What is a code review subagent?

A code review subagent is a specialized AI instance dispatched to analyze your code changes specifically against project requirements and best practices.

What should I do if the AI reviewer is wrong?

The skill encourages pushing back with technical reasoning. If the reviewer's feedback is invalid, provide code or test evidence to justify your implementation.

How does the skill identify what code to review?

The skill uses Git SHAs (Base and Head) to target the specific range of commits relevant to the task you just completed.

Can this skill be used with existing project plans?

Yes, it is designed to compare your implementation directly against plans or requirement documents provided in the task prompt.

When is the best time to request a review?

You should request a review after completing any major feature, after each task in a subagent-driven workflow, and always before merging to your main branch.

Collaboration Tools

Automates the code review process by dispatching specialized subagents to verify implementations against requirements before merging.

The requesting-code-review skill streamlines the development lifecycle by integrating automated, deterministic PR readiness checks. By dispatching a specialized code-reviewer subagent, it analyzes changes between specific Git SHAs to ensure that new code aligns perfectly with the original plan or technical requirements. This 'review early, review often' approach helps developers catch critical issues, logic gaps, and architectural flaws before they cascade into larger problems, making it an essential tool for subagent-driven development and high-velocity engineering teams.
