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: Severity Action Critical Fix immediately, don't proceed Important Fix before next major task Minor Note for later, can proceed See severity guidelines for details. Integration with Workflows Subagent-Driven Development: Review after EACH task Catch issues before they compound Fix before moving to next task Executing Plans: Review after each batch (3 tasks) Get feedback, apply, continue Ad-Hoc Development: Review before merge Review when stuck Pushing Back on Reviews If reviewer wrong: Push back with technical reasoning Show code/tests that prove it works Reference plan requirements Request clarification See pushing back examples Common Mistakes Never: Skip review because "it's simple" Ignore Critical issues Proceed with unfixed Important issues Argue without technical justification Always: Provide full context in review request Fix Critical issues immediately Document disagreements with technical justification Re-review after fixing Critical issues Examples Need examples?
