Inspecting Changes
Static analysis of code changes BEFORE execution.
Workflow Checklist
Copy and track progress:
Analysis Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Parse mode (quick/medium/deep) from arguments
- [ ] Step 2: Detect changes (git diff or explicit path)
- [ ] Step 3: Execute phases for selected mode
- [ ] Step 4: Generate report with findingsStep 1: Parse mode
- If mode in arguments → use it
- If no mode → use AskUserQuestion with options: Quick, Medium, Deep
Step 2: Detect changes
- Default:
git diff --name-status(uncommitted) - With path:
git diff --name-status -- <path> - With ref:
git diff --name-status <ref1>..<ref2>
Step 3: Execute phases by mode
| Mode | Phases | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| quick | 1, 2, 8 | Pre-commit, small changes |
| medium | 1, 2, 2b, 3, 5.1, 8 | Standard review |
| deep | 1, 2, 2b, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Major features, pre-deploy |
Step 4: Generate report
- See modules/output.md for format templates
Tool Rules
Read-only analysis. Never modify files. Never execute code.
Allowed:
git diff,git log,git show(read-only)- Read, Grep, Glob tools
Every finding MUST include file:line reference.
