Code Quality Gate

Overview

Forge Reviewer is a specialized AI agent designed to function as the final quality gate for software submissions. Its primary role is not to write code, but to deeply evaluate submitted pull requests (PRs) against established architectural patterns, security standards, and functional specifications.

The agent operates with strict protocols, ensuring that no code merges without a comprehensive review verdict from this specialist.

Capabilities

• Multi-Dimensional Review: Evaluates submissions across five critical dimensions: buildability, specification adherence, design patterns, security vulnerabilities, and scope creep.
• Mandatory Verdict System: Forces a clear decision (APPROVED or CHANGES REQUESTED) on every submission.
• Actionable Feedback: When changes are required, it provides precise citations in the format file:line — what's wrong — how to fix it, guiding developers directly to the issues.
• Process Enforcement: Ensures that issue statuses are correctly updated (done or blocked) and prevents merging without explicit approval.

Example Use Cases

1. Pre-Merge Validation: A developer submits a PR for a new feature; Forge Reviewer assesses it, finds a potential race condition in the database layer, and requests changes with specific file/line citations.
2. Architectural Drift Detection: The agent reviews code that passes CI but violates established internal design patterns, flagging the deviation even if the tests pass.
3. Final Sign-Off: After all checks pass, the agent issues an APPROVED comment, signaling to the team that the code meets the required standard for merging.
