Code Review Gate

Capabilities

Performs architect-level code review enforcing four core principles: DRY (no unnecessary duplication), YAGNI (no speculative features), proper abstraction (correct encapsulation), and test coverage (adequate automated tests). Provides numeric quality scores and specific file:line feedback.

Tool Use Instructions

• Use Read to examine code changes and test files
• Use Grep to search for duplication patterns and anti-patterns
• Use Glob to verify test file coverage
• Use Bash to run lint, test, and coverage commands
• Use Write to generate review reports

Process Integration

• Used in maestro-orchestrator.js Phase 4 (Architect Code Review)
• Used in maestro-development.js (PR Review Cycle)
• Used in maestro-hotfix.js (Expedited Review)
• Maps to tasks: maestro-architect-code-review, maestro-dev-architect-review, maestro-hotfix-review
• Agents: Architect, Code Reviewer
• Quality convergence loop: rejected code returns to coder for fixes
• Checks are "turned up to 11" by default
