What it does

When installed, the agent knows how to hand a finished piece of work to a separate code-review sub-agent instead of reviewing it inside the main conversation. It collects the git commit range and a short description of what changed, fills in a review template (code-reviewer.md), and then sorts the feedback into Critical, Important and Minor issues, with rules for when to fix them and when to push back on a reviewer who is wrong.

Great for

  • Developers using an agent to build features who want a second look before merging to main
  • Teams running multi-task plans where each completed task should be checked before the next starts
  • Anyone who wants to keep long coding sessions from filling up with diff review

Skip it if

  • People who want an automatic linter or test run, since this skill only prompts an agent to launch a review and runs no checks itself
  • Projects without git history, because the workflow depends on git commit SHAs

Try asking

  • “Review my last commit before I merge this feature into main”
  • “I finished task 2 of the plan, request a code review before starting task 3”
  • “Get a reviewer sub-agent to check the changes between my base branch and HEAD”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the reviewer a clear description and the plan or requirements it should check against; the template relies on these placeholders.
  • Use a precise BASE_SHA and HEAD_SHA so the reviewer sees only the intended changes.
  • The skill is written in Chinese; instructions and template text will be in Chinese, so non-Chinese users may want to read the template first.
