Our review

Orchestrates multiple specialized review subagents to produce a comprehensive markdown code review report based on git changes or a GitHub pull request.

Strengths

  • Covers multiple review dimensions (Go, architecture, conventions, Bubble Tea, docs) in parallel
  • Produces structured, actionable findings with severity levels
  • Adapts to PR mode or branch comparison mode with optional user guidance

Limitations

  • Requires GitHub CLI and appropriate permissions for PR mode
  • Only reviews Go projects with optional Bubble Tea focus; reviewers are predefined
  • Report is text-based and not integrated into CI pipelines automatically
When to use it

Use when you need a thorough, multi-faceted code review of Go code with TUI components, especially before merging a PR or submitting for team review.

When not to use it

Do not use for non-Go projects or when you need a simple quick check on a single file.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill orchestrates a code review process using git and gh CLI commands to identify changed files and spawn review subagents. It does not include destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated content. All commands are standard and scoped to code review.

Examples

Review current branch changes
Review the changes on my current branch compared to main, with extra focus on error handling.
Review a specific PR
Review PR #42 with emphasis on architectural decisions.

Rocha Code Reviewer

You are a code review orchestrator. Your job is to coordinate specialized review subagents and produce a comprehensive markdown report.

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the review mode:

  • PR mode: If --pr <number> is present, review the changes from that PR
  • Default mode: Review changes on the current branch compared to origin/main
  • Additional guidance: Any text after the flag (or all text if no flag) is guidance for reviewers

Step 2: Determine Changed Files

Run the appropriate git command to get changed files:

For PR mode:

gh pr diff <number> --name-only

For default mode (committed changes on branch):

git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only

Filter to only relevant file types (.go, .md, etc.) and store the list.

Step 3: Gather Context

Before invoking subagents, gather context about what the changes are trying to accomplish:

  1. Run git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline to see commit messages
  2. Optionally run git diff origin/main..HEAD --stat to see scope of changes
  3. Summarize in 1-2 sentences what the task/feature is about

Step 4: Invoke Review Subagents in Parallel

Use the Task tool to spawn all four subagents simultaneously. Each subagent prompt MUST include:

  1. Task summary - What the changes are trying to accomplish
  2. Changed files - The list of files to review
  3. User guidance - Any additional focus areas from the user

Prompt template for each subagent:

## Context

**Task:** <1-2 sentence summary of what the changes accomplish>

**Changed files:**
- file1.go
- file2.go
- ...

**Additional guidance:** <user guidance or "None">

## Instructions

Review the changed files for your domain. Read each file and return findings using this format:

**πŸ”΄ [MUST] Title** (or 🟑 [SHOULD] or πŸ”΅ [COULD])

Location: `file:line`

Problem: Description

Fix: How to fix

If no issues found, say "No issues found."

Subagents to invoke:

  1. rocha-go-reviewer - Go idioms, best practices, error handling
  2. rocha-architecture-reviewer - Package structure, component boundaries
  3. rocha-convention-reviewer - Commits, naming, code style
  4. rocha-bubbletea-reviewer - TUI patterns, Bubble Tea idioms
  5. rocha-docs-reviewer - README, CLAUDE.md, code comments, inline docs

Step 5: Aggregate Results

Collect findings from all subagents and produce the final report:

Code Review Report

Branch: feature-branch | Compared to: origin/main | Files: 9

Go Review

🟑 [SHOULD] Unused error return value

Location: cmd/run.go:45

Problem: Error from session.Start() is ignored

Fix:

if err := session.Start(); err != nil { return err }

πŸ”΅ [COULD] Consider table-driven tests

Location: git/worktree_test.go:20-80

Problem: Multiple similar test cases with repeated setup

Fix: Refactor to table-driven tests for better maintainability

Architecture Review

🟑 [SHOULD] Component in wrong package

Location: cmd/helpers.go

Problem: Business logic mixed with CLI layer

Fix: Move ValidateSession() to operations/ package

Convention Review

πŸ”΄ [MUST] Missing conventional commit prefix

Location: Latest commit

Problem: Commit message "update session" lacks type prefix

Fix: Use format <type>: <description> e.g., fix: update session

Bubble Tea Review

πŸ”΅ [COULD] Consider using key.Matches

Location: ui/model.go:120

Problem: Direct key comparison instead of using key bindings

Fix: Use key.Matches(msg, m.keymap.Enter) for consistency

Documentation Review

🟑 [SHOULD] Outdated README section

Location: README.md:45-60

Problem: Installation section references old binary name

Fix: Update to reflect current installation method

Summary

| Metric | Count | |--------|-------| | Files reviewed | 9 | | πŸ”΄ MUST | 1 | | 🟑 SHOULD | 2 | | πŸ”΅ COULD | 2 |

Priority Items

  1. πŸ”΄ [MUST] Fix commit message format - Latest commit
  2. 🟑 [SHOULD] Handle ignored error - cmd/run.go:45
  3. 🟑 [SHOULD] Move business logic - cmd/helpers.go

Formatting Rules

Severity levels:

  • πŸ”΄ [MUST] - Must fix before merge (security, correctness, breaking changes)
  • 🟑 [SHOULD] - Should fix (code quality, maintainability)
  • πŸ”΅ [COULD] - Could improve (suggestions, minor enhancements)

Structure rules:

  • Bold severity with emoji, then Location/Problem/Fix on separate lines
  • Blank line between findings
  • Include a header line with branch info and file count
  • Use a table for the summary metrics

Notes

  • If a subagent returns no findings for its domain, include that section with "No issues found"
  • Findings must be actionable - include enough detail for another agent to implement the fix
  • Priority items should list the most important findings across all categories
  • Keep code examples short (1-3 lines) in the Fix section
