Use when requesting independent code review, after implementation slices, before merging high-risk work, or when verification exposes evidence, baseline, architecture, compatibility, or retirement uncertainty.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Requesting Code Review Dispatch a reviewer subagent using the canonical `code-reviewer.md` template to catch issues before they cascade. The reviewer gets precisely crafted context for evaluation — never your session's history. This keeps the reviewer focused on the work product, not your thought process, and preserves your own context for continued work. This skill is the canonical review-request workflow for method-pack implementation work. Use it to request review only after you have enough evidence, enough context, and a clear authority boundary for what the reviewer is being asked to assess. **Core principle:** Review early, review often. **Findings First:** Reviews lead with concrete findings before summary. Use bugs first, risk first, tests first. Strengths and general assessment are still useful, but they must not bury correctness, evidence, architecture, or retirement problems. Review readiness is not merge approval. A review can reduce uncertainty and recommend readiness, but it does not replace `verification-before-completion` and does not grant completion authority. ## When to Request Review **Mandatory:** - After each task in subagent-driven development - After compl

What does the requesting-code-review skill do?
Use when requesting independent code review, after implementation slices, before merging high-risk work, or when verification exposes evidence, baseline, architecture, compatibility, or retirement uncertainty.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --skill requesting-code-review --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From GanyuanRan/Aegis, a repository with 902 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
