Routes reviews to specialized council members based on code context.

When to Invoke Council

  • PR reviews with significant changes
  • Architecture decisions or design proposals
  • New dependency additions
  • Security-sensitive code modifications
  • Performance-critical path changes
  • API surface changes

Routing Rules

ContextRoute ToWhy
Security-sensitive code (auth, crypto, input validation)@sentinelTroy Hunt mindset - security-first
Performance-critical paths (hot loops, data processing)@benchmarkerMatteo Collina - measure everything
New dependencies or abstractions@questionerRyan Dahl - challenge assumptions
API changes (public interfaces, CLI)@ergonomistSindre Sorhus - DX obsession
Deployment configs (Docker, K8s, CI/CD)@operator, @deployerKelsey + Guillermo - ops reality
Observability code (logging, metrics, tracing)@measurer, @tracerBryan + Charity - production debugging
Architecture decisions (module boundaries, patterns)@architectLinus - systems thinking
Complex abstractions (over-engineering risk)@simplifierTJ - elegant minimalism

Usage

When a review context matches multiple categories, invoke multiple council members. Each member votes: APPROVE, REJECT, or MODIFY with rationale.

Agent Aliases

All council members are available as Claude agents:

  • @questioner, @benchmarker, @simplifier
  • @sentinel, @ergonomist, @architect
  • @operator, @deployer, @measurer, @tracer
