Code Review Patterns

Overview

Structured patterns for multi-dimensional code review with strict confidence gating. Only issues with >=80% confidence are reported. Zero tolerance for empty catch blocks.

Four Dimensions

Security (weight: 30%)

  • Injection vulnerabilities (SQL, XSS, command)
  • Authentication and authorization patterns
  • Secrets handling (no hardcoded credentials)
  • Input validation and sanitization

Quality (weight: 25%)

  • Naming conventions and consistency
  • Code structure (SRP, cohesion, coupling)
  • Error handling completeness
  • Type safety (no any escapes)

Performance (weight: 20%)

  • Algorithmic complexity (flag O(n^2) or worse)
  • Resource and memory leaks
  • Database query efficiency (N+1)
  • Caching opportunities

Maintainability (weight: 25%)

  • Documentation (JSDoc/TSDoc for public APIs)
  • Test coverage adequacy
  • Readability (function length, nesting depth)
  • Tech debt markers (TODO, FIXME)

Confidence Gating

  • Only report issues with confidence >= 80%
  • Empty catch blocks are always critical (100% confidence)
  • Classify: critical, high, medium, low
  • Include actionable remediation for each issue

Router Contract

Every review must produce: STATUS, BLOCKING, REQUIRES_REMEDIATION, issue counts.

When to Use

  • Code review step in BUILD workflow
  • Fix review in DEBUG workflow
  • Full REVIEW workflow

Agents Used

  • code-reviewer (primary consumer)
  • silent-failure-hunter (error handling dimension)
