  # Requesting Code Review

  Dispatch a code reviewer subagent to catch issues before they cascade. The
  reviewer gets precisely crafted context for evaluation — never your session's
  history. This keeps the reviewer focused on the work product, not your thought
  process, and preserves your own context for continued work.

  **Core principle:** Review early, review often.

  ## When to Request Review

  **Mandatory:**

  - After each task in subagent-driven development
