Step 0: Determine Review Scope
Identify what to review from $ARGUMENTS. This could be:
- File paths (e.g.,
worker/src/routes/family.ts)
- A PR reference (e.g.,
#42)
- A git diff range (e.g.,
HEAD~3..HEAD)
- If no arguments, ask the user what to review.
Read all relevant files/diffs before starting the review.
Step 1: Determine Review Mode
Check the conversation history for business logic context provided by the user.
Technical Review
Evaluate every item and only report findings — do not list items that pass.
1. Correctness & Completeness
- Are all code paths handled? Edge cases: empty KV value, missing member, expired data, malformed input.
- Are conditional branches exhaustive? Check for missing
else, uncovered cases.
- Are async operations properly awaited? No floating promises.
- Are KV operations atomic where needed? Watch for read-then-write race conditions.
2. Error Handling
- Is every error caught and handled? No swallowed errors.
- Are proper HTTP status codes returned? (400, 401, 403, 404, 429, 500)
- Do error responses include machine-readable
code field?
- Are errors wrapped in the
{ data, error } response envelope?
- Do error paths clean up any partial state? (e.g., if family creation fails after KV write)
3. Input Validation
- Are all user inputs validated at the handler level before processing?
- Are type coercions safe? No implicit
string → number without validation.
- Are KV keys constructed safely? No user-controlled injection into key patterns.
- Are request body schemas validated (required fields, types, lengths)?
4. Security
- Auth checks on all protected routes? Token validation correct?
- Auth token validation on all protected routes?
- Rate limiting applied where needed?
- No KV key injection via user-controlled input?
- Constant-time comparison for security-sensitive values (tokens, fingerprints)?
- CORS headers properly restrictive?
5. KV Design
- Key patterns consistent with schema? (
user:{id}, family:{id}, member:{id})
- No orphaned keys on delete operations? (e.g., removing member should clean up
member:{id} reverse lookup)
- TTL set where needed? (e.g., OTP keys, public share links)
- Are KV reads batched where possible? Avoid N+1 reads in aggregation endpoints.
6. Performance
- Unnecessary KV reads? Can results be reused within a request?
- N+1 query patterns in bookshelf aggregation?
- Response payload size reasonable? No over-fetching.
- Are
waitUntil used for non-critical background work?
7. TypeScript Quality
- No
any types. Strict typing throughout.
- Are KV value types properly defined?
- Are handler return types correct?
- Is the
BoolFlag enum used for all boolean-like fields? (Never raw true/false or 0/1)
- Are generics used where appropriate for reusable utilities?
8. API Design
- RESTful conventions followed? Proper HTTP methods for each operation?
- Consistent
{ data, error } response envelope?
- Endpoint paths match the documented API contract?
- Idempotency considered for mutation endpoints?
9. Lifecycle & Resource Cost
The most expensive bugs are the ones that quietly burn KV / Worker budget while no human is watching. Treat any endpoint that may be called periodically (or any background job) as a budget commitment that must be justified.
- Endpoints invited to be polled: If a frontend caller may invoke this endpoint on a timer, the design and the docstring must answer: what is the expected call rate per active user per day? Compare against Cloudflare Workers' ~100k req/day free tier. Flag if the realistic worst case (one user, tab idle 24h) exceeds 1,000 requests per user per day — that is a sign the frontend should be on-demand, not periodic.
- TTL aligned with lifecycle, not arbitrary: KV TTLs should mirror how the value is actually used. A token used once should not live for hours. A cache that's invalidated on every mutation should not have a long TTL. A short-lived OTP must have a short TTL even if the user never calls verify.
- No write-on-read patterns under polling: If a polled endpoint also writes to KV (audit log, last-seen, etc.), it doubles the cost and triggers KV write-rate limits. Prefer batching writes via
ctx.waitUntil or accepting eventual consistency.
- Background work via
ctx.waitUntil: Non-critical work (logging, cleanup, telemetry) should run in ctx.waitUntil to avoid blocking the response — but waitUntil work still counts toward Worker subrequest limits. Don't fire-and-forget into infinity.
- Scheduled jobs (cron, Durable Object alarms): Justify the schedule against actual change frequency. A nightly cleanup is usually fine; an every-minute reconciliation should have a written reason.
- Rate-limit counters as a safety net, not a budget: Rate limiting prevents abuse but does not justify expensive design. If your endpoint relies on rate limiting to keep cost down, redesign — the rate limit will eventually be tuned looser, and the underlying cost remains.
Logic-Aware Review
When business logic context is available, follow this structured analysis before the technical review.
Phase 1: Happy Path Trace
- Identify the primary success flow described in the business logic.
- Trace from the Hono route handler through middleware, business logic, to KV operations.
- Verify every step of the happy path is correctly implemented.
- Confirm data transformations (request body → validated input → KV read/write → response) preserve correctness.
Phase 2: Scenario Expansion
- List all distinct scenarios (different member roles, family states, sharing settings).
- For each scenario, trace through the code and verify:
- The branching condition correctly captures this scenario.
- The behavior matches the business requirement.
- Permission checks are properly applied (member-only access, owner-only operations).
Phase 3: Edge Case Analysis
- What happens with boundary values (empty family, max members, expired TTL)?
- What happens with concurrent requests (two users joining simultaneously)?
- What happens if KV is temporarily unavailable?
- What if a member leaves while another is querying the bookshelf?
- What about stale data from KV eventual consistency?
Phase 4: Logic Integrity
- If logic contradicts the business requirements, raise it as Critical.
- If the business spec seems ambiguous, flag it for clarification.
Then: Also Perform the Technical Review
After the logic-aware phases, run through all items in the Technical Review section as well.
Output Format
IMPORTANT: Always output the full review as richly-formatted markdown. Maximize the use of tables for structured data — every finding MUST be presented in a table row, not as free-form bullet lists. Use horizontal rules (---) between every major section for clear visual separation. Use code blocks (with language tags) for all code snippets. The user reads this in a terminal and needs a highly scannable, table-driven report.
Review Summary
State the overall verdict as a single-row table:
| Verdict | Description |
|---|
| PASS | No issues found. Code is ready to merge. |
| SUGGESTIONS | Code can merge but has non-blocking improvement opportunities. |
| CRITICAL — DO NOT MERGE | Blocking issues that must be resolved. |
Then provide a Changes Overview table listing every changed file with a one-line summary:
| File | Change Summary |
|---|
path/to/file.ts | Brief description of what changed |
Findings
Every finding MUST be presented as a table row. Group by severity with --- separators between groups.
Critical (Blocking)
| # | Location | Issue | Impact | Suggested Fix |
|---|
| C1 | file:line | What is wrong | What breaks if not fixed | Concrete fix |
If none: display "None." in a single row.
Suggestions (Non-blocking)
| # | Location | Issue | Rationale |
|---|
| S1 | file:line | What could be better | Why this matters |
For each suggestion that includes a code change, add a fenced code block immediately below the table showing the suggested diff or replacement code.
Observations
| # | Note |
|---|
| O1 | Neutral observation — no action required |
Important guidelines:
- Be precise. Reference exact file paths and line numbers.
- Be constructive. Every criticism must come with a suggested improvement.
- Be honest. If something looks wrong, say so — do not soften critical issues.
- Stay focused. Do not nitpick formatting if a linter/formatter handles it (assume ESLint + Prettier are used).
- If you are uncertain about intent, ask rather than assume.
- Default response with Traditional Chinese if the user does not specify a language preference.
