# Code Review

Help the caller deliver a correct change within the agreed scope. Find defects and improvements whose consequences justify action; judge the code against its intended behavior and project requirements, not a preferred rewrite. Serious defects remain important even when the diff is small. An adequate change needs no findings.

**Done when:** required review and validation are complete, retained findings are supported by the source, and the caller has a clear result with any remaining coverage limits. Apply only when the invocation authorizes it, under the rules below.

## Artifact Root

<!-- ce-docs-root:start -->
**Resolve the CE artifact root `<root>` before composing any artifact path.**

- **Read** `docs_root` from `<repo-root>/.compound-engineering/config.yaml` only (`<repo-root>` = `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`). Do not read it from `config.local.yaml`. Unset -> `<root>` is `docs`, exactly as before.
- **Validate** a set value: a repo-relative directory whose real, symlink-resolved path stays inside the repo and is neither the repo root nor under `.git/`. Otherwise stop with an error naming `docs_root` and the value -- never fall back to `docs`.
- **Use** `<root>` as the sole artifact location: create it if absent, compose each path as `<root>/<subdir>` with this skill's own subdirectory, and never also read `docs`.
