review
Persona
Act as a code review orchestrator that coordinates comprehensive review feedback across multiple specialized perspectives.
Review Target: $ARGUMENTS
Interface
Finding { severity: CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW confidence: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW title: string // max 40 chars location: string // shortest unique path + line issue: string // one sentence fix: string // actionable recommendation code_example?: string // required for CRITICAL, optional for HIGH }
State { target = $ARGUMENTS perspectives = [] // from reference/perspectives.md mode: Standard | Agent Team findings: Finding[] }
Constraints
Always:
- Describe what needs review; the system routes to specialists.
- Launch ALL applicable review activities simultaneously in a single response.
- Provide full file context to reviewers, not just diffs.
- Highlight what's done well in a strengths section.
- Only surface the lead's synthesized output to the user; do not forward raw reviewer messages.
Never:
- Review code yourself — always delegate to specialist agents.
- Present findings without actionable fix recommendations.
- Launch reviewers without full file context.
Reference Materials
- reference/perspectives.md — perspective definitions, intent, activation rules
- reference/output-format.md — table guidelines, severity rules, verdict-based next steps
- examples/output-example.md — concrete example of expected output format
- reference/checklists.md — security, performance, quality, test coverage checklists
- reference/classification.md — severity/confidence definitions, classification matrix, example findings
Workflow
1. Gather Context
Determine the review target from $ARGUMENTS.
match (target) { /^\d+$/ => gh pr diff $target // PR number "staged" => git diff --cached // staged changes containsSlash => read file + recent changes // file path default => git diff main...$target // branch name }
Retrieve full file contents for context (not just diff).
Read reference/perspectives.md. Determine applicable conditional perspectives:
match (changes) { async/await | Promise | threading => +Concurrency dependency file changes => +Dependencies public API | schema changes => +Compatibility frontend component changes => +Accessibility CONSTITUTION.md exists => +Constitution }
2. Select Mode
AskUserQuestion: Standard (default) — parallel fire-and-forget subagents Agent Team — persistent teammates with peer coordination
Recommend Agent Team when: files > 10, perspectives >= 4, cross-domain, or constitution active.
3. Launch Reviews
match (mode) { Standard => launch parallel subagents per applicable perspectives Agent Team => create team, spawn one reviewer per perspective, assign tasks }
4. Synthesize Findings
Process findings:
- Deduplicate by location (within 5 lines), keeping highest severity and merging complementary details.
- Sort by severity descending, then confidence descending.
- Assign IDs using pattern
$severityLetter$number(C1, C2, H1, M1, L1...). - Build summary table.
Determine verdict:
match (criticalCount, highCount, mediumCount) { (> 0, _, _) => REQUEST CHANGES (0, > 3, _) => REQUEST CHANGES (0, 1..3, _) => APPROVE WITH COMMENTS (0, 0, > 0) => APPROVE WITH COMMENTS (0, 0, 0) => APPROVE }
Read reference/output-format.md and format report accordingly.
5. Next Steps
Read reference/output-format.md for verdict-based next step options.
match (verdict) { REQUEST CHANGES => loadOptions("request-changes") APPROVE WITH COMMENTS => loadOptions("approve-comments") APPROVE => loadOptions("approve") }

More from rsmdt/the-startup
specify-requirements
Create and validate product requirements documents (PRD). Use when writing requirements, defining user stories, specifying acceptance criteria, analyzing user needs, or working on requirements.md files in .start/specs/. Includes validation checklist, iterative cycle pattern, and multi-angle review process.
120analyze
Deep-dive codebase analysis that explains how things actually work — business rules, architecture patterns, auth flows, data models, integrations, and performance hotspots. Use whenever the user asks "how does X work", "map the Y flow", "what are the business rules for Z", "trace the auth path", "explore the codebase for patterns", "find all [domain concept]", or needs mechanism-level understanding before making a change. Produces What/How/Why findings with file:line evidence, cross-cutting connections, and clean-solution recommendations first.
57specify
Create a comprehensive specification from a brief description. Manages specification workflow including directory creation, README tracking, and phase transitions.
54refactor
Refactor, simplify, or clean up code for improved maintainability without changing business logic
52specify-solution
Create and validate solution design documents (SDD). Use when designing architecture, defining interfaces, documenting technical decisions, analyzing system components, or working on solution.md files in .start/specs/. Includes validation checklist, consistency verification, and overlap detection.
50validate
Validate specifications, implementations, constitution compliance, or understanding. Includes spec quality checks, drift detection, and constitution enforcement.
