Description
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
Requesting Code Review
Dispatch superpowers:code-reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade. The reviewer gets precisely crafted context for evaluation — never your session's history. This keeps the reviewer focused on the work product, not your thought process, and preserves your own context for continued work. 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
How to Request
• Get git SHAs: `bash BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1) # or origin/main HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD) ` • Dispatch code-reviewer subagent: Use Task tool with superpowers:code-reviewer type, fill template at code-reviewer.md 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 • Act on feedback: • Fix Critical issues immediately • Fix Important issues before proceeding • Note Minor issues for later • Push back if reviewer is wrong (with reasoning)
Example
` [Just completed Task 2: Add verification function] You: Let me request code review before proceeding. BASE_SHA=$(git log --oneline | grep "Task 1" | head -1 | awk '{print $1}') HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD) [Dispatch superpowers:code-reviewer subagent] WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED: Verification and repair functions for conversation index PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS: Task 2 from docs/superpowers/plans/deployment-plan.md BASE_SHA: a7981ec HEAD_SHA: 3df7661 DESCRIPTION: Added verifyIndex() and repairIndex() with 4 issue types [Subagent returns]: Strengths: Clean architecture, real tests Issues: Important: Missing progress indicators Minor: Magic number (100) for reporting interval Assessment: Ready to proceed You: [Fix progress indicators] [Continue to Task 3] `
