$review

Overview

$review hands the work to the code-reviewer agent. Its pass is a broad one. Logic defects, maintainability, API contracts, backward compatibility, it looks at all of them. Run it once implementation is finished and you want an independent set of eyes on the result.

Example

$review
$review "review the auth module changes"
$review "review all of PR #42"

Running without arguments reviews the current changes (based on git diff).

When to use

• When you need an independent review after finishing implementation with $executor or $ralph
• As a quality check step before opening a PR
• When there are API changes and you need to verify backward compatibility
• For general code quality checks unrelated to security

When to avoid

• Security-focused review → use $security-review
• Build or type error fixes → use $build-fix
• Design review before implementation → the critic stage in $ralplan is more appropriate
