From the author

Coordinate parallel code reviews across multiple quality dimensions with finding deduplication, severity calibration, and consolidated reporting. Use this skill when organizing multi-reviewer code reviews, calibrating finding severity, or consolidating review results.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

Multi-Reviewer Patterns provides a systematic approach to managing complex code reviews where multiple reviewers assess different quality dimensions simultaneously. It offers a standardized process for allocating review focus, deduplicating findings across reports, calibrating severity levels, and generating a consolidated final report. By using predefined dimensions—such as Security, Performance, Architecture, Testing, and Accessibility—teams can ensure comprehensive coverage while maintaining consistency in how issues are identified, ranked, and communicated.

What it does

  • Defines specific review dimensions and their appropriate use cases.
  • Provides rules for merging and deduplicating findings from multiple reviewers.
  • Establishes a severity calibration framework to ensure consistent impact assessment.
  • Offers a structured template for creating consolidated code review reports.
  • Includes detailed checklists for security, performance, architecture, testing, and accessibility.

When to use it

  • When conducting complex code reviews that require multiple areas of expertise.
  • When you need to reconcile conflicting feedback from different reviewers.
  • When you need to standardize severity ratings across a team.
  • When preparing a final, consolidated report for a large pull request or structural change.

Advantages

  • Reduces noise by deduplicating findings from multiple sources.
  • Ensures consistent severity assessment across different reviewers.
  • Provides clear, actionable guidance for various quality dimensions.
  • Facilitates professional and organized communication of review results.

Usage examples

“I have three reviewers looking at an API change. How should I combine their findings?”
The skill provides a deduplication process to merge findings by file and line, resolve conflicting severities by taking the higher rating, and include all reviewer attributions.
“How do I decide which review dimensions to apply to a database migration?”
The skill recommends focusing on Performance and Architecture dimensions for database migrations, providing specific checklists for each.

Multi-Reviewer Patterns

Patterns for coordinating parallel code reviews across multiple quality dimensions, deduplicating findings, calibrating severity, and producing consolidated reports.

When to Use This Skill

  • Organizing a multi-dimensional code review

  • Deciding which review dimensions to assign

  • Deduplicating findings from multiple reviewers

  • Calibrating severity ratings consistently

  • Producing a consolidated review report

Review Dimension Allocation

Available Dimensions
DimensionFocusWhen to Include
SecurityVulnerabilities, auth, input validationAlways for code handling user input or auth
PerformanceQuery efficiency, memory, cachingWhen changing data access or hot paths
ArchitectureSOLID, coupling, patternsFor structural changes or new modules
TestingCoverage, quality, edge casesWhen adding new functionality
AccessibilityWCAG, ARIA, keyboard navFor UI/frontend changes
Recommended Combinations
ScenarioDimensions
API endpoint changesSecurity, Performance, Architecture
Frontend componentArchitecture, Testing, Accessibility
Database migrationPerformance, Architecture
Authentication changesSecurity, Testing
Full feature reviewSecurity, Performance, Architecture, Testing

Finding Deduplication

When multiple reviewers report issues at the same location:

Merge Rules

  1. Same file:line, same issue — Merge into one finding, credit all reviewers

  2. Same file:line, different issues — Keep as separate findings

  3. Same issue, different locations — Keep separate but cross-reference

  4. Conflicting severity — Use the higher severity rating

  5. Conflicting recommendations — Include both with reviewer attribution

Deduplication Process
For each finding in all reviewer reports:
  1. Check if another finding references the same file:line
  2. If yes, check if they describe the same issue
  3. If same issue: merge, keeping the more detailed description
  4. If different issue: keep both, tag as "co-located"
  5. Use highest severity among merged findings

Severity Calibration

Severity Criteria
SeverityImpactLikelihoodExamples
CriticalData loss, security breach, complete failureCertain or very likelySQL injection, auth bypass, data corruption
HighSignificant functionality impact, degradationLikelyMemory leak, missing validation, broken flow
MediumPartial impact, workaround existsPossibleN+1 query, missing edge case, unclear error
LowMinimal impact, cosmeticUnlikelyStyle issue, minor optimization, naming
Calibration Rules

  • Security vulnerabilities exploitable by external users: always Critical or High

  • Performance issues in hot paths: at least Medium

  • Missing tests for critical paths: at least Medium

  • Accessibility violations for core functionality: at least Medium

  • Code style issues with no functional impact: Low
