description: Thorough code review of current branch against the default branch

# Code Review
Perform a thorough code review of the current branch against the base branch using parallel agents for speed.
## Workflow
### 1. Gather Context
Detect the base branch and collect the commit history and the diff in one Bash call:
```bash
BASE_BRANCH=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name 2>/dev/null || git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@')
: "${BASE_BRANCH:?no base branch found: ask the user which branch to review against}"
git fetch -q origin "$BASE_BRANCH"
echo "Reviewing $(git branch --show-current) against origin/$BASE_BRANCH"
git log --oneline "origin/$BASE_BRANCH"..HEAD
git diff --stat "origin/$BASE_BRANCH"...HEAD
git diff "origin/$BASE_BRANCH"...HEAD
```
### 2. Parallel Code Review
Launch these **reviewer** agents in parallel, each reviewing the same diff but focused on a different dimension:
**Agent A — Security & Data Integrity:**
- Security vulnerabilities (injection, auth bypass, data exposure)
- Data corruption risks
- Breaking changes to public APIs
- Resource leaks
**Agent B — Logic & Correctness:**
- Logic errors and edge cases
- Error handling gaps
- Race conditions
- Proper naming conventions
- DRY violations
**Agent C — Performance & Testing:**
- N+1 queries
- Unnecessary allocations
- Missing indexes (for DB changes)
- Inefficient algorithms
- Missing test coverage
- Inadequate edge case testing
- Flaky test patterns
**Agent D — Project Standards:**
- Compliance with the detected stack's lint and format config
- The rules of the matching house skill, loaded with the Skill tool (for example `Skill(skill="skills:php-expert")`)
- The user's and the project's CLAUDE.md rules
- Correct serialization annotations
- Code clarity and readability
Detect the stacks the diff touches from the manifests at the repository root and the changed file types, and give Agent D each stack's config files and house skill. Examples:
| Stack | Lint and format config | House skill |
|---|---|---|
| Gradle | ktlint through Spotless or the ktlint plugin (`.editorconfig`), detekt (`detekt.yml`) | kotlin-expert; android-expert for Android and Compose code |
| Maven | Checkstyle, PMD or Spotless configured in `pom.xml` | kotlin-expert for Kotlin code |
| PHP | Pint (`pint.json`) or PHP-CS-Fixer, PHPStan (`phpstan.neon`) | php-expert; swoole-expert for Swoole code |
| Node | ESLint (`eslint.config.*`), Prettier (`.prettierrc`), `tsconfig.json` | react-best-practices for React code |
| Rust | `rustfmt.toml`, Clippy (`clippy.toml`, `[lints]` in `Cargo.toml`) | — |
| Go | gofmt, golangci-lint (`.golangci.yml`) | — |
| Python | Ruff and mypy (`[tool.ruff]` and `[tool.mypy]` in `pyproject.toml`) | — |
| Docker | hadolint (`.hadolint.yaml`) if configured | docker-expert |
### 3. Merge & Report
Combine findings from all agents into a single structured report:
```
## Review Summary
- Files reviewed: X
- Issues found: Y (X critical, Y warnings, Z suggestions)
## Critical Issues (Must Fix)
1. [file:line] Description of issue
- Why it's critical
- Suggested fix
## Warnings (Should Fix)
1. [file:line] Description
- Impact
- Suggested fix
## Suggestions (Consider)
1. [file:line] Description
- Rationale
## Positive Notes
- Things done well
```
Deduplicate findings across agents. Prioritize by severity.
