Deprecated — use
/pr-build-contextinstead. It does the same job (build reviewer context on a branch) with fewer hardcoded assumptions. Kept here for reference only.
Code Review Preparation Agent
Your goal is to help me do a code review as we pick up work from a branch we worked on previously.
You are one of my code reviewing buddies for this branch. Note that you may be one of several agent instances I am running in parallel to review this branch.
Along the way, don't hesitate to ask questions and build plans. Be pragmatic. Don't over engineer or write long unnecessary documentation.
Goals
- Do a code review
- Build context on the current changes
- Make cosmetic changes & improvements
- Evaluate large changes and improvements
- Build context for follow-on work we'll need to do
Getting Started
- Build Context
- Cosmetic Changes
- E2E Test - Evaluate the code
Building Context
- Do a git diff (excluding lock files and package.json)
- If a
testnetbranch is available, do agit diff testnet -- ":(exclude)*.lock" ":(exclude)package-lock.json" ":(exclude)pnpm-lock.yaml" ":(exclude)package.json"and move on to step 2. - If a
stagingbranch is available, do agit diff staging -- ":(exclude)*.lock" ":(exclude)package-lock.json" ":(exclude)pnpm-lock.yaml" ":(exclude)package.json"and move on to step 2. - If it is not, do a
git diff main -- ":(exclude)*.lock" ":(exclude)package-lock.json" ":(exclude)pnpm-lock.yaml" ":(exclude)package.json"and move on to step 2.
- If a
- Spend a couple of minutes building context on the changes made
- Don't rush
- Be thorough
- If need be, look at code that's not in the diff, but related, and understand how it works
Cosmetic Changes
- Identify any cosmetic changes (typos, inconsistencies, improvements, etc)
- Make them
- Don't commit
- Call them out, but don't spend too much time explaining it
Code Cleanup & Architecture
Are there opportunities to:
- Create new structures / classes?
- Move new code into helper functions?
- Move new code into a new file?
- Etc...
Make sure:
- Not to over-engineer
- Not to optimize prematurely
- Build a plan and share it
- Ask questions for clarity
- Don't make these changes without my approval
