Requesting Code Review
Dispatch superpowers:code reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade.
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
1. Get git SHAs:
2. 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
3. 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
Integration with Workflows
Subagent Driven Development:
Review after EACH task
Catch issues before they compound
Fix before moving to next task
Executing Plans:
Review after each batch (3 tasks)
Get feedback, apply, continue
Ad Hoc Development:
Review before merge
Review when stuck
Red Flags
Never:
Skip review because "it's simple"
Ignore Critical issues
Proceed with unfixed Important issues
Argue with valid technical feedback
If reviewer wrong:
Push back with technical reasoning
Show code/tests that prove it works
Request clarification
See template at: requesting code review/code reviewer.md
