Code Review

Help the caller deliver a correct change within the agreed scope. Find defects and improvements whose consequences justify action; judge the code against its intended behavior and project requirements, not a preferred rewrite. Serious defects remain important even when the diff is small. An adequate change needs no findings.

Done when: required review and validation are complete, retained findings are supported by the source, and the caller has a clear result with any remaining coverage limits. Apply only when the invocation authorizes it, under the rules below.

Artifact Root

Resolve the CE artifact root <root> before composing any artifact path.

• Read docs_root from <repo-root>/.compound-engineering/config.yaml only (<repo-root> = git rev-parse --show-toplevel). Do not read it from config.local.yaml. Unset -> <root> is docs, exactly as before.
• Validate a set value: a repo-relative directory whose real, symlink-resolved path stays inside the repo and is neither the repo root nor under .git/. Otherwise stop with an error naming docs_root and the value -- never fall back to docs.
• Use <root> as the sole artifact location: create it if absent, compose each path as <root>/<subdir> with this skill's own subdirectory, and never also read docs.

Execution spine

Follow these steps in order; the references supply the detail but never change the order. Read each reference when you enter the step whose own work it governs; a read made before that step does not satisfy it, and a reference you only hand to a leaf is not one you read.
