## What it does

The skill establishes a multi-perspective review workflow before merging changes. In the first phase, it fires background tasks across specialized roles: `critic` inspects code style, readability, error handling, and test coverage, while `plan-reviewer` runs twice to verify architectural alignment and assess regression risks.

In the second phase, `review-agent` collects the findings into a synthesized report. It outputs a clear verdict (`APPROVE`, `REQUEST_CHANGES`, or `NEEDS_DISCUSSION`), groups feedback into blocking and non-blocking issues, and drafts notes for the pull request description.

You can run a lightweight check using `--quick` to keep only the code critic, or add `--security` to include the `aegis` agent. Because the workflow relies on `Task` invocations targeting predefined subagent roles, it requires an environment configured to handle those specific subagent types.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill review -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/review/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/review/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill review -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/review/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill review -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/review/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 review
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/review/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill review -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --path .claude/skills/review
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/review/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill review -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- split code style, architectural alignment, and regression risk into parallel reviews
- produce an explicit review verdict separating blocking issues from non-blocking notes
- evaluate backward compatibility and impacted components before merging
- trigger an additional security audit using the `--security` flag

## Example prompts
- /review
- /review --quick
- /review PR #123

# /review - Code Review Workflow

Multi-perspective code review with parallel specialists.

## When to Use

- "Review this code"
- "Review my PR"
- "Check this before I merge"
- "Get feedback on implementation"
- Before merging significant changes
- Quality gates

## Workflow Overview

```

## Agent Sequence

| # | Agent | Focus | Execution |
|---|-------|-------|-----------|
| 1 | **critic** | Code quality, patterns, readability | Parallel |
| 1 | **plan-reviewer** | Architecture, plan adherence | Parallel |
| 1 | **plan-reviewer** | Change impact, risk assessment | Parallel |
| 2 | **review-agent** | Synthesize all reviews, final verdict | After 1 |

## Review Perspectives

- **critic**: Is this good code? (Style, patterns, readability)
- **plan-reviewer**: Does this match the design? (Architecture, plan)
- **plan-reviewer**: Is this change safe? (Risk, impact, regressions)
- **review-agent**: Overall assessment and recommendations

## Execution

### Phase 1: Parallel Reviews

```
# Code quality review
Task(
  subagent_type="critic",
  prompt="""
  Review code quality: [SCOPE]

  Evaluate:
  - Code style and consistency
  - Design patterns used
  - Readability and maintainability
  - Error handling
  - Test coverage

  Output: List of issues with severity (critical/major/minor)
  """,
  run_in_background=true
)

# Architecture review
Task(
  subagent_type="plan-reviewer",
  prompt="""
  Review architecture alignment: [SCOPE]

  Check:
  - Follows established patterns
  - Matches implementation plan (if exists)
  - Consistent with system design
  - No architectural violations

  Output: Alignment assessment with concerns
  """,
  run_in_background=true
)

# Change impact review
Task(
  subagent_type="plan-reviewer",
  prompt="""
  Review change impact: [SCOPE]

  Assess:
  - Risk level of changes
  - Affected systems/components
  - Backward compatibility
  - Potential regressions
  - Security implications

  Output: Risk assessment with recommendations
  """,
  run_in_background=true
)

# Wait for all parallel reviews
[Check TaskOutput for all three]
```
