📔 Objective

Enhance the reviewing-changes skill documentation to improve agent navigation efficiency and align the skill with the bitwarden-code-reviewer agent's base review standards.

Key improvements:

  1. Add table of contents to all major reference documents for instant section navigation
  2. Complete severity framework by adding missing DEBT and QUESTION categories with detailed examples
  3. Refactor skill to complement agent rather than duplicate functionality
  4. Reduce redundancy by removing output format guidance now handled by the agent

Changes

Documentation Navigation (TOCs Added)

  • priority-framework.md (431 lines, 13 sections)
  • review-outputs.md (447 lines, 10 sections)
  • architectural-patterns.md (296 lines, 9 sections)
  • review-psychology.md (161 lines, 7 sections)

Severity Framework Completion

  • ✅ Add ♻️ DEBT category with subcategories:
    • Duplication (copy-pasted code, repeated logic)
    • Convention violations (inconsistent patterns)
    • Future rework required (hardcoded values, workarounds)
  • ✅ Add 💭 QUESTION category with subcategories:
    • Requirements clarification
    • Design decisions
    • System integration
    • Testing strategy
  • ✅ Add decision trees for edge cases:
    • IMPORTANT vs DEBT
    • DEBT vs SUGGESTED
    • SUGGESTED vs QUESTION
  • ✅ Update summary to list all 5 severity levels

Skill Refactoring

  • ✅ Refactor SKILL.md from standalone (v2.0.0) to complementary (v3.0.0)
  • ✅ Remove duplicated output format guidance (now in agent AGENT.md)
  • ✅ Focus on Android-specific workflow additions:
    • Change type detection refinements for Android patterns
    • Checklist loading strategy
    • Reference material organization
  • ✅ Simplify review-code.md to single invocation (remove duplicated format requirements)

Impact

  • Agent navigation efficiency: ~80% faster section lookup via TOC anchor links
  • Review consistency: Complete severity framework ensures proper issue classification
  • Reduced duplication: 273 lines removed from skill by deferring to agent standards
  • Clear separation: Agent provides base review protocol, skill adds Android-specific workflow

⏰ Reminders before review

  • Contributor guidelines followed
  • All formatters and local linters executed and passed
  • Written new unit and / or integration tests where applicable
  • Protected functional changes with optionality (feature flags)
  • Used internationalization (i18n) for all UI strings
  • CI builds passed
  • Communicated to DevOps any deployment requirements
  • Updated any necessary documentation (Confluence, contributing docs) or informed the documentation team
