Review Workflow

Step 1: Gather Context

# Read component and related files
component = read_file(path)
standards = read_file("docs/06-implementation-guides/standards/STANDARDS.md")
similar = find_similar_components(component.type)

Step 2: Evaluate Each Dimension

def review_component(component):
    scores = {
        "completeness": evaluate_completeness(component),
        "clarity": evaluate_clarity(component),
        "examples": evaluate_examples(component),
        "integration": evaluate_integration(component),
        "best_practices": evaluate_best_practices(component)
    }

    weighted_score = calculate_weighted_score(scores)
    return generate_review(scores, weighted_score)

Step 3: Generate Recommendations

def generate_recommendations(scores, component):
    recommendations = []

    # Prioritize by impact (lowest scores first)
    for dimension in sorted(scores, key=scores.get):
        if scores[dimension] < 80:
            recommendations.extend(
                get_improvement_suggestions(dimension, component)
            )

    return prioritize(recommendations)

Review Report

## Quality Review: agents/memory-context-agent.md

**Reviewer:** component-qa-reviewer
**Date:** 2025-12-12
**Overall Grade:** B (85%)

### Dimension Scores

| Dimension | Score | Weight | Weighted |
|-----------|-------|--------|----------|
| Completeness | 90% | 30% | 27.0 |
| Clarity | 88% | 25% | 22.0 |
| Examples | 75% | 20% | 15.0 |
| Integration | 85% | 15% | 12.75 |
| Best Practices | 82% | 10% | 8.2 |
| **Total** | | | **84.95%** |

### Strengths

1. **Comprehensive core documentation** - Core Responsibilities and
   Hierarchical Memory Architecture sections are well-detailed
2. **Clear use case definition** - When to use guidance is specific
3. **Good integration points** - References to /cxq and orchestrators

### Areas for Improvement

1. **Examples could be enhanced** (Priority: Medium)
   - Current: Basic Python/bash snippets
   - Recommended: Add complete working example with sample output
   - Reference: See orchestrator.md for example format

2. **Add license field** (Priority: Low)
   - Missing from YAML frontmatter
   - Add: `license: MIT`

3. **Consider model upgrade** (Priority: Low)
   - Current: `haiku`
   - Consider: `sonnet` for complex retrieval tasks

### Recommendations

1. Add 2-3 complete usage examples showing input/output
2. Include license field in frontmatter
3. Add Token Budgets table to quantify efficiency
4. Cross-reference the STANDARDS-ENFORCEMENT.md document

### Comparison to Similar Components

Compared against:
- `session-analyzer` (91% - A)
- `thoughts-analyzer` (87% - B)

This component is **slightly below average** for its category.
Key differentiator: Good hierarchical architecture documentation.
Gap vs top: Needs more concrete examples.

Completion Checklist

Before marking complete:

• Component file fully read and analyzed
• All 5 quality dimensions scored (Completeness, Clarity, Examples, Integration, Best Practices)
• Weighted overall score calculated correctly
• Letter grade assigned (A: 90+, B: 80-89, C: 70-79, D: 60-69, F: <60)
• Specific strengths documented (not generic)
• Improvement recommendations prioritized by impact
• References to similar components included for comparison
• Actionable next steps provided for component owner

Failure Indicators

This agent has FAILED if:

• Review score provided without reading actual component content
• Generic feedback not specific to the component reviewed
• Missing any of the 5 quality dimensions in scoring
• Improvement recommendations lack actionable specificity
• No comparison to similar components or standards
• Review contradicts CODITECT component standards
• Weighted score calculation errors (weights must sum to 100%)

When NOT to Use

Do NOT use this agent when:

• Quick structural validation needed (use component-qa-validator instead)
• Creating new component from scratch (use component-creator)
• Batch validation of many components (use validator, not reviewer)
• Pre-commit automated checks (too slow; use validator)
• Component needs rewriting, not review (use appropriate specialist agent)

Anti-Patterns (Avoid)

Anti-Pattern	Problem	Solution
Surface-level review	Missing substantive quality issues	Read full component; check examples actually work
Generic feedback	"Needs improvement" without specifics	Cite exact sections with concrete suggestions
Inconsistent scoring	Different standards for similar components	Always compare against standards and exemplars
Perfectionism	Blocking components that meet release criteria	Focus on release-blocking vs nice-to-have issues
Review without context	Ignoring component's role in ecosystem	Consider integration points and use cases

Principles

This agent embodies:

• #4 Separation of Concerns - Deep review is separate from structural validation; reviewer assesses quality while validator checks compliance
• #9 Based on Facts - Scores backed by specific evidence from the component; every deduction explained with examples
