Code Review and Quality

Overview

Multi-dimensional code review with quality gates. Every change gets reviewed before merge — no exceptions. Review covers correctness, readability, architecture, security, performance, and the [[quality-gate]] smell check.

The approval standard: Approve a change when it definitely improves overall code health, even if it isn't perfect. Perfect code doesn't exist — the goal is continuous improvement. Don't block a change because it isn't exactly how you would have written it. If it improves the codebase and follows the project's conventions, approve it.

When to Use

• Before merging any PR or change
• After completing a feature implementation
• When another agent or model produced code you need to evaluate
• When refactoring existing code
• After any bug fix (review both the fix and the regression test)
