DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOW / Superpowers
Requesting Code Review
Prepares a requirements-aware review brief around an explicit base and head revision.
“Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Gives the reviewer concrete requirements, implementation context and a bounded Git comparison.
- The companion reviewer template requires file references, severity and rationale and prohibits mutating the reviewed checkout.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- Full SKILL.md
- Full code-reviewer.md companion template
- LICENSE
Our findings
- The companion forbids moving HEAD or modifying the reviewed checkout and asks for a list of considered-but-unreviewed behavior.
Not established by this review
- No end-to-end agent session, effectiveness benchmark or target-project security assessment was run.
- No upstream installer, helper script or generated workload was executed.
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.

- Inspect the pinned skill and its supporting files before installation.
- Run the command from the intended project; use the installer prompts to select the agent and scope.
- Keep the complete skill directory and its licence. Install any task-specific tools separately and test on a small authorized example.
Before you start
- Node.js and npm for the Skills CLI
- An Agent Skills compatible coding assistant
- Git history and a host capable of dispatching the reviewer
