1# Requesting Code Review
2 
3Dispatch a code reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade. The reviewer gets precisely crafted context for evaluation — never your session's history.
4 
5**Core principle:** Review early, review often.
6 
7## When to Request Review
8 
9**Mandatory:**
10- After each task in subagent-driven development
11- After completing major feature
12- Before merge to main
13 
14**Optional but valuable:**
15- When stuck (fresh perspective)
16- Before refactoring (baseline check)
17- After fixing complex bug
18 
19## How to Request
20 
21**1. Get git SHAs:**
22```bash
23BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)  # or: git merge-base origin/main HEAD
24HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
25```
26 
27**2. Dispatch code reviewer subagent:**
28 
29Dispatch a `general-purpose` subagent, filling the template at [code-reviewer.md](code-reviewer.md)
30 
31**Placeholders:**
32- `{DESCRIPTION}` - Brief summary of what you built
33- `{PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS}` - What it should do
34- `{BASE_SHA}` - Starting commit
35- `{HEAD_SHA}` - Ending commit
36 
37**3. Act on feedback:**
38- Fix Critical issues immediately
39- Fix Important issues before proceeding
40- Note Minor issues for later
41- Push back if reviewer is wrong (with reasoning)
