## From README

Requesting Code Review Dispatch a code reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade. The reviewer gets precisely crafted context for evaluation — never your session's history. Core principle: Review early, review often. When to Request Review Mandatory: After each task in subagent-driven development After completing major feature Before merge to main Optional but valuable: When stuck (fresh perspective) Before refactoring (baseline check) After fixing complex bug How to Request 1. Get git SHAs: 2. Dispatch code reviewer subagent: Dispatch a general-purpose subagent, filling the template at code-reviewer.md Placeholders: {DESCRIPTION} - Brief summary of what you built {PLANORREQUIREMENTS} - What it should do {BASESHA} - Starting commit {HEADSHA} - Ending commit 3.
