--- deferred_work_file: '{implementation_artifacts}/deferred-work.md' --- # Step 4: Present and Act ## RULES - YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}` - When `{spec_file}` is set, always write findings to the story file before offering action choices. - `decision-needed` findings must be resolved before handling `patch` findings. ## INSTRUCTIONS ### 1. Clean review shortcut If zero findings remain after triage (all dismissed or none raised): state that and proceed to section 6 (Sprint Status Update). ### 2. Write findings to the story file If `{spec_file}` exists and contains a Tasks/Subtasks section, append a `### Review Findings` subsection. Write all findings in this order: 1. **`decision-needed`** findings (unchecked): `- [ ] [Review][Decision] — <Detail>` 2. **`patch`** findings (unchecked): `- [ ] [Review][Patch] <Title> [<file>:<line>]` 3. **`defer`** findings (checked off, marked deferred): `- [x] [Review][Defer] <Title> [<file>:<line>] — deferred, pre-existing` Also append each `defer` finding to `{deferred_work_file}` under a heading `## Deferred from: code review ({date})`. If `{spec_file}` is set, include its basename in the heading (e.g., `code review of story-3.3 (2026-03-18)`). One bullet per finding with description. ### 3. Present summary Announce what was written: > **Code review complete.** <D> `decision-needed`, <P> `patch`, <W> `defer`, <R> dismissed as noise. If `{spec_file}` is set, add: `Findings written to the review findings section in {spec_file}.` Otherwise add: `Findings are listed above. No story file was provided, so nothing was persisted.` ### 4. Resolve decision-needed findings If `decision_needed` findings exist, present each one with its detail and the options available. The user must decide — the correct fix is ambiguous without their input. Walk through each finding (or batch related ones) and get the user's call. Once resolved, each becomes a `patch`, `defer`, or is dismissed. If the user chooses to defer, ask: Quick one-line reason for deferring this item? (helps future reviews): — then append that reason to both the story file bullet and the `{deferred_work_file}` entry. **HALT** — I am waiting for your numbered choice. Reply with only the number (or "0" for batch). Do not proceed until you select an option. ### 5. Handle `patch` findings If `patch` findings exist (including any resolved from step 4), HALT. Ask the user: If `{spec_file}` is set, present all three options (if >3 `patch` findings exist, also show option 0): > **How would you like to handle the <Z> `patch` findings?** > 0. **Batch-apply all** — automatically fix every non-controversial patch (recommended when there are many) > 1. **Fix them automatically** — I will apply fixes now > 2. **Leave as action items** — they are already in the story file > 3. **Walk through each** — let me show details before deciding If `{spec_file}` is **not** set, present only options 1 and 3 (omit option 2 — findings were not written to a file). If >3 `patch` findings exist, also show option 0: > **How would you like to handle the <Z> `patch` findings?** > 0. **Batch-apply all** — automatically fix every non-controversial patch (recommended when there are many) > 1. **Fix them automatically** — I will apply fixes now > 2. **Walk through each** — let me show details before deciding **HALT** — I am waiting for your numbered choice. Reply with only the number (or "0" for batch). Do not proceed until you select an option. - **Option 0** (only when >3 findings): Apply all non-controversial patches without per-finding confirmation. Skip any finding that requires judgment. Present a summary of changes made and any skipped findings. - **Option 1**: Apply each fix. After all patches are applied, present a summary of changes made. If `{spec_file}` is set, check off the items in the story file. - **Option 2** (only when `{spec_file}` is set): Done — findings are already written to the story. - **Walk through each**: Present each finding with full detail, diff context, and suggested fix. After walkthrough, re-offer the applicable options above. **HALT** — I am waiting for your numbered choice. Reply with only the number (or "0" for batch). Do not proceed until you select an option. **✅ Code review actions complete** - Decision-needed resolved: <D> - Patches handled: <P> - Deferred: <W> - Dismissed: <R> ### 6. Update story status and sync sprint tracking Skip this section if `{spec_file}` is not set. #### Determine new status based on review outcome - If all `decision-needed` and `patch` findings were resolved (fixed or dismissed) AND no unresolved HIGH/MEDIUM issues remain: set `{new_status}` = `done`. Update the story file Status section to `done`. - If `patch` findings were left as action items, or unresolved issues remain: set `{new_status}` = `in-progress`. Update the story file Status section to `in-progress`. Save the story file. #### Sync sprint-status.yaml If `{story_key}` is not set, skip this subsection and note that sprint status was not synced because no story key was available. If `{sprint_status}` file exists: 1. Load the FULL `{sprint_status}` file. 2. Find the `development_status` entry matching `{story_key}`. 3. If found: update `development_status[{story_key}]` to `{new_status}`. Update `last_updated` to current date. Save the file, preserving ALL comments and structure including STATUS DEFINITIONS. 4. If `{story_key}` not found in sprint status: warn the user that the story file was updated but sprint-status sync failed. If `{sprint_status}` file does not exist, note that story status was updated in the story file only. #### Completion summary > **Review Complete!** > > **Story Status:** `{new_status}` > **Issues Fixed:** <fixed_count> > **Action Items Created:** <action_count> > **Deferred:** <W> > **Dismissed:** <R> ### 7. Next steps Present the user with follow-up options: > **What would you like to do next?** > 1. **Start the next story** — run `dev-story` to pick up the next `ready-for-dev` story > 2. **Re-run code review** — address findings and review again > 3. **Done** — end the workflow **HALT** — I am waiting for your choice. Do not proceed until the user selects an option.
