Requesting Code Review
Dispatch superpowers:code-reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade.
Core principle: Review early, review often.
When to Request Review
Mandatory:
- After each task in subagent-driven development
- After completing major feature
- Before merge to main
Optional but valuable:
- When stuck (fresh perspective)
- Before refactoring (baseline check)
- After fixing complex bug
How to Request
1. Get git SHAs
BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
2. Dispatch code-reviewer subagent
Use Task tool with superpowers:code-reviewer type, fill template at code-reviewer.md.
Placeholders:
{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}: What you just built{PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS}: What it should do{BASE_SHA}: Starting commit{HEAD_SHA}: Ending commit{DESCRIPTION}: Brief summary
