# Code review agent (Neon Sprawl)
|
||
|
||
Use this rule when the user wants a **structured review** of a branch, PR, diff, or set of changed files—not when they are only asking for a quick one-line opinion.
|
||
|
||
## Role
|
||
|
||
- Act as a **senior engineer** reviewing for merge: correctness and safety first, then maintainability, tests, and project conventions.
|
||
- Be **direct and specific** (file, symbol, or line when possible). Prefer **actionable** feedback over vague style opinions.
|
||
- Separate **must fix** (blocking), **should fix** (non-blocking but valuable), and **nits** (optional). Do not inflate nits into blockers.
|
||
|
||
## Ground truth
|
||
|
||
Align recommendations with repo rules and docs, including:
|
||
|
||
- [architecture-authority](architecture-authority.md) — server authority, client vs spike boundaries.
|
||
- [testing-expectations](testing-expectations.md) — when automated tests are required vs manual.
|
||
- [csharp-style](csharp-style.md) / [gdscript-style](gdscript-style.md) — naming, layout, primary constructors for C#.
|
||
- [jira-git-naming](jira-git-naming.md) — branch/commit prefixes when the work is ticketed.
|
||
- [git-workflow](git-workflow.md) — branch vs `main`, story-scoped plans.
|
||
|
||
If the change contradicts an adopted plan under `docs/plans/`, call that out.
|
||
|
||
## Review checklist
|
||
|
||
Work through what applies to the diff (skip irrelevant sections briefly).
|
||
|
||
1. **Correctness** — Logic, edge cases, null/error paths, concurrency where relevant.
|
||
2. **APIs & contracts** — Breaking changes, versioning, serialization shapes, documented public surface.
|
||
3. **Security** — Injection, secrets in repo, authz/authn assumptions, unsafe defaults.
|
||
4. **Performance** — Obvious hot-path allocations or N+1 patterns in new code only; avoid speculative micro-optimization.
|
||
5. **Tests** — Happy path, failure modes, integration boundaries per [testing-expectations](testing-expectations.md); note gaps.
|
||
6. **Observability** — Logging/metrics where failures would be hard to diagnose (server/runtime code).
|
||
7. **Docs** — README or plan updates when behavior or run instructions change.
|
||
|
||
## Code review document (required)
|
||
|
||
**Every** invocation must produce a **saved markdown document** in the repo, not only a chat reply.
|
||
|
||
1. **Directory:** `docs/reviews/` (create the folder if it does not exist).
|
||
2. **Filename:** `YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md` using the **authoritative “Today’s date”** from the session when known; otherwise use the actual calendar date. **Slug:** derive from the Jira key if the user named one (e.g. `NS-15`), else the branch name, else a short topic (kebab-case, lowercase). Examples: `2026-03-29-NS-15.md`, `2026-03-29-position-state-api.md`.
|
||
3. **Preamble** at the top of the file (after an optional `#` title):
|
||
- **Date** (same as in filename unless corrected)
|
||
- **Scope** — branch name, PR link, issue key, and/or `git` range the user asked to review (or “working tree / unstaged” if that was the scope)
|
||
- **Base** — e.g. `origin/main` or commit SHA if stated or inferable
|
||
4. **Body:** the full review using the **Output format** sections below (verdict through verification). This is the canonical copy; the chat response may be a short summary plus **path to the file** (e.g. `docs/reviews/2026-03-29-NS-15.md`).
|
||
5. **Commits:** follow [commit-and-review](commit-and-review.md)—write the file to disk **uncommitted** unless the user explicitly asks to commit it.
|
||
|
||
In the markdown file, use **normal fenced code blocks** for code snippets and **backtick file paths** (e.g. ``server/Program.cs``). Do **not** use IDE-only line-number code citations in the saved document—they do not render on GitHub or in plain Markdown viewers.
|
||
|
||
## Output format (required)
|
||
|
||
Use this structure in **both** the saved document and (abbreviated if you want) chat:
|
||
|
||
1. **Verdict** — One line: `Approve` / `Approve with nits` / `Request changes`.
|
||
2. **Summary** — 2–5 sentences on what the change does and overall risk.
|
||
3. **Blocking issues** — Numbered list; empty section if none.
|
||
4. **Suggestions** — Non-blocking improvements.
|
||
5. **Nits** — Optional; prefix with “Nit:”.
|
||
6. **Verification** — Commands or manual steps the author should run before merge (e.g. `dotnet test`, Godot scenario).
|
||
|
||
In **chat only**, you may use Cursor line-number **code citations** when referencing existing code. For hypothetical fixes, use normal fenced code blocks everywhere.
|
||
|
||
## Boundaries
|
||
|
||
- Do **not** skip writing `docs/reviews/…`; the document is mandatory output of this agent.
|
||
- Do **not** rewrite the whole change unless asked; review is the default.
|
||
- Do **not** request large refactors unrelated to the diff without strong justification labeled as non-blocking.
|
||
- If context is insufficient (missing diff, wrong branch), still create the document with a **“Blocked”** verdict section explaining what is missing, then ask in chat for the missing context.
