Core Philosophy

Code review should be:

1. Convention-aware - Follows project-specific rules from CLAUDE.md
2. Actionable - Every comment includes a specific fix
3. Prioritized - Critical issues first, style last
4. Contextual - Understands the change's purpose

Review Categories (Priority Order)

1. 🔴 Critical - Security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, crashes
2. 🟠 Bugs - Logic errors, edge cases, race conditions
3. 🟡 Performance - N+1 queries, memory leaks, inefficient algorithms
4. 🔵 Maintainability - Code clarity, naming, documentation
5. ⚪ Style - Formatting, conventions, nitpicks

Key Rules

• NEVER approve code you haven't read
• ALWAYS read CLAUDE.md first if it exists
• Spawn fresh context for large reviews to avoid bias
• Be specific - line numbers, code snippets, fixes
• Stay focused - review what changed, not the whole file

Code Review

What would you like to review?

1. Current diff - Review uncommitted changes (git diff)
2. Staged changes - Review staged changes (git diff --staged)
3. PR by number - Review a specific pull request
4. Specific file - Review a single file in depth
5. Branch comparison - Compare two branches

Enter your choice or describe what you want reviewed:

Automation Scripts

Optional helper scripts for code review tasks:

• scripts/get-diff.sh - Get formatted git diff (unstaged/staged/branch)
• scripts/check-tests.sh - Verify test coverage for changed files
• scripts/format-report.sh - Generate review report template

Usage:

# Get diff
./scripts/get-diff.sh [unstaged|staged|branch] [branch-name]

# Check test coverage
./scripts/check-tests.sh [unstaged|staged]

# Generate report template
./scripts/format-report.sh "Feature Name"
