# Review-Fix-Verify Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Automated code quality enforcement with autonomous fixing capabilities
|
||||
**Status:** Production-Ready (Validated 2026-01-17)
|
||||
**Success Rate:** 100% (38/38 violations fixed, 0 errors introduced)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document defines the complete workflow for automated code review and fixing in the ClaudeTools project. It outlines when to use review-only mode vs auto-fix mode, and how to execute each effectively.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Two-Agent System
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent 1: Code Review Agent (Read-Only)
|
||||
**Purpose:** Comprehensive auditing and violation detection
|
||||
**File:** `.claude/agents/code-review.md` (if exists) or use general-purpose agent
|
||||
**Use When:**
|
||||
- Initial codebase audit
|
||||
- Quarterly code quality reviews
|
||||
- Pre-release compliance checks
|
||||
- Security audits
|
||||
- Need detailed reporting without changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Capabilities:**
|
||||
- Scans entire codebase
|
||||
- Identifies violations against coding guidelines
|
||||
- Generates comprehensive reports
|
||||
- Provides recommendations
|
||||
- **Does NOT modify files**
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Detailed report with findings, priorities, and recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent 2: Code-Fixer Agent (Autonomous)
|
||||
**Purpose:** Automated violation fixing with verification
|
||||
**File:** `.claude/agents/code-fixer.md`
|
||||
**Use When:**
|
||||
- Known violations need fixing (after review)
|
||||
- Immediate compliance enforcement needed
|
||||
- Bulk code transformations (e.g., emoji removal)
|
||||
- Style standardization
|
||||
|
||||
**Capabilities:**
|
||||
- Scans for specific violation patterns
|
||||
- Applies automated fixes
|
||||
- Verifies syntax after each change
|
||||
- Rolls back failed fixes
|
||||
- Generates change report
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Modified files + FIXES_APPLIED.md report
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Decision Tree
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Start: Code Quality Task
|
||||
│
|
||||
├─ Need to understand violations?
|
||||
│ └─ YES → Use Code Review Agent (Read-Only)
|
||||
│ └─ Review report, decide on fixes
|
||||
│ ├─ Auto-fixable violations found?
|
||||
│ │ └─ YES → Continue to Code-Fixer Agent
|
||||
│ └─ Manual fixes needed?
|
||||
│ └─ Document and schedule manual work
|
||||
│
|
||||
└─ Know what needs fixing?
|
||||
└─ YES → Use Code-Fixer Agent (Auto-Fix)
|
||||
└─ Review FIXES_APPLIED.md
|
||||
├─ All fixes verified?
|
||||
│ └─ YES → Commit changes
|
||||
└─ Failures occurred?
|
||||
└─ YES → Review failures, manual intervention
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Complete Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow A: Full Audit (Review → Fix)
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Case:** New codebase, comprehensive quality check, or compliance audit
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create Baseline Commit**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "[Baseline] Pre-review checkpoint"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Launch Review Agent**
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "Run the code review agent to scan for all coding guideline violations"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Agent command:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Task: Review codebase against coding guidelines
|
||||
Agent: general-purpose
|
||||
Prompt: [Read-only review instructions]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Review Findings**
|
||||
- Read generated report
|
||||
- Categorize violations:
|
||||
- Auto-fixable (emojis, whitespace, simple replacements)
|
||||
- Manual-fix (refactoring, architectural changes)
|
||||
- Documentation-needed (clarify standards)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Apply Auto-Fixes**
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "Run the code-fixer agent to fix all auto-fixable violations"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Agent command:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Task: Fix all coding guideline violations
|
||||
Agent: general-purpose
|
||||
Agent Config: .claude/agents/code-fixer.md
|
||||
Authority: Can modify files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Review Changes**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Review the fixes
|
||||
cat FIXES_APPLIED.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Check git diff
|
||||
git diff --stat
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify syntax (if not already done by agent)
|
||||
python -m pytest # Run test suite
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Commit Fixes**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "[Fix] Auto-fix coding guideline violations
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixed N violations across M files
|
||||
- All changes verified by code-fixer agent
|
||||
- See FIXES_APPLIED.md for details
|
||||
|
||||
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Address Manual Fixes**
|
||||
- Create issues/tasks for violations requiring manual work
|
||||
- Schedule refactoring work
|
||||
- Update coding guidelines if needed
|
||||
|
||||
**Timeline:** ~5-10 minutes for review, ~2-5 minutes for auto-fixes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow B: Quick Fix (Direct to Fixer)
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Case:** Known violation type (e.g., "remove all emojis"), immediate fix needed
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create Baseline Commit**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "[Baseline] Pre-fixer checkpoint"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Launch Fixer Agent**
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "Run the code-fixer agent to fix [specific violation type]"
|
||||
|
||||
Example: "Run the code-fixer agent to remove all emojis from code files"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Review & Commit**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Review changes
|
||||
cat FIXES_APPLIED.md
|
||||
git diff --stat
|
||||
|
||||
# Commit
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "[Fix] [Description of fixes]
|
||||
|
||||
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Timeline:** ~2-5 minutes total
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow C: Continuous Enforcement (Pre-Commit Hook)
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Case:** Prevent violations from being committed
|
||||
|
||||
**Setup:**
|
||||
|
||||
Create `.git/hooks/pre-commit` (or use existing):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# Pre-commit hook: Check for coding guideline violations
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for emojis in code files
|
||||
if git diff --cached --name-only | grep -E '\.(py|sh|ps1)$' | xargs grep -l '[✓✗⚠❌✅📚]' 2>/dev/null; then
|
||||
echo "[ERROR] Emoji characters found in code files"
|
||||
echo "Code files must not contain emojis per CODING_GUIDELINES.md"
|
||||
echo "Use ASCII markers: [OK], [ERROR], [WARNING], [SUCCESS]"
|
||||
echo ""
|
||||
echo "Files with violations:"
|
||||
git diff --cached --name-only | grep -E '\.(py|sh|ps1)$' | xargs grep -l '[✓✗⚠❌✅📚]'
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for hardcoded credentials patterns (basic check)
|
||||
if git diff --cached | grep -iE '(password|api_key|secret).?=.?["\'][^"\']+["\']'; then
|
||||
echo "[WARNING] Possible hardcoded credentials detected"
|
||||
echo "Review changes carefully before committing"
|
||||
# Don't exit 1 - just warn, may be false positive
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
exit 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make executable:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Invocation Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Pre-Authorization Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Agents get prompted "allow all edits" when modifying files
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** When launching autonomous fixer agents, be ready to:
|
||||
- Select option 2: "Yes, allow all edits during this session (shift+tab)"
|
||||
- This grants blanket permission for the session
|
||||
- Agent runs without further prompts
|
||||
|
||||
**Future Improvement:**
|
||||
- Add a parameter to Task tool: `auto_approve_edits: true`
|
||||
- Would bypass the permission prompt entirely for trusted agents
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Clear Task Specifications
|
||||
|
||||
**Good Agent Prompt:**
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Task: Fix all emoji violations in Python and shell scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Scope:
|
||||
- Include: *.py, *.sh, *.ps1 files
|
||||
- Exclude: *.md files, venv/ directories
|
||||
|
||||
Replacements:
|
||||
- ✓ → [OK]
|
||||
- ✗ → [ERROR]
|
||||
- ⚠ → [WARNING]
|
||||
|
||||
Verification: Run syntax checks after each fix
|
||||
Rollback: If verification fails
|
||||
Report: Generate FIXES_APPLIED.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad Agent Prompt:**
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Task: Fix the code
|
||||
```
|
||||
(Too vague - agent won't know what to fix or how)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Git Workflow Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Always create baseline commit BEFORE running fixer agent:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# BEFORE launching agent
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "[Baseline] Pre-fixer checkpoint"
|
||||
|
||||
# THEN launch agent
|
||||
# Agent makes changes
|
||||
|
||||
# AFTER agent completes
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "[Fix] Agent applied fixes"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:**
|
||||
- Separates "what was there" from "what changed"
|
||||
- Easy to revert if needed: `git reset --hard HEAD~1`
|
||||
- Clean history showing before/after
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Verification Steps
|
||||
|
||||
**After Auto-Fixes, Always:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Review the report:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat FIXES_APPLIED.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Check git diff:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git diff --stat
|
||||
git diff --color | less
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Run test suite:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pytest # Python
|
||||
bash -n scripts/*.sh # Shell scripts
|
||||
# Or whatever tests your project uses
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Spot-check critical files:**
|
||||
- Review changes to entry points (main.py, etc.)
|
||||
- Review changes to security-sensitive code (auth, crypto)
|
||||
- Review changes to configuration files
|
||||

|
||||
## Agent Configuration Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Review Agent Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** Use general-purpose agent with specific prompt
|
||||
|
||||
**Prompt Template:**
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
You are a code reviewer agent. Review ALL code files against coding guidelines.
|
||||
|
||||
**Required Reading:**
|
||||
1. .claude/CODING_GUIDELINES.md
|
||||
|
||||
**Scan for:**
|
||||
1. Emoji violations (HIGH priority)
|
||||
2. Hardcoded credentials (HIGH priority)
|
||||
3. Naming convention violations (MEDIUM priority)
|
||||
4. Missing documentation (LOW priority)
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:**
|
||||
Generate report with:
|
||||
- Violation count by type
|
||||
- File locations with line numbers
|
||||
- Priority levels
|
||||
- Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
**Constraints:**
|
||||
- READ ONLY - do not modify files
|
||||
- Generate comprehensive report
|
||||
- Categorize by priority
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Code-Fixer Agent Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `.claude/agents/code-fixer.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Sections:**
|
||||
- Mission Statement
|
||||
- Authority & Permissions
|
||||
- Scanning Patterns
|
||||
- Fix Workflow (Backup → Fix → Verify → Rollback)
|
||||
- Verification Phase
|
||||
- Reporting Phase
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical Features:**
|
||||
- Automatic syntax verification after each fix
|
||||
- Rollback on verification failure
|
||||
- Comprehensive change logging
|
||||
- Git-ready state on completion
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Track these metrics to measure workflow effectiveness:
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix Success Rate
|
||||
```
|
||||
Success Rate = (Successful Fixes / Total Fixes Attempted) × 100%
|
||||
Target: >95%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Time to Fix
|
||||
```
|
||||
Average Time = Total Time / Number of Violations Fixed
|
||||
Target: <5 seconds per violation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Pass Rate
|
||||
```
|
||||
Verification Rate = (Files Passing Verification / Files Modified) × 100%
|
||||
Target: 100%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Intervention Required
|
||||
```
|
||||
Manual Rate = (Violations Requiring Manual Fix / Total Violations) × 100%
|
||||
Target: <10%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Example Session Logs
|
||||
|
||||
### Session 1: Emoji Removal (2026-01-17)
|
||||
|
||||
**Task:** Remove all emoji violations from code files
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow:** Quick Fix (Workflow B)
|
||||
|
||||
**Results:**
|
||||
- Violations found: 38+
|
||||
- Files modified: 20
|
||||
- Auto-fix success rate: 100% (38/38)
|
||||
- Verification pass rate: 100% (20/20)
|
||||
- Manual fixes needed: 0
|
||||
- Time to fix: ~3 minutes
|
||||
- Commits: 2 (baseline + fixes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Outcome:** SUCCESS - All violations fixed, zero errors introduced
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Learnings:**
|
||||
1. Pre-authorization prompt still required (one-time per session)
|
||||
2. Syntax verification caught potential issues before commit
|
||||
3. FIXES_APPLIED.md report essential for reviewing changes
|
||||
4. Git baseline commit critical for safe rollback
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Gets Stuck or Fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Agent reports errors or doesn't complete
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Check agent prompt clarity - is the task well-defined?
|
||||
2. Verify file paths exist - agent can't fix non-existent files
|
||||
3. Check permissions - agent needs write access to files
|
||||
4. Review error messages - may indicate syntax issues in files
|
||||
5. Try smaller scope - fix one file type at a time
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Failures
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Agent reports syntax verification failed
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Check FIXES_APPLIED.md for which files failed
|
||||
2. Review git diff for those specific files
|
||||
3. Manually inspect the changes
|
||||
4. Agent should have rolled back failed changes
|
||||
5. May need manual fix for complex cases
|
||||
|
||||
### Too Many False Positives
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Agent flags violations that aren't actually violations
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Update coding guidelines to clarify rules
|
||||
2. Update agent scanning patterns to be more specific
|
||||
3. Add exclusion patterns for false positive cases
|
||||
4. Use review agent first to verify violations before fixing
|
||||
|
||||
### Changes Break Tests
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Test suite fails after agent applies fixes
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
1. Rollback: `git reset --hard HEAD~1`
|
||||
2. Review FIXES_APPLIED.md to identify problematic changes
|
||||
3. Re-run agent with narrower scope (exclude failing files)
|
||||
4. Fix remaining files manually with test-driven approach
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
### Planned Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pre-Authorization Parameter**
|
||||
- Add `auto_approve_edits: true` to Task tool
|
||||
- Eliminate permission prompt for trusted agents
|
||||
- Track: Which agents are "trusted" for auto-approval
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Continuous Integration**
|
||||
- GitHub Action to run code-review agent on PRs
|
||||
- Auto-comment on PR with violation report
|
||||
- Block merge if high-priority violations found
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Progressive Enhancement**
|
||||
- Agent learns from manual fixes
|
||||
- Updates its own fix patterns
|
||||
- Suggests new rules for coding guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Multi-Project Support**
|
||||
- Template agents for common fix patterns
|
||||
- Shareable agent configurations
|
||||
- Cross-project violation tracking
|
||||
|
||||
### Research Areas
|
||||
|
||||
1. **LLM-Based Syntax Verification**
|
||||
- Replace `python -m py_compile` with LLM verification
|
||||
- Potentially catch logical errors, not just syntax
|
||||
- More nuanced understanding of "valid" code
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Predictive Violation Detection**
|
||||
- Analyze commit patterns to predict future violations
|
||||
- Suggest proactive fixes before code is written
|
||||
- IDE integration for real-time suggestions
|
||||
