Requesting code review: prepare a precise review request
After major work, give an independent reviewer the requirements, base, and change context.
Skills
After a major feature, before merging, or when stuck, this skill suggests an independent code review. Identify the base and current HEAD SHAs, then prepare a concise description, the relevant specification or plan, review scope, and key risks. Request review through the repository’s available workflow. Evaluate findings by severity, verify technical claims, and resolve important issues. The pinned source specifically proposes dispatching a general-purpose subagent with a focused template; do so only when the environment permits that delegation and the task authorizes it. Otherwise, provide equivalent context to an approved reviewer. This does not replace local tests.
