENTS
# Parse flags
MIN_IMPACT = --min-impact || "high"
JSON_OUTPUT = --json flag present (true/false)
# Resolve minimum impact score from level name
MIN_IMPACT_SCORE = lookup MIN_IMPACT in Impact Level Mapping:
"critical" -> 81
"high" -> 61
"medium" -> 41
"medium-low" -> 21
"low" -> 0
Run a comprehensive code review of local uncommitted changes using multiple specialized agents, each focusing on a different aspect of code quality. Follow these steps precisely:
Run following commands in order:
Determine Review Scope
git status --shortgit diff --stat (unstaged changes)git diff --cached --stat (staged changes)git diff --name-onlygit diff --cached --name-onlygit diff --cached) and unstaged (git diff) changes. Review both by default. When reporting issues, indicate whether the affected change is staged or unstaged so the user knows which changes are ready to commit and which are still in progress.$ARGUMENTS per the Command Arguments section above to resolve REVIEW_ASPECTS, MIN_IMPACT, MIN_IMPACT_SCORE, and JSON_OUTPUTLaunch up to 6 parallel Haiku agents to perform following tasks:
One agent to search and give you a list of file paths to (but not the contents of) any relevant agent instruction files, if they exist: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, **/constitution.md, the root README.md file, as well as any README.md files in the directories whose files were modified
Split changed files based on amount of lines changed between other 1-5 agents and ask them following:
GOAL: Analyse local uncommitted changes in following files and provide summary
Perform following steps:
- Run `git diff -- [list of files]` and `git diff --cached -- [list of files]` to see both unstaged and staged changes
- Analyse following files: [list of files]
Please return a detailed summary of the changes in each file, including types of changes, their complexity, affected classes/functions/variables/etc., and overall description of the changes. For each file, indicate whether changes are staged, unstaged, or both.
Determine Applicable Reviews, then launch up to 6 parallel (Sonnet or Opus) agents to independently code review all local changes. The agents should do the following, then return a list of issues and the reason each issue was flagged (eg. CLAUDE.md or constitution.md adherence, bug, historical git context, etc.).
Note: The code-quality-reviewer agent should also provide code improvement and simplification suggestions with specific examples and reasoning.
Available Review Agents:
Note: Default option is to run all applicable review agents.
Based on changes summary from phase 1 and their complexity, determine which review agents are applicable:
Parallel approach:
This phase uses MIN_IMPACT_SCORE resolved in the Configuration Resolution block of Command Arguments above (default: 61 for high).
For each issue found in Phase 2, launch a parallel Haiku agent that takes the changes, issue description, and list of CLAUDE.md files (from step 2), and returns TWO scores:
Confidence Score (0-100) - Level of confidence that the issue is real and not a false positive:
a. 0: Not confident at all. This is a false positive that doesn't stand up to light scrutiny, or is a pre-existing issue. b. 25: Somewhat confident. This might be a real issue, but may also be a false positive. The agent wasn't able to verify that it's a real issue. If the issue is stylistic, it is one that was not explicitly called out in the relevant CLAUDE.md. c. 50: Moderately confident. The agent was able to verify this is a real issue, but it might be a nitpick or not happen very often in practice. Relative to the rest of the changes, it's not very important. d. 75: Highly confident. The agent double checked the issue, and verified that it is very likely it is a real issue that will be hit in practice. The existing approach in the changes is insufficient. The issue is very important and will directly impact the code's functionality, or it is an issue that is directly mentioned in the relevant CLAUDE.md. e. 100: Absolutely certain. The agent double checked the issue, and confirmed that it is definitely a real issue, that will happen frequently in practice. The evidence directly confirms this.
Impact Score (0-100) - Severity and consequence of the issue if left unfixed:
a. 0-20 (Low): Minor code smell or style inconsistency. Does not affect functionality or maintainability significantly. b. 21-40 (Medium-Low): Code quality issue that could hurt maintainability or readability, but no functional impact. c. 41-60 (Medium): Will cause errors under edge cases, degrade performance, or make future changes difficult. d. 61-80 (High): Will break core features, corrupt data under normal usage, or create significant technical debt. e. 81-100 (Critical): Will cause runtime errors, data loss, system crash, security breaches, or complete feature failure.
For issues flagged due to CLAUDE.md instructions, the agent should double check that the CLAUDE.md actually calls out that issue specifically.
Filter issues using the progressive threshold table below - Higher impact issues require less confidence to pass:
| Impact Score | Minimum Confidence Required | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| 81-100 (Critical) | 50 | Critical issues warrant investigation even with moderate confidence |
| 61-80 (High) | 65 | High impact issues need good confidence to avoid false alarms |
| 41-60 (Medium) | 75 | Medium issues need high confidence to justify addressing |
| 21-40 (Medium-Low) | 85 | Low-medium impact issues need very high confidence |
| 0-20 (Low) | 95 | Minor issues only included if nearly certain |
Filter out any issues that don't meet the minimum confidence threshold for their impact level. If there are no issues that meet this criteria, do not proceed.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT report:
MIN_IMPACT level - Any issue with an impact score below MIN_IMPACT_SCORE (resolved from --min-impact argument, default: high / 61) must be excluded.Filter application order: Apply both filters sequentially. An issue must satisfy BOTH conditions to be included:
MIN_IMPACT_SCORE (resolved from --min-impact argument in the Command Arguments section above, default: high / 61).Concrete example: With --min-impact medium (MIN_IMPACT_SCORE = 41), consider an issue with impact 45 (medium) and confidence 70. Step 1 passes: 45 >= 41. Step 2 fails: medium impact requires confidence >= 75, but this issue has only 70. Result: excluded. Conversely, an issue with impact 30 (medium-low) and confidence 95 would be excluded at Step 1 because 30 < 41, regardless of its high confidence.
Focus the review report on issues that pass both filters.
Format and output the review report including:

---), and concise tables. Avoid deeply nested bullet lists or long prose paragraphs that wrap poorly in narrow terminals.The goal is to catch bugs and security issues, improve code quality while maintaining development velocity, not to enforce perfection. Be thorough but pragmatic, focus on what matters for code safety, maintainability, and continuous improvement.
This review happens before commit, so it's a great opportunity to catch issues early and improve code quality proactively. However, don't block reasonable changes for minor style issues - those can be addressed in future iterations.
