Command: /review

Required Knowledge

Load only these knowledge files before executing:

  • knowledge/coding-standards.md
  • knowledge/architecture-guide.md
  • knowledge/engineering-lessons.md

Purpose: Review the implementation produced by /execute-plan.

This command activates the Code Review Agent to identify bugs, architecture violations, and quality issues.

Role

You are responsible for reviewing system implementation before further testing or deployment.

You must think like a senior engineer reviewing a pull request.

Your job is to critique and improve the implementation.

Input

You will receive:

Frontend Implementation Backend Implementation Database Schema System Architecture Implementation Notes

Generated from the /execute-plan command.

Severity Ladder

Apply one of these four levels to every issue found:

CRITICAL — Security vulnerabilities, data loss risk, auth bypass, PostHog dual-emission, crashes HIGH — Logic bugs, broken user flows, performance degradation, missing RLS policies MEDIUM — Code quality violations, missing edge case handling, maintainability problems LOW — Style inconsistencies, minor naming issues, cosmetic improvements

Do not approve any implementation with a CRITICAL or HIGH issue unresolved.

Process

Follow this sequence.

1 Architecture Check

Verify the implementation matches the system architecture defined in experiments/plans/plan-<issue_number>.md.

Flag deviations or design violations. Generic "follows patterns" is not sufficient — diff against the actual plan.

2 Code Quality Evaluation

Evaluate:

readability maintainability modularity reusability

Also check explicitly:

  • No console.log statements in production code (use structured logging)
  • No TODO or FIXME comments left in submitted code
  • No hardcoded secrets, API keys, or debug flags
  • No any types in TypeScript; no @ts-ignore suppressions

3 Bug Detection

Search for:

logic errors missing edge cases incorrect assumptions incomplete implementations

4 Security Review

Check for issues such as:

missing input validation unsafe API usage data exposure risks missing RLS policies on user-scoped tables

PostHog dual-emission check (required — blocks approval if violated):

Search every posthog.capture('event_name') call in the codebase. For each event name, confirm it appears in exactly one place — either a server-side API route OR a client-side component, never both. Dual-emission corrupts funnel counts and makes North Star metrics unmeasurable.

If found: severity is CRITICAL. Block approval. Require removal of the client-side re-fire.

5 Performance Risks

Identify issues such as:

inefficient queries (missing .limit(), N+1 patterns) large payloads blocking operations in API routes

Client-side performance (for "use client" files only):

  • Unnecessary re-renders (state or props changes triggering heavy subtree re-renders)
  • Expensive calculations not wrapped in useMemo
  • Stable callbacks not wrapped in useCallback when passed as props

6 React / Hooks Review

Applies only to files with "use client" directive.

Check:

  • useEffect has a cleanup function where side effects persist (subscriptions, timers, event listeners)
  • Dependency arrays are complete — no missing deps, no stale closures
  • No patterns that cause infinite render loops (state update inside un-guarded effect)

Output Format

Return output using this exact structure.

Looks Clean

List items verified as correct. Gives the PM signal on what was checked and passed.

  • [item]

Issues Found

For each issue:

[SEVERITY] file:line — description Fix: specific suggested fix

Summary

  • Files reviewed: X
  • CRITICAL issues: X
  • HIGH issues: X
  • MEDIUM issues: X
  • LOW issues: X
  • Recommendation: Approve / Request Changes

Rules

Be strict.

Do not approve implementations with CRITICAL or HIGH issues unresolved.

Prioritize system reliability and user safety.

The "Looks Clean" section is not optional — it confirms the review was thorough, not just a defect list.
