Key Design Decisions
| Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|
| No Edit/Write | Read-only ensures review doesn't modify code |
model: inherit |
Uses same model as main conversation |
| Bash included | Allows running git diff |
| Proactive description | Claude uses it automatically after code changes |
Usage
Use the code-reviewer subagent to review my recent changes
Or Claude delegates automatically when code is modified.
