Requesting Code Review

This is a structured approach to triggering code review checkpoints in your Claude workflow, treating review as a formal step rather than an afterthought. The creator advocates mandatory reviews after subagent tasks, major features, and pre-merge, with optional reviews when you're stuck or before refactoring. It's essentially a discipline framework more than tooling. The value here is in codifying when to pause and review, which is useful if you're running multi-agent workflows where code can accumulate quickly without human checkpoints. Whether you need a skill file to remember to review your code is debatable, but if you're coordinating multiple Claude instances or subagents, having explicit review gates makes sense.

Requesting Code Review

Dispatch 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

Quick Start

1. Get git SHAs:

BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)  # or origin/main
HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)

2. Dispatch code-reviewer subagent:

Use Task tool with code-reviewer type, fill template at Code Reviewer Template

Required 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

3. Act on feedback:

SeverityAction
CriticalFix immediately, don't proceed
ImportantFix before next major task
MinorNote for later, can proceed
