Review Story (Senior Developer Code Review)

Perform an AI-driven Senior Developer Code Review on a story flagged "Ready for Review". The workflow ingests the story, its Story Context, and the epics Tech Spec, consults local docs, uses enabled MCP servers for up-to-date best practices (with web search fallback), and appends structured review notes to the story.

What It Does

  • Auto-discovers the target story or accepts an explicit story_path
  • Verifies the story is in a reviewable state (e.g., Ready for Review/Review)
  • Loads Story Context (from Dev Agent Record → Context Reference or auto-discovery)
  • Locates the epic Tech Spec and relevant architecture/standards docs
  • Uses MCP servers for best-practices and security references; falls back to web search
  • Reviews implementation vs Acceptance Criteria, Tech Spec, and repo standards
  • Evaluates code quality, security, and test coverage
  • Appends a "Senior Developer Review (AI)" section to the story with findings and action items
  • Optionally updates story Status based on outcome

How to Invoke

  • Tell the Dev Agent to perform a *code-review after loading the dev agent. This is a context intensive operation so this should not be done in the same context as a just completed dev session - clear the context, reload the dev, then run code-review!

Inputs and Variables

  • story_path (optional): Explicit path to a story file
  • story_dir (from config): {project-root}/bmad/bmm/config.yamldev_story_location
  • allow_status_values: Defaults include Ready for Review, Review
  • auto_discover_context (default: true)
  • auto_discover_tech_spec (default: true)
  • tech_spec_glob_template: tech-spec-epic-{{epic_num}}*.md
  • arch_docs_search_dirs: Defaults to docs/ and outputs/
  • enable_mcp_doc_search (default: true)
  • enable_web_fallback (default: true)
  • update_status_on_result (default: false)

Story Updates

  • Appends a section titled: Senior Developer Review (AI) at the end
  • Adds a Change Log entry: "Senior Developer Review notes appended"
  • If enabled, updates Status based on outcome

Persistence and Backlog

To ensure review findings become actionable work, the workflow can persist action items to multiple targets (configurable):

  • Story tasks: Inserts unchecked items under Tasks / Subtasks in a "Review Follow-ups (AI)" subsection so dev-story can pick them up next.
  • Story review section: Keeps a full list under "Senior Developer Review (AI) → Action Items".
  • Backlog file: Appends normalized rows to docs/backlog.md (created if missing) for cross-cutting or longer-term improvements.
  • Epic follow-ups: If an epic Tech Spec is found, appends to its Post-Review Follow-ups section.

Configure via workflow.yaml variables:

  • persist_action_items (default: true)
  • persist_targets: story_tasks, story_review_section, backlog_file, epic_followups
  • backlog_file (default: {project-root}/docs/backlog.md)
  • update_epic_followups (default: true)
  • epic_followups_section_title (default: Post-Review Follow-ups)

Routing guidance:

  • Put must-fix items to ship the story into the storys tasks.
  • Put same-epic but non-blocking improvements into the epic Tech Spec follow-ups.
  • Put cross-cutting, future, or refactor work into the backlog file.
  • dev-story — Implements tasks/subtasks and can act on review action items
  • story-context — Generates Story Context for a single story
  • tech-spec — Generates epic Tech Spec documents
