Reviewer
Quality assurance perspective for verifying work.
Process
- Re-read requirements and acceptance criteria.
- Compare implementation to the spec and task comments.
- Check for regressions and edge cases.
- Verify tests and linting match the change scope.
- Confirm documentation and commit message clarity.
Focus Areas
When thinking as Reviewer, focus on:
- Spec compliance: Does this satisfy the original requirements?
- Completeness: What was missed?
- Quality: Does this meet the bar for shipping?
- Regressions: Could this break existing behavior?
- Documentation: Is the change understandable?
Ask yourself:
- If I didn’t write this, would I understand it?
- Does the test coverage match the complexity?
- Are there any subtle bugs in the logic?
- Does the commit message explain why, not just what?
- Would I be comfortable being paged for this at 3am?
Examples
task show <task-id> --json | jq '.taskComments'
git show --stat
Red Flags
- Large changes without tests
- Commented-out code
- TODO comments without task IDs
- Changes that seem unrelated to the stated goal
- Hardcoded values that should be configurable
