gsd:code-review

SkillFiles & storage

Review source files changed during a phase for bugs, security issues, and code quality problems

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the gsd:code-review skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by davepoon/buildwithclaude in plugins/gsd/skills/code-review/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Spawns the gsd-code-reviewer agent to analyze code at the specified depth level. Produces REVIEW.md artifact in the phase directory with severity-classified findings.

Arguments:

  • Phase number (required) — which phase's changes to review (e.g., "2" or "02")
  • --depth=quick|standard|deep (optional) — review depth level, overrides workflow.code_review_depth config
    • quick: Pattern-matching only (~2 min)
    • standard: Per-file analysis with language-specific checks (~5-15 min, default)
    • deep: Cross-file analysis including import graphs and call chains (~15-30 min)
  • --files file1,file2,... (optional) — explicit comma-separated file list, skips SUMMARY/git scoping (highest precedence for scoping)

Output: {padded_phase}-REVIEW.md in phase directory + inline summary of findings

<execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/code-review.md </execution_context>

Optional flags parsed from $ARGUMENTS:

  • --depth=VALUE — Depth override (quick|standard|deep). If provided, overrides workflow.code_review_depth config.
  • --files=file1,file2,... — Explicit file list override. Has highest precedence for file scoping per D-08. When provided, workflow skips SUMMARY.md extraction and git diff fallback entirely.

Context files (CLAUDE.md, SUMMARY.md, phase state) are resolved inside the workflow via gsd-sdk query init.phase-op and delegated to agent via <files_to_read> blocks.

Execute the code-review workflow from @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/code-review.md end-to-end.

The workflow (not this command) enforces these gates:

  • Phase validation (before config gate)
  • Config gate check (workflow.code_review)
  • File scoping (--files override > SUMMARY.md > git diff fallback)
  • Empty scope check (skip if no files)
  • Agent spawning (gsd-code-reviewer)
  • Result presentation (inline summary + next steps)
