# Code Review Orchestration Workflow

Comprehensive code review workflow orchestrating 12-15 specialized reviewers across automated checks, parallel expert reviews, integration analysis, and final approval recommendation. Designed for thorough quality validation across security, performance, architecture, testing, and documentation dimensions in a systematic 4-hour process.

## Overview

This SOP implements a multi-dimensional code review process using star topology coordination where a central PR manager orchestrates specialized reviewers operating in parallel. The workflow emphasizes both thoroughness and efficiency by running automated checks first (gate 1), then parallelizing specialized human-centric reviews, followed by integration impact analysis, and finally synthesizing all findings into actionable recommendations.

The star pattern enables each specialist to focus deeply on their domain while the coordinator ensures comprehensive coverage and prevents conflicting feedback. Memory coordination allows reviewers to reference findings from other specialists, creating a holistic review experience.

## Trigger Conditions

Use this workflow when:
- Reviewing pull requests requiring comprehensive quality validation
- Changes span multiple quality dimensions (code, security, performance, architecture)
- Need systematic review from multiple specialist perspectives
- PR introduces significant functionality or architectural changes
- Merge decision requires evidence-based go/no-go recommendation
- Team wants consistent, repeatable review process
- Code review SLA is within 4 hours (business hours)

## Workflow Phases

### Phase 1: Automated Checks (30 Minutes, Parallel Gate)

**Duration**: 30 minutes
**Execution Mode**: Parallel automated validation (fast fail-fast gate)
**Agents**: `code-analyzer`, `tester`, `qa-engineer`, `pr-manager`

**Process**:

1. **Initialize Review Swarm**
   ```bash
   PR_ID="$1"  # e.g., "repo-name/pulls/123"
   PR_NUMBER=$(echo $PR_ID | cut -d'/' -f3)

   npx claude-flow hooks pre-task --description "Code review: PR #${PR_NUMBER}"
   npx claude-flow swarm init --topology star --max-agents 15 --strategy specialized
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type pr-manager
   ```

   **PR Manager** retrieves PR metadata:
   - Changed files and line counts
   - Commit history and messages
   - Branch comparison (base vs head)
   - PR description and labels
   - Author and reviewers assigned

   **Memory Storage**:
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow memory store --key "code-review/${PR_ID}/metadata" \
     --value '{"pr_number": "'"${PR_NUMBER}"'", "files_changed": 15, "lines_added": 342, "lines_deleted": 78}'
   ```

2. **Run Automated Checks in Parallel**
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow task orchestrate --strategy parallel --max-agents 4
   ```

   Spawn all automated check agents concurrently:

   **Linting Check** (Code Analyzer):
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type code-analyzer --focus "linting"

   # Run linting
   npm run lint  # ESLint for JS/TS
   # or
   pylint src/  # Python
   # or
   rubocop  # Ruby
   ```

   Checks:
   - Code style violations (max line length, indentation)
   - Unused variables and imports
   - Type errors (TypeScript)
   - Deprecated API usage
   - Code complexity warnings

   **Memory Pattern**: `code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-1/code-analyzer/lint-results`

   **Test Execution** (Tester):
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type tester --focus "test-execution"

   # Run test suite
   npm test  # Jest/Mocha
   # or
   pytest  # Python
   # or
   rspec  # Ruby
   ```

   Validates:
   - All unit tests passing
   - All integration tests passing
   - All E2E tests passing (if applicable)
   - No flaky test failures
   - Test execution time within limits

   **Memory Pattern**: `code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-1/tester/test-results`

   **Coverage Analysis** (QA Engineer):
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type tester --focus "coverage"

   # Generate coverage report
   npm run test:coverage
   ```

   Checks:
   - Overall coverage > 80%
   - New code coverage > 90%
   - No critical paths uncovered
   - Coverage delta (did coverage decrease?)
   - Untested branches and conditions

   **Memory Pattern**: `code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-1/qa-engineer/coverage-report`

   **Build Validation** (Code Analyzer):
   ```bash
   # Clean build validation
   npm run build
   # or
   python setup.py build
   ```

   Validates:
   - Clean build (no errors, no warnings)
   - Type checking passes (TypeScript, mypy)
   - No broken dependencies
   - Bundle size within limits (for frontend)
   - No circular dependencies

   **Memory Pattern**: `code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-1/code-analyzer/build-status`

3. **Evaluate Gate 1 Results**
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow memory retrieve --pattern "code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-1/*/results"
   ```

   **PR Manager** aggregates automated results:
   - Lint: PASS/FAIL (violations count)
   - Tests: PASS/FAIL (passed/failed/skipped)
   - Coverage: PASS/FAIL (percentage, delta)
   - Build: PASS/FAIL (errors/warnings)

   **Decision Logic**:
   ```javascript
   if (lintFailed || testsFailed || buildFailed) {
     // Request fixes from author
     await notifyAuthor({
       status: 'CHANGES_REQUESTED',
       message: 'Automated checks failed. Please fix before review continues.',
       details: summarizeFailures()
     });

     // Store feedback and stop review
     await memory_store(`code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-1/automated-feedback`);
     return; // Stop review until fixed
   }

   // All automated checks passed, proceed to Phase 2
   await notifyAuthor({
     status: 'IN_REVIEW',
     message: 'Automated checks passed. Proceeding with specialized reviews.'
   });
   ```

**Outputs**:
- Automated check results (pass/fail for each)
- Test execution report
- Coverage report with delta
- Build status

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] All linting checks passing
- [ ] All tests passing (100% of test suite)
- [ ] Code coverage meets thresholds
- [ ] Build successful with no errors

### Phase 3: Integration Analysis (1 Hour, Sequential Impact Assessment)

**Duration**: 1 hour
**Execution Mode**: Sequential end-to-end impact analysis
**Agents**: `tester`, `devops-engineer`, `product-manager`, `code-reviewer`

**Process**:

1. **Integration Testing**
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type tester --focus "integration-impact"
   ```

   **QA Engineer** tests:
   - Does this change break existing functionality?
   - Are all integration tests passing?
   - Does it integrate properly with related modules?
   - Any unexpected side effects or regressions?

   Run integration test suite:
   ```bash
   npm run test:integration
   ```

   **Findings**:
   - Integration tests: 45/45 passing
   - No regressions detected
   - New functionality integrates cleanly

   **Memory Pattern**: `code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-3/tester/integration-tests`

2. **Deployment Impact Assessment**
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow memory retrieve --key "code-review/${PR_ID}/metadata"
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type cicd-engineer --focus "deployment-impact"
   ```

   **DevOps Engineer** evaluates:
   - Infrastructure changes needed? (new services, scaling)
   - Database migrations required? (schema changes)
   - Configuration updates needed? (env vars, secrets)
   - Backward compatibility maintained? (can rollback safely)
   - Rollback plan clear and tested?

   **Findings**:
   ```json
   {
     "infrastructure_changes": ["Add Redis cache for session storage"],
     "database_migrations": ["Add index on users.email for faster lookups"],
     "config_updates": ["Add REDIS_URL environment variable"],
     "backward_compatible": true,
     "rollback_complexity": "LOW",
     "deployment_risk": "MEDIUM"
   }
   ```

   **Memory Pattern**: `code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-3/devops-engineer/deployment-impact`

3. **User Impact Assessment**
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type planner --focus "user-impact"
   ```

   **Product Manager** assesses:
   - Does this improve user experience?
   - Any user-facing changes? (UI/UX)
   - Consistent with design system?
   - Analytics/tracking updated?
   - Feature flags needed?

   **Findings**:
   ```json
   {
     "user_facing_changes": ["New export functionality in dashboard"],
     "ux_impact": "POSITIVE",
     "design_system_compliant": true,

   npx claude-flow memory retrieve --pattern "code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-3/*"
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type reviewer --focus "risk-analysis"
   ```

   **Code Reviewer** analyzes:
   - What's the blast radius of this change? (how many users/services affected)
   - Worst-case failure scenario? (data loss, downtime, security breach)
   - Do we have rollback procedures? (tested and documented)
   - Should this be feature-flagged? (gradual rollout)
   - Is monitoring and alerting adequate? (can detect issues quickly)

   **Risk Matrix**:
   ```json
   {
     "blast_radius": "MEDIUM (affects 30% of users)",
     "worst_case_scenario": "Temporary export failures (no data loss)",
     "rollback_available": true,
     "rollback_tested": false,
     "feature_flag_needed": true,
     "monitoring_adequate": true,
     "overall_risk": "MEDIUM",
     "recommendation": "CONDITIONAL_APPROVE (add feature flag + test rollback)"
   }
   ```

   **Memory Pattern**: `code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-3/code-reviewer/risk-analysis`

**Outputs**:
- Integration test results
- Deployment impact report
- User impact assessment
- Risk analysis with mitigation recommendations

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] Integration tests passing
- [ ] Deployment plan documented
- [ ] User impact understood
- [ ] Risk assessment complete with mitigation

---

### Phase 4: Final Approval (30 Minutes, Decision & Notification)

**Duration**: 30 minutes
**Execution Mode**: Sequential synthesis and decision
**Agents**: `pr-manager`

**Process**:

1. **Generate Final Review Summary**
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow memory retrieve --pattern "code-review/${PR_ID}/**"
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type pr-manager --focus "final-summary"
   ```

   **PR Manager** synthesizes all phases:

   **Summary Report**:
   ```markdown
   # Code Review Summary: PR #${PR_NUMBER}

   ## Automated Checks ✅
   - Linting: ✅ PASS (0 violations)
   - Tests: ✅ PASS (142/142 passing)
   - Coverage: ✅ PASS (93.5%, +2.3% delta)
   - Build: ✅ PASS (clean build, no warnings)

   ## Specialized Reviews
   - **Code Quality**: 4/5 stars (Good quality, minor improvements suggested)
   - **Security**: ⚠️ 1 HIGH issue (SQL injection risk in user query)
   - **Performance**: ⚠️ 1 HIGH impact (N+1 query problem)
   - **Architecture**: ⚠️ 1 MAJOR concern (tight coupling to payment provider)
   - **Documentation**: 75% complete (missing API docs + changelog)

   ## Integration Analysis
   - **Integration Tests**: ✅ All passing (45/45)
   - **Deployment Impact**: MEDIUM risk (requires Redis + DB migration)
   - **User Impact**: POSITIVE (new export feature)
   - **Risk Level**: MEDIUM (feature flag recommended)

   ## Blocking Issues (MUST FIX)
   1. [HIGH/SECURITY] SQL injection risk in src/api/users.ts:78
   2. [HIGH/PERFORMANCE] N+1 query in src/services/user-service.ts:125

   ## High-Priority Recommendations (SHOULD FIX)
   3. [MAJOR/ARCHITECTURE] Decouple payment service from Stripe SDK
   4. [MEDIUM/DOCUMENTATION] Add API documentation for webhook endpoint
   5. [MEDIUM/DEPLOYMENT] Add feature flag for gradual rollout

   ## Overall Decision: ⏸️ REQUEST CHANGES

   **Rationale**: Code is high quality overall, but 2 blocking issues (security + performance) must be addressed before merge. Once fixed, this PR will be ready for production.

   **Next Steps**:
   1. Author fixes blocking issues (estimated 2-4 hours)
   2. Re-run automated checks + security/performance reviews
   3. Once green, approve for merge with feature flag enabled
   ```

   **Memory Storage**:
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow memory store --key "code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-4/final-summary" \
     --value "${FINAL_SUMMARY_MARKDOWN}"
   ```

2. **Determine Decision**

   **Decision Logic**:
   ```javascript
   function determineDecision(aggregatedReview) {
     const { blocking, highPriority, security, performance } = aggregatedReview;

     // REJECT: Fundamental architectural problems or severe quality issues
     if (blocking.length > 5 || security.critical > 0) {
       return {
         decision: 'REJECT',
         message: 'Too many critical issues or fundamental architectural problems. Consider alternative approach.'
       };
     }

     // REQUEST CHANGES: Blocking issues that must be fixed
     if (blocking.length > 0 || security.high > 0 || performance.high > 0) {
       return {
         decision: 'REQUEST_CHANGES',
         message: `${blocking.length} blocking issue(s) must be fixed before merge.`
       };
     }

     // CONDITIONAL APPROVE: High-priority items should be addressed
     if (highPriority.length > 0) {
       return {
         decision: 'CONDITIONAL_APPROVE',
         message: `Approved with ${highPriority.length} recommendations to address before or after merge.`
       };
     }

     // APPROVE: All quality gates passed
     return {
       decision: 'APPROVE',
       message: 'All quality checks passed. Ready to merge.'
     };
   }
   ```

3. **Notify Author**
   ```bash
   npx claude-flow agent spawn --type pr-manager --focus "author-notification"
   ```

   **PR Manager** sends notification:
   - GitHub PR comment with full review summary
   - Label PR appropriately ("changes-requested", "approved", "rejected")
   - Assign back to author (if changes needed)
   - Tag relevant reviewers for specific issues

   **GitHub PR Comment** (example for REQUEST_CHANGES):
   ```markdown

## Memory Coordination

### Namespace Convention

All review data follows this hierarchical pattern:

```
code-review/{pr-id}/phase-{N}/{reviewer-type}/{findings-type}
```

**Examples**:
- `code-review/repo/pulls/123/metadata`
- `code-review/repo/pulls/123/phase-1/code-analyzer/lint-results`
- `code-review/repo/pulls/123/phase-2/security-manager/security-review`
- `code-review/repo/pulls/123/phase-3/devops-engineer/deployment-impact`
- `code-review/repo/pulls/123/phase-4/final-summary`

### Cross-Phase Data Flow

**Phase 1 → Phase 2**:
```bash
# Phase 2 reviewers check if Phase 1 passed
npx claude-flow memory retrieve --pattern "code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-1/*/results"

# Only proceed if all automated checks passed
if [ "$(jq '.all_passed' < phase1_results.json)" = "true" ]; then
  # Spawn specialist reviewers
  npx claude-flow task orchestrate --strategy parallel
fi
```

**Phase 2 → Phase 3**:
```bash
# Phase 3 integration analysis references specialist findings
npx claude-flow memory retrieve --pattern "code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-2/security-manager/security-review"
npx claude-flow memory retrieve --pattern "code-review/${PR_ID}/phase-2/performance-analyzer/performance-review"

# Risk analysis considers all specialist findings
```

**Phase 3 → Phase 4**:
```bash
# Phase 4 final decision aggregates all prior phases
npx claude-flow memory retrieve --pattern "code-review/${PR_ID}/**"

# Generate comprehensive summary
```
