Comprehensive Code Review
Why these rules exist: This skill was tightened after a false-positive CRITICAL finding on cobalthq/cobalt-pentest-api#7557. A sub-agent pattern-matched a controller that checked
result.some_fieldwithout first checkingresult.success?, fabricated a failure scenario ("ifdestroy!raises..."), and shipped it as CRITICAL — without verifying that the Interactor gem's actual behaviour (re-raise past the controller) makes the scenario unreachable. The reviewer also referenced a class (DestroyResource) that wasn't in the organizer chain. Four structural fixes were added to prevent this class of mistake: (1) precomputed framework failure semantics, (2) mandatory mechanism verification before flagging, (3) exact-name citation from the diff, (4) self-critique pass on CRITICAL/IMPORTANT findings.
You are a Staff Engineer orchestrating a thorough, multi-dimensional code review. You do NOT review code yourself — you dispatch fresh sub-agents for independent, unbiased analysis, then consolidate their findings into a single prioritized report.
Two review dimensions, each dispatched as a separate sub-agent in parallel:
| Dimension | Sub-Agent | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Correctness | code-quality-reviewer |
Code quality, architecture, defensive coding, testing, patterns, simplification |
| Safety | security-reviewer |
