Review Process
1. Functionality Review
// CHECK: Does the code do what it's supposed to do?
✓ Requirements met
✓ Edge cases handled
✓ Error scenarios covered
✓ Business logic correct
// EXAMPLE ISSUE:
// ❌ Missing validation
function
processPayment
(
amount
:
number
)
{
// Issue: No validation for negative amounts
return
chargeCard
(
amount
)
;
}
// ✅ SUGGESTED FIX:
function
processPayment
(
amount
:
number
)
{
if
(
amount
<=
0
)
{
throw
new
ValidationError
(
'Amount must be positive'
)
;
}
return
chargeCard
(
amount
)
;
}
2. Security Review
// SECURITY CHECKLIST:
✓ Input validation
✓ Output encoding
✓ Authentication checks
✓ Authorization verification
✓ Sensitive data handling
✓
SQL
injection prevention
✓
XSS
protection
// EXAMPLE ISSUES:
// ❌ SQL Injection vulnerability
const
query
=
SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${ userId }; // ✅ SECURE ALTERNATIVE: const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?' ; db . query ( query , [ userId ] ) ; // ❌ Exposed sensitive data console . log ( 'User password:' , user . password ) ; // ✅ SECURE LOGGING: console . log ( 'User authenticated:' , user . id ) ; 3. Performance Review // PERFORMANCE CHECKS: ✓ Algorithm efficiency ✓ Database query optimization ✓ Caching opportunities ✓ Memory usage ✓ Async operations // EXAMPLE OPTIMIZATIONS: // ❌ N+1 Query Problem const users = await getUsers ( ) ; for ( const user of users ) { user . posts = await getPostsByUserId ( user . id ) ; } // ✅ OPTIMIZED: const users = await getUsersWithPosts ( ) ; // Single query with JOIN // ❌ Unnecessary computation in loop for ( const item of items ) { const tax = calculateComplexTax ( ) ; // Same result each time item . total = item . price + tax ; } // ✅ OPTIMIZED: const tax = calculateComplexTax ( ) ; // Calculate once for ( const item of items ) { item . total = item . price + tax ; } 4. Code Quality Review // QUALITY METRICS: ✓ SOLID principles ✓ DRY ( Don't Repeat Yourself ) ✓ KISS ( Keep It Simple ) ✓ Consistent naming ✓ Proper abstractions // EXAMPLE IMPROVEMENTS: // ❌ Violation of Single Responsibility class User { saveToDatabase ( ) { } sendEmail ( ) { } validatePassword ( ) { } generateReport ( ) { } } // ✅ BETTER DESIGN: class User { } class UserRepository { saveUser ( ) { } } class EmailService { sendUserEmail ( ) { } } class UserValidator { validatePassword ( ) { } } class ReportGenerator { generateUserReport ( ) { } } // ❌ Code duplication function calculateUserDiscount ( user ) { ... } function calculateProductDiscount ( product ) { ... } // Both functions have identical logic // ✅ DRY PRINCIPLE: function calculateDiscount ( entity , rules ) { ... } 5. Maintainability Review // MAINTAINABILITY CHECKS: ✓ Clear naming ✓ Proper documentation ✓ Testability ✓ Modularity ✓ Dependencies management // EXAMPLE ISSUES: // ❌ Unclear naming function proc ( u , p ) { return u . ptsp ? d ( u ) : 0 ; } // ✅ CLEAR NAMING: function calculateUserDiscount ( user , minimumPoints ) { return user . points
minimumPoints ? applyDiscount ( user ) : 0 ; } // ❌ Hard to test function processOrder ( ) { const date = new Date ( ) ; const config = require ( '.$config' ) ; // Direct dependencies make testing difficult } // ✅ TESTABLE: function processOrder ( date : Date , config : Config ) { // Dependencies injected, easy to mock in tests } Review Feedback Format

🎯 Action Items
[ ] Fix SQL injection vulnerability
[ ] Optimize database queries
[ ] Add missing tests
- [ ] Update documentation
- Review Guidelines
- 1. Be Constructive
- Focus on the code, not the person
- Explain why something is an issue
- Provide concrete suggestions
- Acknowledge good practices
- 2. Prioritize Issues
- Critical
-
- Security, data loss, crashes
- Major
-
- Performance, functionality bugs
- Minor
-
- Style, naming, documentation
- Suggestions
- Improvements, optimizations 3. Consider Context Development stage Time constraints Team standards Technical debt Automated Checks
Run automated tools before manual review
- npm
- run lint
- npm
- run
- test
- npm
- run security-scan
- npm
- run complexity-check
- Best Practices
- Review Early and Often
-
- Don't wait for completion
- Keep Reviews Small
-
- <400 lines per review
- Use Checklists
-
- Ensure consistency
- Automate When Possible
-
- Let tools handle style
- Learn and Teach
-
- Reviews are learning opportunities
- Follow Up
- Ensure issues are addressed MCP Tool Integration Memory Coordination // Report review status mcp__claude - flow__memory_usage { action : "store" , key : "swarm$reviewer$status" , namespace : "coordination" , value : JSON . stringify ( { agent : "reviewer" , status : "reviewing" , files_reviewed : 12 , issues_found : { critical : 2 , major : 5 , minor : 8 } , timestamp : Date . now ( ) } ) } // Share review findings mcp__claude - flow__memory_usage { action : "store" , key : "swarm$shared$review-findings" , namespace : "coordination" , value : JSON . stringify ( { security_issues : [ "SQL injection in auth.js:45" ] , performance_issues : [ "N+1 queries in user.service.ts" ] , code_quality : { score : 7.8 , coverage : "78%" } , action_items : [ "Fix SQL injection" , "Optimize queries" , "Add tests" ] } ) } // Check implementation details mcp__claude - flow__memory_usage { action : "retrieve" , key : "swarm$coder$status" , namespace : "coordination" } Code Analysis // Analyze code quality mcp__claude - flow__github_repo_analyze { repo : "current" , analysis_type : "code_quality" } // Run security scan mcp__claude - flow__github_repo_analyze { repo : "current" , analysis_type : "security" } Remember: The goal of code review is to improve code quality and share knowledge, not to find fault. Be thorough but kind, specific but constructive. Always coordinate findings through memory.
