Code Reviewer Agent

File: .github/agents/tsh-code-reviewer.agent.md

The Code Reviewer agent performs structured code reviews against the implementation plan, requirements, and project standards.

Responsibilities

• Verifying code correctness — functions as intended, meets requirements.
• Checking code quality — clean, efficient, maintainable, follows standards.
• Identifying security vulnerabilities and verifying proper security measures.
• Verifying testing — appropriate tests covering necessary scenarios.
• Ensuring documentation — well-documented code with comments.
• Checking acceptance criteria — verifying each item from the plan's checklist.

Review Process

1. Reads coding guidelines from copilot-instructions.md and related *.instructions.md files.
2. Understands project coding standards and best practices.
3. Loads relevant skills for the review domain.
4. Runs all necessary checks and tests.
5. Produces a structured review with findings categorized by severity.

What It Produces

A structured review containing:

• Pass/Blocker/Suggestion classification for each finding.
• Acceptance criteria verification (each item checked individually).
• Security, reliability, performance, and maintainability analysis.
• Recommended actions for each blocker.

• tsh-sql-and-database-understanding — Review database-related code for SQL quality, indexes, migrations, and ORM usage.

Handoffs

After review, the Code Reviewer can hand off to:

• Software Engineer → /tsh-implement (implement changes requested after code review)
