code-review-cce009— agent skill

Phase 1: Load Target Files

Read the target file(s) in full. Read CLAUDE.md for project coding standards.

Phase 2: Identify Engine Specialists

Read .claude/docs/technical-preferences.md, section ## Engine Specialists. Note:

• The Primary specialist (used for architecture and broad engine concerns)
• The Language/Code Specialist (used when reviewing the project's primary language files)
• The Shader Specialist (used when reviewing shader files)
• The UI Specialist (used when reviewing UI code)

If the section reads [TO BE CONFIGURED], no engine is pinned — skip engine specialist steps.

Phase 3: ADR Compliance Check

Search for ADR references in the story file, commit messages, and header comments. Look for patterns like ADR-NNN or docs/architecture/ADR-.

If no ADR references found, note: "No ADR references found — skipping ADR compliance check."

For each referenced ADR: read the file, extract the Decision and Consequences sections, then classify any deviation:

• ARCHITECTURAL VIOLATION (BLOCKING): Uses a pattern explicitly rejected in the ADR
• ADR DRIFT (WARNING): Meaningfully diverges from the chosen approach without using a forbidden pattern
• MINOR DEVIATION (INFO): Small difference from ADR guidance that doesn't affect overall architecture

Phase 4: Standards Compliance

Identify the system category (engine, gameplay, AI, networking, UI, tools) and evaluate:

• [ ] Public methods and classes have doc comments
• [ ] Cyclomatic complexity under 10 per method
• [ ] No method exceeds 40 lines (excluding data declarations)
• [ ] Dependencies are injected (no static singletons for game state)
• [ ] Configuration values loaded from data files
• [ ] Systems expose interfaces (not concrete class dependencies)

Phase 5: Architecture and SOLID

Architecture:

• [ ] Correct dependency direction (engine <- gameplay, not reverse)
• [ ] No circular dependencies between modules
• [ ] Proper layer separation (UI does not own game state)
• [ ] Events/signals used for cross-system communication
• [ ] Consistent with established patterns in the codebase

SOLID:

• [ ] Single Responsibility: Each class has one reason to change
• [ ] Open/Closed: Extendable without modification
• [ ] Liskov Substitution: Subtypes substitutable for base types
• [ ] Interface Segregation: No fat interfaces
• [ ] Dependency Inversion: Depends on abstractions, not concretions

Phase 6: Game-Specific Concerns

• [ ] Frame-rate independence (delta time usage)
• [ ] No allocations in hot paths (update loops)
• [ ] Proper null/empty state handling
• [ ] Thread safety where required
• [ ] Resource cleanup (no leaks)

Phase 7: Specialist Reviews (Parallel)

Spawn all applicable specialists simultaneously via Task — do not wait for one before starting the next.

Engine Specialists

If an engine is configured, determine which specialist applies to each file and spawn in parallel:

• Primary language files (.gd, .cs, .cpp) → Language/Code Specialist
• Shader files (.gdshader, .hlsl, shader graph) → Shader Specialist
• UI screen/widget code → UI Specialist
• Cross-cutting or unclear → Primary Specialist

Also spawn the Primary Specialist for any file touching engine architecture (scene structure, node hierarchy, lifecycle hooks).

QA Testability Review

For Logic and Integration stories, also spawn qa-tester via Task in parallel with the engine specialists. Pass:

• The implementation files being reviewed
• The story's ## QA Test Cases section (the pre-written test specs from qa-lead)
• The story's ## Acceptance Criteria

Ask the qa-tester to evaluate:

• [ ] Are all test hooks and interfaces exposed (not hidden behind private/internal access)?
• [ ] Do the QA test cases from the story's ## QA Test Cases section map to testable code paths?
• [ ] Are any acceptance criteria untestable as implemented (e.g., hardcoded values, no seam for injection)?
• [ ] Does the implementation introduce any new edge cases not covered by the existing QA test cases?
• [ ] Are there any observable side effects that should have a test but don't?

For Visual/Feel and UI stories: qa-tester reviews whether the manual verification steps in ## QA Test Cases are achievable with the implementation as written — e.g., "is the state the manual checker needs to reach actually reachable?"

Collect all specialist findings before producing output.

Phase 8: Output Review

## Code Review: [File/System Name]

### Engine Specialist Findings: [N/A — no engine configured / CLEAN / ISSUES FOUND]
[Findings from engine specialist(s), or "No engine configured." if skipped]

### Testability: [N/A — Visual/Feel or Config story / TESTABLE / GAPS / BLOCKING]
[qa-tester findings: test hooks, coverage gaps, untestable paths, new edge cases]
[If BLOCKING: implementation must expose [X] before tests in ## QA Test Cases can run]

### ADR Compliance: [NO ADRS FOUND / COMPLIANT / DRIFT / VIOLATION]
[List each ADR checked, result, and any deviations with severity]

### Standards Compliance: [X/6 passing]
[List failures with line references]

### Architecture: [CLEAN / MINOR ISSUES / VIOLATIONS FOUND]
[List specific architectural concerns]

### SOLID: [COMPLIANT / ISSUES FOUND]
[List specific violations]

### Game-Specific Concerns
[List game development specific issues]

### Positive Observations
[What is done well -- always include this section]

### Required Changes
[Must-fix items before approval — ARCHITECTURAL VIOLATIONs always appear here]

### Suggestions
[Nice-to-have improvements]

### Verdict: [APPROVED / APPROVED WITH SUGGESTIONS / CHANGES REQUIRED]

This skill is read-only — no files are written.

Phase 9: Next Steps

• If verdict is APPROVED: run /story-done [story-path] to close the story.
• If verdict is CHANGES REQUIRED: fix the issues and re-run /code-review.
• If an ARCHITECTURAL VIOLATION is found: run /architecture-decision to record the correct approach.
