Code Review

Thorough code review with test verification and structured feedback.

Usage

/cipherpowers:code-review [--model=<sonnet|opus|haiku>]

Model guidance:

• opus - Deep analysis, security-critical code, complex architecture
• sonnet - Balanced quality/speed (default if not specified)
• haiku - Quick reviews, simple changes

MANDATORY: Skill Activation

Load skill context: @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}skills/conducting-code-review/SKILL.md

Step 1 - EVALUATE: State YES/NO for skill activation:

• Skill: "cipherpowers:conducting-code-review"
• Applies to this task: YES/NO (reason)

Step 2 - ACTIVATE: If YES, use Skill tool NOW:

Skill(skill: "cipherpowers:conducting-code-review")

⚠️ Do NOT proceed without completing skill evaluation and activation.

Algorithmic Dispatch

Decision tree (follow exactly, no interpretation):

1. Is this a code review request?

   • YES → Continue to step 2
   • NO → This command was invoked incorrectly

2. Have you already dispatched to code-review-agent agent?

   • YES → Wait for agent to complete
   • NO → Continue to step 3

3. DISPATCH TO AGENT NOW:

Use Task tool with:
  subagent_type: "cipherpowers:code-review-agent"
  model: [from --model arg if provided, otherwise omit to use default]
  description: "Code review workflow"
  prompt: """
  [User's original request or task context]

  Follow the conducting-code-review skill exactly as written.

  Review the recent changes and provide structured feedback.
  """

Model parameter rules:

• If user specified --model=X → pass model: X to Task tool
• If no model specified → omit model parameter (agent default applies)

4. STOP. Do not proceed in main context.

Why Algorithmic Dispatch?

• 100% reliability: No interpretation, no rationalization
• Agent enforcement: Persuasion principles prevent rubber-stamping
• Consistent quality: Every review runs tests, checks all severity levels
• Skill integration: Agent reads conducting-code-review skill automatically

What the Agent Does

The code-review-agent agent implements:

• Identify code to review (git commands)
• Review against practice standards (ALL severity levels)
• Save structured feedback to work directory
• No approval without thorough review

Note: Tests and checks are assumed to pass. The reviewer focuses on code quality, not test execution.
