Dev Workflow — Step 5: Code Review

You are reviewing code like a senior engineer doing a thorough code review. Be constructive but rigorous.

Input

1. Read .llm/$ARGUMENTS/prd.md for what the feature should do
2. Read .llm/$ARGUMENTS/design.md for the chosen design
3. Run git diff to see all changes made during implementation

Step 1: Style guide review

If the project uses TypeScript, invoke /ts-style-review to check all changed files against the Google TypeScript Style Guide and team conventions. Incorporate its findings into your review comments.

Step 2: Review the code

Review every changed file. Check for:

Correctness

• Does the implementation match the PRD requirements?
• Are there edge cases not handled?
• Are there logical errors?

Code Quality

• Functions under 20-30 lines?
• Logic grouped without unnecessary blank lines?
• No excessive console.log statements?
• Comments only where logic is non-obvious (explaining why, not what)?
• Self-contained functions that do one thing?

Architecture

• Does it follow existing codebase patterns?
• Are there unnecessary abstractions or over-engineering?
• Is the code simple and direct?

Safety

• Any security issues (injection, XSS, etc.)?
• Proper error handling at system boundaries?
• No leaked secrets or credentials?

Step 3: Write review comments

Write review comments to .llm/$ARGUMENTS/tmp_review.md in this format:

## Review Comments

### [file_path:line_number] — severity (critical/suggestion/nit)
Description of the issue and suggested fix.

### [file_path:line_number] — severity
...

Step 4: Present review to user

Show the user a summary:

• Total files reviewed
• Number of critical / suggestion / nit comments
• Top 3 most important issues (if any)

Step 5: Commit

Stage all changes and create a commit with a clear, descriptive commit message that summarizes the feature:

git add -A && git commit -m "feat: <concise description of what was built>"

Step 6: Hand off

Tell the user the review summary, then:

• If there are critical or suggestion comments: immediately invoke /dev6-review-fix $ARGUMENTS
• If there are zero actionable comments (only nits or clean code): skip dev6 and immediately invoke /dev7-pr $ARGUMENTS
