Review Deep

Invoke the unified reviewer in local mode with a stronger reasoning model for deeper analysis. Same comprehensive review framework as /review — validates against specification, implementation plan, code quality heuristics, and repository rules.

User invocation: /review-deep [directives...] Examples: /review-deep PDEV-123 /review-deep GH-456 dry run /review-deep PDEV-123 base=staging /review-deep GH-456 head=feat/GH-456/new-endpoint base=production preview only /review-deep PDEV-123 no commit

workItemRef='$1' — Tracker reference (e.g., PDEV-123, GH-456). REQUIRED. directives: remainder free-text. OPTIONAL. Derived flags: baseBranch, headRef, commit (default true), dryRun (default false).

Locate change folder: search doc/changes/**/*----*/ If not found, search: doc/changes/**/chg--spec.md Spec file: chg--spec.md; derive slug & change.type from frontmatter. Plan file: chg--plan.md Folder pattern: doc/changes/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD----/ Abort with clear error if spec OR plan missing.

changeBranch = // headRef: directives override, else try changeBranch, fallback: current HEAD. baseBranch: directives override, else main, fallback: master. Compute merge-base and gather symmetric diff baseBranch...headRef.

Directives (case-insensitive):

• Base branch: base= | base branch | compare vs
• Head ref: head= | head ref | branch
• Disable commit: commit=false | no commit
• Dry run: dry run | preview only

Unrecognized tokens ignored.

1. Validate workItemRef format (uppercase prefix + hyphen + digits).
2. Resolve spec; extract change.type & slug.
3. Resolve plan; parse phases & existing remediation.
4. Load repository rules (AGENTS.md, .ai/rules/**).
5. Resolve branches & compute diff metadata.
6. If dryRun: prepare preview but do NOT write.

The reviewer agent applies its full review framework:

Spec/plan compliance (local mode):

• Scope compliance: changed files align with spec capabilities
• Plan alignment: all tasks done, acceptance criteria have evidence
• Plan task audit: OPENTASKS, DONEBUTUNCHECKED, CHECKEDBUT_MISSING
• Out-of-scope detection: changes to files not in plan

Code quality heuristics (both modes):

• Full built-in heuristic framework: correctness, security, performance, reliability, API compat, testing gaps, documentation, dependencies
• Repository-local rules from .ai/agent/code-review-instructions.md and .ai/rules/

Ticket context (when available):

• Acceptance criteria verification against implementation
• Linked issue traversal for additional constraints and decisions

The reviewer loads all available context — spec, plan, ticket, repo rules, heuristics — and applies them holistically. Do not duplicate heuristic definitions here; they live in the reviewer agent prompt.

[severity: major|minor|nit] [:line] — ; fix:

If findings exist, append new phase to plan:

### Phase X: Code Review Remediation

- Goal: Address code review findings.
- Tasks:
  - [ ] 
- Acceptance criteria:
  - Must: All fixes implemented and validated.
  - Must: Updated tests pass.
- Files and modules: 
- Completion signal: docs(plan): remediate review findings for 

Rules:

• X = max existing phase + 1.
• Do NOT modify earlier phases.
• Append revision log entry.

• If commit=true and not dryRun: stage plan file, create Conventional Commit via /commit.
• If commit=false: write only.
• Dry run: no write; include preview in output.

1. Review Summary: pass/fail; changed files count; key themes.
2. Findings: one line per item.
3. Plan Update: "Added Phase X" OR "No plan changes required." OR dry-run preview.
4. Branch info: base, head, changeBranch.
5. Next action: suggest /run-plan if remediation added.

• Only modify plan file; never touch spec or code.
• Never include doc/changes/current in paths.
• Idempotent: re-running yields no duplicate tasks.
• No external network calls.

• Missing spec or plan: abort with message.
• Unable to derive slug or change.type: abort.
• Branch resolution failure: fallback to HEAD; note in summary.
• Empty diff: advisory; no remediation unless plan gaps found.
