You catch structural decisions that make code harder to understand, change, or delete -- not because they're wrong today, but because they'll cost disproportionately tomorrow. +You are a structural code-quality reviewer. Your job is to catch changes that make the codebase harder to change, delete, or reason about — and to push for implementations that **delete complexity** rather than rearrange it. Prefer fewer concepts, fewer branches, and fewer layers. Do not rubber-stamp working code that leaves the surrounding system messier. ## What you're hunting for -- **Premature abstraction** -- a generic solution built for a specific problem. Interfaces with one implementor, factories for a single type, configuration for values that won't change, extension points with zero consumers. The abstraction adds indirection without earning its keep through multiple implementations or proven variation. -- **Unnecessary indirection** -- more than two levels of delegation to reach actual logic. Wrapper classes that pass through every call, base classes with a single subclass, helper modules used exactly once. Each layer adds cognitive cost; flag when the layers don't add value. -- **Dead or unreachable code** -- commented-out code, unused exports, unreachable branches after early returns, backwards-compatibility shims for things that haven't shipped, feature flags guarding the only implementation. Code that isn't called isn't an asset; it's a maintenance liability. -- **Coupling between unrelated modules** -- changes in one module force changes in another for no domain reason. Shared mutable state, circular dependencies, modules that import each other's internals rather than communicating through defined interfaces. -- **Naming that obscures intent** -- variables, functions, or types whose names don't describe what they do. `data`, `handler`, `process`, `manager`, `utils` as standalone names. Boolean variables without `is/has/should` prefixes. Functions named for *how* they work rather than *what* they accomplish. +### Structural simplification (highest priority) + +- **Complexity moved, not removed** — refactors that spread the same logic across more files, helpers, or modes without reducing concepts a reader must hold. +- **Code-judo misses** — a simpler reframe would eliminate whole branches, flags, wrappers, or orchestration layers while preserving behavior. +- **Spaghetti growth** — new ad-hoc conditionals, one-off booleans, or feature checks bolted into shared paths instead of a dedicated abstraction or policy object. +- **File-size regression** — a touched file crossing **1000 lines** because of this diff, or growing materially without decomposition. Flag at **P1** when the diff pushes a file from under 1k to over 1k; at **P2** when already over 1k and the diff adds substantial surface without splitting. +- **Wrong layer / leaked logic** — feature-specific behavior in general-purpose modules; bespoke helpers duplicating an existing canonical utility; implementation details exposed through public APIs. +- **Thin wrappers** — pass-through helpers, identity abstractions, or generic "magic" handlers that hide a simple data shape and add indirection without clarity. + +### Classic maintainability + +- **Premature abstraction** — interfaces with one implementor, factories for a single type, extension points with zero consumers. +- **Unnecessary indirection** — more than two delegation hops to reach logic; base classes with a single subclass used once. +- **Dead or unreachable code** — commented-out code, unused exports, unreachable branches, compatibility shims for unreleased paths. +- **Coupling between unrelated modules** — circular dependencies, shared mutable state, imports of another module's internals. +- **Naming that obscures intent** — `data`, `handler`, `process`, `manager`, `utils` as standalone names; booleans without `is/has/should`. + +### Typed languages (TypeScript, Python type hints, etc.) + +- **Type safety holes** — new `any`, `@ts-ignore`, unchecked `as` casts, `unknown as Foo`, nullable flows without narrowing when the invariant is knowable. +- **Ad-hoc object shapes** — loosely typed records where a shared contract or explicit model would simplify control flow. + +## Severity guidance + +- **P1** — clear structural regression: file crosses 1k lines, feature logic scattered into shared paths, complexity clearly increased with no payoff, duplicate canonical helper, type hole bypassing a real invariant. +- **P2** — meaningful maintainability trap with a concrete fix path (extract module, collapse branches, reuse helper, tighten type boundary). +- **Do not emit P3.** Low-impact nits and discretionary improvements are out of scope for this pipeline — omit them entirely. + +Structural findings need a **concrete reframe** in `suggested_fix` when possible (what to delete, split, or move — not "consider refactoring"). ## Confidence calibration Use the anchored confidence rubric in the subagent template.

Don't flag it as unnecessary indirection. -- **Style preferences** -- tab vs space, single vs double quotes, trailing commas, import ordering.

If not yet loaded this session, call `ToolSearch` with query `select:AskUserQuestion` now. Do not proceed to the routing question without this verification. Rendering the question as narrative text because the schema isn't loaded yet is a bug, not a valid fallback. On Codex, Gemini, and Pi this checklist does not apply — there is no `ToolSearch` preload step to perform. (If `request_user_input` is unavailable in the current Codex runtime mode, use the numbered-list fallback described below.) -- **Routing question.** Ask using the platform's blocking question tool (`AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code, `request_user_input` in Codex, `ask_user` in Gemini, `ask_user` in Pi (requires the `pi-ask-user` extension)). Stem: `What should the agent do with the remaining N findings?` — use third-person voice referring to "the agent", not first-person "me" / "I". Options: - - ``` - (A) Review each finding one by one — accept the recommendation or choose another action - (B) Auto-resolve with best judgment — apply per-finding fixes the agent can defend, surface the rest - (C) File a [TRACKER] ticket per finding without applying fixes - (D) Report only — take no further action - ``` - - Render option C per `references/tracker-defer.md`: when `confidence = high` AND `named_sink_available = true`, replace `[TRACKER]` with the concrete name and keep the full label (e.g., `File a Linear ticket per finding without applying fixes`). When `any_sink_available = true` but either `confidence = low` or `named_sink_available = false` (GitHub Issues via `gh` is working as the fallback), use the generic label `File an issue per finding without applying fixes` — this is a whole-label substitution, not a `[TRACKER]` token swap. When `any_sink_available = false`, **omit option C entirely** and add one line to the stem explaining that no issue tracker is configured for this checkout (Linear, GitHub Issues, etc., were probed and unavailable). Phrase it for a developer audience — avoid `tracker sink` jargon, and avoid `platform` since the missing piece is per-project, not per-agent-platform. The three remaining options (A, B, D) survive. - - The numbered-list text fallback applies when `ToolSearch` explicitly returns no match for the platform's question tool or the tool call errors (including Codex runtime modes where `request_user_input` is unavailable). It does not apply when the agent simply hasn't loaded the tool yet — in that case, load it now (see the verification checklist above). When the fallback applies, present the options as a numbered list and wait for the user's reply — never silently skip the question. - -- **Dispatch on selection.** Route by the option letter (A / B / C / D), not by the rendered label string. The option-C label varies by tracker-detection confidence (`File a [TRACKER] ticket per finding without applying fixes` for a named tracker, `File an issue per finding without applying fixes` as the generic fallback, or omitted entirely when no sink is available — see `references/tracker-defer.md`), and options A / B / D have a single canonical label each. The letter is the stable dispatch signal; the canonical labels below are shown for documentation only. A low-confidence run that rendered option C as the generic label routes to the same branch as a high-confidence run that rendered it with the named tracker. - - (A) `Review each finding one by one` — **before presenting the first finding, read `references/walkthrough.md` in full.** It is the canonical spec for the per-finding presentation format and the option menu.

Decision handling: - - When the user picks `Apply`, queue the fix for end-of-loop dispatch — do not apply it immediately. - - When the user picks `Defer`, file the ticket inline via `references/tracker-defer.md`. - - When the user picks `Skip` or `Acknowledge`, record the decision as no-action. - - When the user picks the option to auto-resolve the rest, exit the loop and dispatch **one** fixer pass on the union of (queued Apply set ∪ remaining undecided findings) — there is no second end-of-loop dispatch in this branch, so the "one fixer, consistent tree" contract holds. - - When the user works through every finding without invoking the auto-resolve-the-rest option, dispatch one fixer subagent for the queued Apply set at end of loop (Step 3). Emit the unified completion report after dispatch. - - (B) `Auto-resolve with best judgment — apply per-finding fixes the agent can defend, surface the rest` — dispatch the fixer subagent (Step 3) immediately on the full pending action set (`gated_auto` + `manual` + `advisory`).

No question fires. - 2. **If `failed` is non-empty:** fire the post-run failure-handling question *first* — emitting the report before the user resolves the failed bucket would produce a stale or duplicated report, since `File tickets` and `Walk through` both change the final action state.

Phrase it for a developer audience — avoid `tracker sink` jargon, and avoid `platform` since the missing piece is per-project, not per-agent-platform. - - `Walk through these one at a time` — re-enter the walk-through loop scoped to the failed set. Each finding's recommended action is recomputed via the Stage 5 step 6b mapping: items that have a `suggested_fix` recommend Apply (and join the in-memory Apply set if the user picks Apply, dispatching at end-of-walk-through to a focused fixer pass on those items only); items without a `suggested_fix` recommend Defer (Apply is not offered for them; menu is Defer / Skip / `Auto-resolve with best judgment on the rest`). - - `Ignore — leave them in the report` — record the failed list as residual actionable work in the report.

Future orchestrators that want both must either run `mode:report-only` during the parallel phase or isolate the mutating review in its own checkout/worktree. - -**Queue contract by caller path:** - -The fixer accepts two queue shapes depending on which caller invoked it: - -- **Homogeneous queue (autofix, headless, walk-through Apply set):** every item is `safe_auto -> review-fixer` (autofix, headless), or every item carries a concrete `suggested_fix` (walk-through Apply set, where the user picked Apply on each finding). The fixer applies each item. **Defensive backstop for the walk-through Apply set:** the walk-through suppresses the Apply option for findings without a `suggested_fix` (see `references/walkthrough.md` adaptations) and the post-run failure-handling re-entry suppresses it as well, so this queue should not contain such items in normal runs. If one slips through, route it to `failed` with reason `no fix proposed by reviewer` rather than attempting an undefined apply — mirroring the heterogeneous queue's handling. Autofix and headless callers are unaffected; they only ever process `safe_auto` items. -- **Heterogeneous queue (best-judgment path — interactive option B and walk-through's `Auto-resolve with best judgment on the rest`):** the queue mixes `gated_auto`, `manual`, and `advisory` findings. Each item carries: `autofix_class`, `severity`, `file:line`, `title`, `suggested_fix` (may be null), `why_it_matters`, and `evidence`. The fixer routes each item to one of four buckets — the routing categories are fixed; the failure *reason string* should be specific enough that the post-run question's framing (`N findings could not be auto-resolved...`) reads meaningfully to the user. Use the category's default phrasing below when nothing more specific applies; prefer richer, finding-specific reasons that capture *why this particular item didn't land* (e.g., `needs intent confirmation; was the field narrowing deliberate, or do clients still need the full payload?` is more useful than the generic default). - - **`safe_auto` / `gated_auto` / `manual` with `suggested_fix`:** light evidence-match check (verify the cited code at `file:line` still resembles the persona's evidence — concretely: at least one identifier or distinctive token from the evidence appears at the cited location, and the line has not been deleted). If the check passes, attempt to apply the fix. On clean apply, route to `applied`. On fix-application failure (line moved, conflicting edit, syntax issue), route to `failed` with a concrete reason — default phrasing `fix did not apply cleanly: <error>` when no richer description fits. - - **`gated_auto` or `manual` without `suggested_fix`:** route to `failed` — default phrasing `no fix proposed by reviewer` when no richer description fits. For `manual` this signal indicates the persona judged the finding to need cross-team input or context outside the review; a richer reason naming the specific decision (intent ambiguity, contract decision, design choice) is more useful when the persona's `why_it_matters` or `evidence` makes that clear. For `gated_auto` this is a defensive case (the persona shouldn't normally produce `gated_auto` without a concrete fix) — surface it in `failed` rather than skipping it, to preserve the apply-or-fail contract. - - **Advisory items (`autofix_class: advisory`):** no-op. Route to `advisory` (recorded as acknowledged). - - **Evidence-match check fails:** route to `failed` — default phrasing `evidence no longer matches code at <file:line>` when no richer description fits. This is the false-positive case — the finding cited something that has since changed or was already handled. - -**Best-judgment path is single-pass.** No `max_rounds: 2` re-review loop. After the fixer returns, the orchestrator follows Step 2 Interactive option B's post-fixer ordering: when the `failed` bucket is empty, emit the unified completion report directly; when it is non-empty, fire the post-run failure-handling question first, execute the user's choice, then emit the unified completion report so it reflects the final action state. - -**Other paths retain the bounded-rounds loop.** For autofix and the walk-through Apply set, re-review only the changed scope after fixes land, bound the loop with `max_rounds: 2`, and if issues remain after the second round, hand them off as residual work or report them as unresolved. - -**Verification.** If any applied finding has `requires_verification: true`, the fixer runs the targeted verification (focused tests or operational checks) for that item before declaring it `applied`. Verification failure routes the item to `failed` — default phrasing `verification failed: <test-name>` when no richer description fits (e.g., `verification failed: payment_spec timed out after 30s` is more useful than the bare default). This applies on every path. - -**Fixer return shape (best-judgment path).** The fixer returns the partition `{applied, failed, advisory}` where each entry includes the finding identifier, original `autofix_class`, `severity`, `file:line`, and (for `failed`) a one-line reason. The orchestrator uses this partition to assemble the unified completion report and gate the post-run failure-handling question. - -#### Step 4: Emit artifacts and downstream handoff - -- In interactive, autofix, and headless modes, write a per-run artifact under `/tmp/compound-engineering/ce-code-review/<run-id>/` containing: - - synthesized findings (merged output from Stage 5) - - applied fixes - - residual actionable work - - advisory-only outputs - Per-agent full-detail JSON files (`{reviewer_name}.json`) are already present in this directory from Stage 4 dispatch. -- Also write `metadata.json` alongside the findings so downstream skills (e.g., `ce-polish-beta`) can verify the artifact matches the current branch and HEAD. Minimum fields: - ```json - { - "run_id": "<run-id>", - "branch": "<git branch --show-current at dispatch time>", - "head_sha": "<git rev-parse HEAD at dispatch time>", - "verdict": "<Ready to merge | Ready with fixes | Not ready>", - "completed_at": "<ISO 8601 UTC timestamp>" - } - ``` - Capture `branch` and `head_sha` at dispatch time (before any autofixes land), and write the file after the verdict is finalized. This file is additive -- pre-existing artifacts that predate this field are still valid, and downstream skills fall back to file mtime when it is missing. -- In autofix mode, the run artifact is the handoff. Orchestrators read the artifact's residual actionable work and route it as appropriate. The skill itself does not file tickets or prompt the user in autofix. -- Interactive mode may offer to externalize residual actionable work via `references/tracker-defer.md` (named tracker -> GitHub Issues via `gh`), but it is not required to finish the review. - -#### Step 5: Final next steps - -**Interactive mode only.** After the fix-review cycle completes (clean verdict or the user chose to stop), offer next steps based on the entry mode. Reuse the resolved review base/default branch from Stage 1 when known; do not hard-code only `main`/`master`. - -**The gate is total fixes applied this run, not routing option.** Track `fixes_applied_count` across the whole Interactive invocation. This counter includes both the `safe_auto` fixes applied automatically before the routing question (see Step 2 Interactive mode) AND any Apply decisions executed by routing option A (walk-through) or option B (best-judgment). Routing options C (File tickets) and D (Report only) add zero to this counter; neither does a walk-through that ends with only Skip / Defer / Acknowledge, and neither does a best-judgment dispatch whose findings were all routed to `failed` or `advisory`. - -Step 5 runs only when `fixes_applied_count > 0`. If the counter is zero — no `safe_auto` fixes were applied AND the routing path produced no additional Apply — skip Step 5 entirely and exit after the completion report. Asking "push fixes?" when nothing changed in the working tree is incoherent. - -Common outcomes: - -- `safe_auto` produced fixes AND the user picked any routing option → Step 5 runs (counter > 0 from the safe_auto pass alone). -- No `safe_auto` fixes AND the user picked option C or D → Step 5 skipped. -- No `safe_auto` fixes AND walk-through / best-judgment finished with zero Applies → Step 5 skipped. -- Zero-remaining case (no `gated_auto` / `manual` after `safe_auto`) with at least one `safe_auto` fix → Step 5 runs; the routing question was never asked but the counter is > 0. - -- **PR mode (entered via PR number/URL):** - - **Push fixes** -- push commits to the existing PR branch - - **Exit** -- done for now -- **Branch mode (feature branch with no PR, and not the resolved review base/default branch):** - - **Create a PR (Recommended)** -- push and open a pull request - - **Continue without PR** -- stay on the branch - - **Exit** -- done for now -- **On the resolved review base/default branch:** - - **Continue** -- proceed with next steps - - **Exit** -- done for now - -If "Create a PR": first publish the branch with `git push --set-upstream origin HEAD`, then use `gh pr create` with a title and summary derived from the branch changes. -If "Push fixes": push the branch with `git push` to update the existing PR. +```json +{ + "run_id": "<run-id>", + "branch": "<git branch --show-current at dispatch time>", + "head_sha": "<git rev-parse HEAD at dispatch time>", + "verdict": "<Ready to merge | Ready with fixes | Not ready>", + "completed_at": "<ISO 8601 UTC timestamp>" +} +``` -**Autofix, report-only, and headless modes:** stop after the report, artifact emission, and residual-work handoff.

The classification governs whether the fixer applies the change automatically (`safe_auto`) or surfaces it for explicit review (`gated_auto` / `manual` / `advisory`). **The wrong-side cost is symmetric:** classifying a contract-change as `safe_auto` produces an unwanted edit; classifying a mechanical fix as `gated_auto` makes the user manually triage findings the fixer could have applied. Bias toward `safe_auto` when the rubric permits it. Use this decision guide: - - `safe_auto`: The fix is local and deterministic — the fixer can apply it mechanically. **The test:** you can articulate the fix in one sentence with no "depends on" clauses, AND applying it doesn't change any of {function signature, public-API/response contract, error contract, security posture, permission model}. Examples: extracting a duplicated helper, adding a missing nil/null guard inside an internal function, fixing an off-by-one when the parallel pattern is in scope, adding a missing test for an existing public method, removing dead code, removing an unused import. - - **Boundary cases that often feel risky but are still `safe_auto`:** - - A nil guard that turns a crash into a nil-return is `safe_auto` when the function is internal and no public-API/error contract is documented. The contract is the function body itself — adding a precondition check isn't a behavior change worth gating. - - An off-by-one fix is `safe_auto` when the corrected behavior is verifiable from a parallel pattern visible in the surrounding code or from explicit documentation. Matching an established pattern isn't a design decision. - - Dead-code removal is `safe_auto` when the code's deadness is signaled in scope: no callers reachable from the diff, in-file comment says "superseded" / "unused" / "no callers", or the surrounding refactor obviously displaces it. "Someone might want this someday" isn't a design call the reviewer is empowered to make. - - Helper extraction is `safe_auto` when the duplication is identical, all callers update in lockstep within the same diff, and the consolidation point is mechanical (a shared method on the same class, or a new helper named after the shared shape). Cross-file extraction qualifies when both files ship in the same diff and the shared shape dictates the name. The discriminator is whether **naming or placement requires a design conversation** ("service object vs concern? where does it live in the layering?"). If yes, gated_auto. If the name follows mechanically from the body, safe_auto. - - - `gated_auto`: A concrete fix exists but applying it changes a contract, permission, or module boundary in a way the user should approve before it lands. Examples: adding authentication to an unprotected endpoint, changing a public API response shape (even by narrowing fields), switching from soft-delete to hard-delete, modifying error-handling in ways downstream callers can observe. - - `manual`: Actionable work that requires design decisions or cross-cutting changes. Examples: redesigning a data model, choosing between two equally-defensible architectural approaches, adding pagination to an unbounded query when no parallel pattern exists. **Pair `manual` with a concrete `suggested_fix` whenever you can defend one from the diff and surrounding code** — see the suggested_fix rule below. Omit `suggested_fix` only when the fix genuinely requires cross-team input, business context, or research outside this review. - - `advisory`: Report-only items that should not become code-fix work. Examples: noting a design asymmetry the PR improves but doesn't fully resolve, flagging a residual risk, deployment notes. - - Do not default to `advisory` when uncertain — if a concrete fix is obvious, classify it as `safe_auto` or `gated_auto`. Do not default to `gated_auto` when the fix is mechanical but the change feels substantive — apply the safe_auto test above. The "feels risky" reflex is exactly the asymmetry this rubric is designed to neutralize. -- Set `owner` to the default next actor for this finding: `review-fixer`, `downstream-resolver`, `human`, or `release`. +- Set `autofix_class` and `owner` per `references/action-class-rubric.md`. This skill does not apply fixes — classify for caller routing only. +- Default `owner` to `downstream-resolver` for actionable findings unless the item is genuinely human-only or release-owned. - Set `requires_verification` to true whenever the likely fix needs targeted tests, a focused re-review, or operational validation before it should be trusted. - **Propose a `suggested_fix` whenever any defensible code change is reachable from the diff and surrounding code.** This is the persona's commitment that "I, the reviewer with the diff and evidence in front of me, can articulate what the fix looks like." The suggested fix becomes the authoritative signal that downstream surfaces use to decide whether the agent can act on the finding. Three rules: - **Defensible from review context:** the fix should be reachable from the diff, the cited code, parallel patterns elsewhere in the repo, or framework conventions you can verify. If you cannot ground the fix in evidence the reader can check, omit it. diff --git a/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/references/tracker-defer.md b/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/references/tracker-defer.md deleted file mode 100644 index c7132be62..000000000 --- a/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/references/tracker-defer.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,149 +0,0 @@ -# Tracker Detection and Defer Execution - -This reference covers how Defer actions file tickets in the project's tracker. It is loaded by `SKILL.md` when Interactive mode's routing question needs to decide whether to offer option C (File tickets), when the walk-through's Defer option executes, and when the bulk-preview of option C is shown. It is also loaded by autonomous callers (e.g., `lfg`) that need to file residual actionable findings without user prompts — see Execution Modes below. - ---- - -## Execution Modes - -Tracker-defer has two execution modes. The caller selects one; the detection, fallback chain, and ticket composition are shared. - -### Interactive mode (default) - -Used by `ce-code-review` Interactive mode's routing question, walk-through Defer actions, and bulk-preview option C. All user-facing prompts fire: - -- First Defer of the session with a generic (non-named) label confirms the effective tracker choice. -- Execution failures prompt with Retry / Fall back to next sink / Convert to Skip. -- Labels in the routing question reflect `named_sink_available` (name the tracker) vs fallback generics. - -### Non-interactive mode - -Used by autonomous callers like `lfg` that must not prompt. All blocking questions are skipped; the fallback chain is executed silently in order. Behavior: - -- No confirmation on the first generic-label Defer; proceed directly. -- On execution failure, automatically fall to the next tier without prompting. Record the failure. -- On total chain exhaustion (every tier failed or no sink available), return findings in the `no_sink` bucket so the caller can route them to another surface (e.g., inline them in a PR description). -- Return a structured result: `{ filed: [{ finding_id, tracker, url }], failed: [{ finding_id, tracker, reason }], no_sink: [{ finding_id, title, severity, file, line }] }`. - -The caller decides how to surface the result to the user. The non-interactive mode treats "no sink available" as a data-producing outcome, not a prompt trigger. - ---- - -## Detection - -The agent determines the project's tracker from whatever documentation is obvious. Primary sources: `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` at the repo root and in relevant subdirectories. Supplementary signals (when primary documentation is ambiguous): `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `README.md`, PR templates under `.github/`, visible tracker URLs in the repo. - -A tracker can be surfaced via MCP tool (e.g., a Linear MCP server), CLI (e.g., `gh`), or direct API. All are acceptable. The detection output is a tuple with two availability flags — one for the named tracker specifically (drives label confidence in Interactive mode) and one for the full fallback chain (drives whether Defer is offered at all): - -``` -{ tracker_name, confidence, named_sink_available, any_sink_available } -``` - -Where: -- `tracker_name` — human-readable name ("Linear", "GitHub Issues", "Jira"), or `null` when detection cannot identify a specific tracker -- `confidence` — `high` when the tracker is named explicitly in documentation (or via a linked URL to a specific project/workspace) and is unambiguously the project's canonical tracker; `low` when the signal is thin, conflicting, or implied only -- `named_sink_available` — `true` only when the agent can actually invoke the detected tracker (MCP tool is loaded, CLI is authenticated, or API credentials are in environment); `false` when the tracker is documented but no tool reaches it, or when no tracker is found at all. Drives label confidence: inline tracker naming requires this to be `true`. -- `any_sink_available` — `true` when any tier in the fallback chain (named tracker or GitHub Issues via `gh`) can be invoked this session. Drives whether Defer is offered in Interactive mode, and drives the `no_sink` bucket in Non-interactive mode. - -Detection is reasoning-based. Do not maintain an enumerated checklist of files to read. Read the obvious sources and form a confident conclusion; when the obvious sources don't resolve, the label falls back to generic wording and the agent confirms with the user before executing (Interactive mode only). - ---- - -## Probe timing and caching - -Availability probes run **at most once per session** and **only when Defer execution is imminent**. Never speculatively at review start, never per-Defer, never per-walk-through-finding. The cached tuple is reused for every Defer action in the same run. - -Typical probe sequence: - -1. Read `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` for tracker references. If nothing found, set `tracker_name = null`, `confidence = low`. -2. **Probe the named tracker when one was found.** For GitHub Issues, run `gh auth status` and `gh repo view --json hasIssuesEnabled`. For Linear or other MCP-backed trackers, verify the relevant MCP tool is loaded and responsive. For API-backed trackers, verify credentials in environment. Set `named_sink_available` from the probe result. -3. **Probe the GitHub Issues fallback to compute `any_sink_available`.** Even when the named tracker was found and probed, `gh` matters for the `no_sink` bucket decision so that a run with no documented tracker but working `gh` still offers Defer. - - If `named_sink_available = true`: `any_sink_available = true` (no further probes needed). - - Otherwise, probe GitHub Issues via `gh auth status` + `gh repo view --json hasIssuesEnabled` (skip if already probed in step 2). If it works, `any_sink_available = true`. - - Otherwise, `any_sink_available = false`. - -When Interactive mode's routing question is skipped entirely (R2 zero-findings case), no probes run. When the cached tuple is reused across a session, any `named_sink_available = true` from the session's first probe stays cached — do not re-probe per Defer. - ---- - -## Label logic (Interactive mode) - -- When `confidence = high` AND `named_sink_available = true`: the routing question's option C and the walk-through's per-finding Defer option both include the tracker name verbatim.

Before executing the first Defer of the session, the agent confirms the effective tracker choice with the user using the platform's blocking question tool. -- When `any_sink_available = false`: option C is omitted from the routing question, option B (Defer) is omitted from the walk-through per-finding options, and the agent tells the user why in the routing question's stem. - -Non-interactive mode skips label decisions entirely — it acts silently on the detected sink. - ---- - -## Fallback chain - -When the named tracker is unavailable or no tracker is named, fall back in this order. Prefer the project's detected tracker; use `gh` only when no named tracker was found or the named one is unreachable. - -1. **Named tracker** (MCP tool, CLI, or API the agent can invoke directly, identified via Detection above) -2. **GitHub Issues via `gh`** — when `gh auth status` succeeds and the current repo has issues enabled (`gh repo view --json hasIssuesEnabled` returns `true`) -3. **No sink** — findings remain in the review report's residual-work section (Interactive mode) or are returned in the `no_sink` bucket for the caller to route (Non-interactive mode). The agent does not re-display them through a transient surface. - -Previously this chain included a third in-session fallback tier. That tier was removed because in-session tasks do not survive past the session and therefore do not meet the "durable filing" intent of a Defer action. When no durable tracker exists, the correct behavior is to leave findings in the report (Interactive) or return them to the caller (Non-interactive). - ---- - -## Ticket composition - -Every Defer action creates a ticket with the following content, adapted to the tracker's capabilities: - -- **Title:** the merged finding's `title` (schema-capped at 10 words). -- **Body:** - - Plain-English problem statement — reads the persona-produced `why_it_matters` from the contributing reviewer's artifact file at `/tmp/compound-engineering/ce-code-review/<run-id>/{reviewer}.json`, using the same `file + line_bucket(line, +/-3) + normalize(title)` matching headless mode uses (see SKILL.md Stage 6 detail enrichment). Falls back to the merged finding's `title`, `severity`, `file`, and `suggested_fix` (when present) when no artifact match is available — these fields are guaranteed in the merge-tier compact return. - - Suggested fix (when present in the finding's `suggested_fix`). - - Evidence (direct quotes from the reviewer's artifact). - - Metadata block: `Severity: <level>`, `Confidence: <score>`, `Reviewer(s): <list>`, `Finding ID: <fingerprint>`. -- **Labels** (when the tracker supports labels): severity tag (`P0`, `P1`, `P2`, `P3`) and, when the tracker convention supports it, a category label sourced from the reviewer name. -- **Length cap:** when the composed body would exceed a tracker's body length limit, truncate with `... (continued in ce-code-review run artifact: /tmp/compound-engineering/ce-code-review/<run-id>/)` and include the finding_id in both the truncated body and the metadata block so the artifact is discoverable. - -The finding_id is a stable fingerprint composed as `normalize(file) + line_bucket(line, +/-3) + normalize(title)` — the same fingerprint used by the merge pipeline. - ---- - -## Failure path - -When ticket creation fails at execution (API error, auth expiry mid-session, rate limit, malformed body rejected, 4xx/5xx response): - -**Interactive mode:** surface the failure inline and ask the user using the platform's blocking question tool. - -Stem: -> Defer failed: <tracker name> returned <error summary>. How should the agent handle this finding? - -Options: -- `Retry on <tracker>` — re-attempt the same tracker once more (useful for transient errors) -- `Fall back to next sink` — move this finding's Defer to the next tier in the fallback chain (e.g., from Linear to GitHub Issues) -- `Convert to Skip — record the failure` — abandon this Defer, note the failure in the completion report's failure section, and continue the walk-through or bulk flow - -**Non-interactive mode:** do not prompt. Automatically fall through to the next tier. If every tier fails, record the finding in the `failed` bucket of the structured return and continue. If the chain exhausts with no sink ever available, the finding ends up in the `no_sink` bucket. - -When a high-confidence named tracker fails at execution, the cached `named_sink_available` is set to `false` for the rest of the session. Subsequent Defer actions fall straight through to the next tier without retrying a confirmed-broken sink. `any_sink_available` is only downgraded to `false` when every tier has been confirmed broken — a failed Linear call that succeeds via `gh` keeps `any_sink_available = true`. - -Only when `ToolSearch` explicitly returns no match or the tool call errors — or on a platform with no blocking question tool — fall back to numbered options and waiting for the user's reply (Interactive mode only). - ---- - -## Per-tracker behavior - -Concrete behavior per tracker at execution time. The agent may invoke any of these through the appropriate interface (MCP, CLI, or API) — the choice depends on what is available in the current environment. - -| Tracker | Interface | Invocation sketch | Body format | Labels | -|---------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------| -| Linear | MCP (preferred) or API | Create issue in the project/workspace identified by documentation; assign to the reporter if the MCP tool exposes user context | Markdown | Severity priority field if the MCP exposes it; otherwise include severity in body | -| GitHub Issues | `gh issue create` | Repo defaults to the current repo. Use `--label` for severity tag when labels exist; omit `--label` if the repo has no label fixture. Fall back to a label-less issue on first failure. | Markdown | `--label P0` / `--label P1` / etc. when labels exist | -| Jira | MCP or API | Create issue in the project identified by documentation; Jira's markdown dialect differs from GitHub's — use plain text in the body when MCP does not handle conversion | Plain text when MCP does not handle markdown | Severity priority field | -| No sink available | — | Interactive: Defer option omitted, findings remain in the report's residual-work section. Non-interactive: findings returned in the `no_sink` bucket for caller routing. | — | — | - -When uncertain, prefer "drop with explicit user-facing notice" over "pass through silently and hope."

The other three options remain. The advisory variant is the only case where `Acknowledge` appears in the menu. -- **N=1 (exactly one pending finding):** the terminal block's heading omits `Finding N of M` and renders as `## {severity} {plain-English title}`. The stem's first line drops the position counter, becoming `{severity} {short handle}.` Option D (`Auto-resolve with best judgment on the rest`) is suppressed because no subsequent findings exist — the menu shows three options: Apply / Defer / Skip (or Acknowledge, for advisory). -- **No sink (Defer option unavailable):** when the tracker-detection tuple reports `any_sink_available: false` (every tier in the fallback chain — named tracker and GitHub Issues via `gh` — is unreachable), option B (`Defer`) is omitted. The stem appends one line explaining that no issue tracker is configured for this checkout (Linear, GitHub Issues, etc., were probed and unavailable). Phrase it for a developer audience — avoid `tracker sink` jargon, and avoid `platform` since the missing piece is per-project, not per-agent-platform. The menu shows three options: Apply / Skip / Auto-resolve with best judgment on the rest (and Acknowledge in place of Apply for advisory-only findings). **Before rendering the options, remap any per-finding `Defer` recommendation produced by Stage 5 step 7b to `Skip`** so the `(recommended)` marker always lands on an option that is actually in the menu. When the remap fires, surface it on the R15 conflict context line — name what was downgraded and why (so the reader sees the cross-reviewer Defer recommendation hasn't silently disappeared). This is a render-time runtime step; Stage 5 step 7b has no knowledge of sink availability and only orders conflicting reviewer recommendations. -- **Combined N=1 + no sink:** the menu shows two options: Apply / Skip (or Acknowledge / Skip). - -Only when `ToolSearch` explicitly returns no match or the tool call errors — or on a platform with no blocking question tool — fall back to presenting the options as a numbered list and waiting for the user's next reply. - ---- - -## Per-finding routing - -For each finding's answer: - -- **Apply the proposed fix** — add the finding's id to an in-memory Apply set. Advance to the next finding. Do not dispatch the fixer inline — Apply accumulates for end-of-walk-through batch dispatch. -- **Acknowledge — mark as reviewed** (advisory variant) — record Acknowledge in the in-memory decision list. Advance to the next finding. No side effects. -- **Defer — file a [TRACKER] ticket** — invoke the tracker-defer flow from `tracker-defer.md`. The walk-through's position indicator stays on the current finding during any failure-path sub-question (Retry / Fall back / Convert to Skip). On success, record the tracker URL / reference in the in-memory decision list and advance. On conversion-to-Skip from the failure path, advance with the failure noted in the completion report. -- **Skip — don't apply, don't track** — record Skip in the in-memory decision list. Advance. No side effects. -- **Auto-resolve with best judgment on the rest** — exit the walk-through loop and dispatch the fixer subagent (`SKILL.md` Step 3) immediately on the remaining action set: the current finding plus everything not yet decided. No Stage 5b pre-pass. No bulk-preview approval gate. The fixer applies items with concrete `suggested_fix`, no-ops on advisory items, and routes items where the fix cannot be applied cleanly (or where evidence no longer matches the code) to a `failed` bucket with a one-line reason. Apply findings the user already picked during the walk-through are dispatched in the same fixer pass — the remaining set joins the in-memory Apply set so the fixer receives the union and applies all changes against a consistent tree. After the fixer returns, follow the post-run failure-handling logic in `SKILL.md` Step 2 Interactive option B — when the `failed` bucket is non-empty, fire one question with three options (file tickets / walk through / ignore). When the `failed` bucket is empty, emit the unified completion report directly. - ---- - -## Override rule - -"Override" means the user picks a different preset action (Defer or Skip in place of Apply, or Apply in place of the agent's recommendation). No inline freeform custom-fix authoring — the walk-through is a decision loop, not a pair-programming surface. A user who wants a variant of the proposed fix picks Skip and hand-edits outside the flow; if they also want the finding tracked, they file a ticket manually. This trade is explicit in v1's scope boundaries. - ---- - -## State - -Walk-through state is **in-memory only**. The orchestrator maintains: - -- An Apply set (finding ids the user picked Apply on) -- A decision list (every answered finding with its action and any metadata like `tracker_url` for Deferred or `reason` for Skipped) -- The current position in the findings list - -Nothing is written to disk per-decision. An interrupted walk-through (user cancels the prompt, session compacts, network dies) discards all in-memory state. Defer actions that already executed remain in the tracker — those are external side effects and cannot be rolled back. Apply decisions have not been dispatched yet (they batch at end-of-walk-through), so they are cleanly lost with no code changes. - -Formal cross-session resumption is out of scope for v1. - ---- - -## End-of-walk-through dispatch - -This section covers the run-to-completion path only — every finding has been answered Apply / Defer / Skip / Acknowledge and the loop ended naturally. The `Auto-resolve with best judgment on the rest` path exits the walk-through earlier and dispatches its own fixer pass on the union of (accumulated Apply set ∪ remaining undecided findings); see that bullet under "Per-finding routing" above. There is no second dispatch in that branch. - -When the loop runs to completion, the walk-through hands off to the dispatch phase: - -1. **Apply set:** spawn one fixer subagent for the full accumulated Apply set. The fixer receives the set as its input queue and applies all changes in one pass against the current working tree. This preserves the existing "one fixer, consistent tree" mechanic and gives the fixer the full set at once to handle inter-fix dependencies (two Applies touching overlapping regions). The existing Step 3 fixer prompt needs a small update to acknowledge this queue may be heterogeneous (`gated_auto` and `manual` mix, not just `safe_auto`) — authored alongside this reference. -2. **Defer set:** already executed inline during the walk-through. Nothing to dispatch here. -3. **Skip / Acknowledge:** no-op. - -After dispatch completes, emit the unified completion report described below. - ---- - -## Unified completion report - -Every terminal path of Interactive mode emits the same completion report structure. This covers: - -- Walk-through completed (all findings answered) -- Walk-through bailed via `Auto-resolve with best judgment on the rest` -- Top-level best-judgment (routing option B) completed -- Top-level File tickets (routing option C) completed -- Zero findings after `safe_auto` (routing question was skipped — the completion summary is a one-line degenerate case of this structure) - -### Minimum required fields (per R12) - -- **Per-finding entries:** for every finding the flow touched, a line with — at minimum — title, severity, the action taken (Applied / Deferred / Skipped / Acknowledged), the tracker URL or in-session task reference for Deferred entries, and a one-line reason for Skipped entries (grounded in the finding's confidence or the one-line `why_it_matters` snippet). -- **Summary counts by action:** totals per bucket (e.g., `4 applied, 2 deferred, 2 skipped`). -- **Failures called out explicitly:** any fix application that failed, any ticket creation that failed (with the reason returned by the tracker). Failures are surfaced above the per-finding list so they are not missed. -- **End-of-review verdict:** the existing Stage 6 verdict (Ready to merge / Ready with fixes / Not ready), computed from the residual state after all actions complete. - -### Coverage section - -Carry forward the existing Coverage data (suppressed-finding count, residual risks, testing gaps, failed reviewers) and add one new element: - -- **Framing-enrichment gaps:** count of findings where artifact lookup returned no match (merge-synthesized findings, or failed persona artifact writes). Name the personas contributing those gaps so the data feeds any future persona-upgrade decision. A trail of gaps per run tells the team which persona agents still need attention. - -### Report ordering - -The report appears after all execution completes. Ordering inside the report: failures first (above the per-finding list), then per-finding entries grouped by action bucket in the order `Applied / Deferred / Skipped / Acknowledged`, then summary counts, then Coverage, then the verdict. - -### Zero-findings degenerate case - -When the routing question was skipped because no `gated_auto` / `manual` findings remained after `safe_auto`, the completion report collapses to its summary-counts + verdict form with one added line — the count of `safe_auto` fixes applied. The summary wording mirrors `SKILL.md` Step 2 Interactive mode's zero-remaining case: the unqualified `All findings resolved` form is only accurate when no advisory or pre-existing findings remain. When advisory and/or pre-existing findings remain in the report, use the qualified form that names what was cleared and names what still remains. Examples: - -No remaining advisory or pre-existing findings: - -``` -All findings resolved — 3 safe_auto fixes applied. - -Verdict: Ready with fixes. -``` - -Advisory and/or pre-existing findings remain in the report: - -``` -All actionable findings resolved — 3 safe_auto fixes applied. (2 advisory, 1 pre-existing findings remain in the report.) - -Verdict: Ready with fixes. -``` - ---- - -## Execution posture - -The walk-through is operationally read-only except for two permitted writes: the in-memory Apply set / decision list (managed by the orchestrator) and the tracker-defer dispatch (external ticket creation, described in `tracker-defer.md`). Persona agents remain strictly read-only.

The reviewer (or the agent that owns the tree) applies the fixes it's confident in, surfaces them legibly, and the safety comes from the work being **reversible edits in a visible diff handled by a smart agent**, not from a permission gate. + +This partially walks back the "review-only, never mutate" stance of `refactor/ce-code-review-review-only` — deliberately. The review-only refactor solved two real problems (apply *machinery* complexity, and orchestration interruption). This plan keeps both solved while recovering the "it just took things off my plate" delight that the main-branch version had. + +## Problem Frame + +The review-only refactor was an overcorrection. It conflated two separable things: + +- **Bad (correctly removed):** the apply *machinery* — `mode:autofix`, `autofix_class`-as-permission, in-skill batching/subagent-dispatch/residual-gate. This added complexity and let the review mutate a tree an upstream orchestrator (ce-work) was managing, which interrupted the pipeline. +- **Good (wrongly removed):** a narrow, behavior-preserving convenience that just happens — e.g., the main-branch run that auto-applied test hardening ("assert the no-op stays a no-op," "cover the unknown-id/empty-array guards") and reported it in an "Applied automatically" table. + +Two failed framings were explored and rejected before settling: + +1. **"Apply only when sure / when unsure, report."** Agents are already conservative; a "when unsure, report" thumb compounds into "reports everything, fixes nothing." The control was placed as a *precondition gate* (judgment about safety before acting), which is exactly what makes smart agents hedge. +2. **A categorical deny-list** ("never auto-apply security / contracts / migrations / **anything needing product judgment**"). "Product judgment" is a gameable escape hatch — almost any change can be reasoned into it — and the rest of the list mostly guards against actions a code-review fix doesn't take anyway: **code-review fixes are edits to a git tree, reversible by construction and visible in the diff.** You address a migration finding by editing the file, not by running it; you don't fix a payments finding by charging a card. Telling a smart agent "auth is high-stakes" tells it what it already knows — the over-prescription `AGENTS.md` warns against. + +## Decisions settled in dialogue + +- **Control downside by relocating the guardrail, not by gating action.** For reversible, visible edits the control is *after* (revert), *ambient* (the diff + a smart agent), and at the *permanence step* (commit), not *before* (a precondition). **Gate permanence, not action.** +- **Keep the act policy minimal and judgment-based, plus a bias-to-act framing.** The entire apply policy is a few lines: apply clear improvements, push back (don't apply) when the reviewer is wrong, defer what needs a decision. This works because the agent is smart and the only guardrail is a judgment one ("push back if wrong"). Add an explicit anti-conservatism instruction so the agent does not hedge on clear, reversible improvements. +- **No deny-list.** Dropped entirely. The one genuine residual ("green tests ≠ safe" for auth/contract/concurrency edits) is handled by surfacing those prominently in the report, not by blocking them. +- **The tree-owner acts.** Whoever owns the working tree applies. It dissolves the orchestration-interruption scar. +- **Keep our richer signal as *signal*, not a gate.** Severity (P0–P3), confidence anchors, cross-reviewer agreement, and `autofix_class` continue to exist and inform *what to act on first* and *how prominently to surface*, but they do not mechanically gate the apply decision. The decision is the agent's judgment. + +## Requirements Trace + +- **R1. Act policy.** When acting on findings, default to applying every finding that is a clear improvement and a reversible edit, regardless of severity. Push back (do not apply) when the reviewer is wrong, with reasoning. Use judgment to skip taste/conflicting findings — but **surface** what was skipped; never silently drop. Explicitly frame leaving a clear, reversible, improvement unapplied "to be safe" as the failure mode. +- **R2. Tree-owner-acts placement.** The review applies fixes itself in **default (interactive) mode** — when it is the top-level agent. In `**mode:agent**` (the machine-handoff mode; `mode:headless` is a deprecated alias for it, `mode:report-only` is ignored), the review stays **report-only** and the caller applies. This preserves the read-only contract programmatic callers rely on and removes the interruption. +- **R3. Scope correctness invariant.** Apply only on a tree that *is* what was reviewed (`local-aligned` / standalone). In `pr-remote` / `branch-remote`, the working tree is not the reviewed head — do not apply; report instead. (Correctness, not a safety gate.) +- **R4. Verify-then-keep.** After applying, run the relevant tests/lint. If they fail, revert that fix and report it as a finding instead. This is competence (a fix you didn't verify isn't finished), framed lightly — not a ceremonial gate. +- **R5. Legible reporting.** Add an **Applied** section to the markdown report (the "Applied automatically" table: `# | File | Fix | Reviewer`), plus a one-line validation outcome (e.g., "pin tests 4 → 6; suite 94 pass, lint clean"). Applied findings move to the Applied section; everything else stays in the severity/actionable tables. No `applied_fixes` JSON field: the only mode that emits JSON (`mode:agent`) is report-only and applies nothing, so applied work surfaces only in default-mode markdown. +- **R6. "Green ≠ safe" surfacing.** Auth/authz, public or cross-service contract/schema, and concurrency edits that were applied must be flagged prominently in the Applied section so the diff reviewer's eye goes there. A nudge, not a block. +- **R7. ce-work apply step adopts the same act philosophy.** `references/review-findings-followup.md`'s current eligibility filter ("apply only if `suggested_fix` present AND confidence 100/75 AND mechanical AND evidence matches; when unsure, skip") is the conservative trap. Reframe it to bias-to-act for the tree-owner, consistent with R1, so the orchestrated path isn't timid while the standalone path is bold. +- **R8. Explicit non-revival.** Do not reintroduce `mode:autofix`, `autofix_class`-as-permission, or a deny-list. Keep the apply policy judgment-based. +- **R9. Tests + docs.** Update `tests/review-skill-contract.test.ts`, the numbering fixture, the output template, and the skill doc as needed; check the `ce-work-beta` counterpart. +- **R10. Commit ownership = permanence owner.** The committer is whoever owns permanence in that context: in default (interactive) mode the **human** commits, so the review applies but **does not auto-commit**; in `mode:agent` the **caller** (ce-work) applies and commits after its diff review (unchanged from today). The review skill never auto-commits in its own (interactive) runs. This is "gate permanence, not action" — apply freely (reversible), but the commit stays with the owner who can veto the diff. + +## Behavior Spec + +### Act policy (R1) + +The instruction the skill carries (paraphrase, to be tightened in SKILL.md): + +> Default to applying every finding that is a clear improvement and a reversible edit. Don't hedge: the work is a tracked, visible diff you can revert, so leaving a clean fix unapplied "to be safe" is the failure mode, not the safe choice. Push back — don't apply — when the reviewer is wrong, and say why. Skip taste calls and conflicting suggestions using judgment, but list what you skipped and why. Severity, confidence, and cross-reviewer agreement tell you what to do first and what to flag loudly — they don't decide for you. + +### Who acts and who commits (R2, R10) + +There are only two modes: **default** (interactive markdown) and `**mode:agent**` (machine handoff; `mode:headless` aliases it, `mode:report-only` is ignored). + + +| Invocation | Tree/permanence owner | Apply | Commit | +| --------------------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| Default (interactive) | The human | Review applies + verifies + reports Applied section | **No auto-commit.** Changes fold into the human's working set; they review the diff and commit.

Now: P2/P3 still drop on infra failure (conservative bias); P0/P1 are kept and their validation marked degraded (reported in Coverage). A genuine validated:false rejection still drops at any severity. bun test: contract 29/0; full suite at the 47 pre-existing failures, zero new. --- plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/SKILL.md | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/SKILL.md b/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/SKILL.md index 8bfffad9f..a57c60624 100644 --- a/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/SKILL.md +++ b/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-code-review/SKILL.md @@ -486,9 +486,9 @@ Independent verification gate.
