Comprehensive Code Review Orchestrator

CRITICAL BEHAVIORAL RULES

You MUST follow these rules exactly. Violating any of them is a failure.

1. Execute phases in order. Do NOT skip ahead, reorder, or merge phases.
2. Write output files. Each phase MUST produce its output file in .full-review/ before the next phase begins. Read from prior phase files -- do NOT rely on context window memory.
3. Stop at checkpoints. When you reach a PHASE CHECKPOINT, you MUST stop and wait for explicit user approval before continuing. Use the AskUserQuestion tool with clear options.
4. Halt on failure. If any step fails (agent error, missing files, access issues), STOP immediately. Present the error and ask the user how to proceed. Do NOT silently continue.
5. Use only local agents. All subagent_type references use agents bundled with this plugin or general-purpose. No cross-plugin dependencies.
6. Never enter plan mode autonomously. Do NOT use EnterPlanMode. This command IS the plan -- execute it.

Pre-flight Checks

Before starting, perform these checks:

1. Check for existing session

Check if .full-review/state.json exists:

• If it exists and status is "in_progress": Read it, display the current phase, and ask the user:

  Found an in-progress review session:
  Target: [target from state]
  Current phase: [phase from state]
  
  1. Resume from where we left off
  2. Start fresh (archives existing session)
  

• If it exists and status is "complete": Ask whether to archive and start fresh.

2. Initialize state

Create .full-review/ directory and state.json:

{
  "target": "$ARGUMENTS",
  "status": "in_progress",
  "flags": {
    "security_focus": false,
    "performance_critical": false,
    "strict_mode": false,
    "framework": null
  },
  "current_step": 1,
  "current_phase": 1,
  "completed_steps": [],
  "files_created": [],
  "started_at": "ISO_TIMESTAMP",
  "last_updated": "ISO_TIMESTAMP"
}

Parse $ARGUMENTS for --security-focus, --performance-critical, --strict-mode, and --framework flags. Update the flags object accordingly.

3. Identify review target

Determine what code to review from $ARGUMENTS:

• If a file/directory path is given, verify it exists
• If a description is given (e.g., "recent changes", "authentication module"), identify the relevant files
• List the files that will be reviewed and confirm with the user

Output file: .full-review/00-scope.md

# Review Scope

## Target

[Description of what is being reviewed]

## Files

[List of files/directories included in the review]

## Flags

- Security Focus: [yes/no]
- Performance Critical: [yes/no]
- Strict Mode: [yes/no]
- Framework: [name or auto-detected]

## Review Phases

1. Code Quality & Architecture
2. Security & Performance
3. Testing & Documentation
4. Best Practices & Standards
5. Consolidated Report

Update state.json: add "00-scope.md" to files_created, add step 0 to completed_steps.

Phase 1: Code Quality & Architecture Review (Steps 1A-1B)

Run both agents in parallel using multiple Task tool calls in a single response.

Step 1A: Code Quality Analysis

Task:
  subagent_type: "comprehensive-review-code-reviewer"
  description: "Code quality analysis for $ARGUMENTS"
  prompt: |
    Perform a comprehensive code quality review.

    ## Review Scope
    [Insert contents of .full-review/00-scope.md]

    ## Instructions
    Analyze the target code for:
    1. **Code complexity**: Cyclomatic complexity, cognitive complexity, deeply nested logic
    2. **Maintainability**: Naming conventions, function/method length, class cohesion
    3. **Code duplication**: Copy-pasted logic, missed abstraction opportunities
    4. **Clean Code principles**: SOLID violations, code smells, anti-patterns
    5. **Technical debt**: Areas that will become increasingly costly to change
    6. **Error handling**: Missing error handling, swallowed exceptions, unclear error messages

    For each finding, provide:
    - Severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low)
    - File and line location
    - Description of the issue
    - Specific fix recommendation with code example
