Review Delta

Perform a focused, token-efficient code review of only the changed code and its blast radius.

Token optimization: Before starting, call

get_docs_section_tool(section_name="review-delta")

for the optimized workflow. Use ONLY changed nodes + 2-hop neighbors in context.

Steps

1. Ensure the graph is current by calling

   build_or_update_graph_tool()

   (incremental update).

2. Get review context by calling

   get_review_context_tool()

   . This returns:
   • Changed files (auto-detected from git diff)
   • Impacted nodes and files (blast radius)
   • Source code snippets for changed areas
   • Review guidance (test coverage gaps, wide impact warnings, inheritance concerns)

3. Analyze the blast radius by reviewing the

   impacted_nodes

   and

   impacted_files

   in the context. Focus on:
   • Functions whose callers changed (may need signature/behavior verification)
   • Classes with inheritance changes (Liskov substitution concerns)
   • Files with many dependents (high-risk changes)

4. Perform the review using the context. For each changed file:

   • Review the source snippet for correctness, style, and potential bugs
   • Check if impacted callers/dependents need updates
   • Verify test coverage using

     query_graph_tool(pattern="tests_for", target=<function_name>)

   • Flag any untested changed functions

5. Report findings in a structured format:

   • Summary: One-line overview of the changes
   • Risk level: Low / Medium / High (based on blast radius)
   • Issues found: Bugs, style issues, missing tests
   • Blast radius: List of impacted files/functions
   • Recommendations: Actionable suggestions

Advantages Over Full-Repo Review

• Only sends changed + impacted code to the model (5-10x fewer tokens)
• Automatically identifies blast radius without manual file searching
• Provides structural context (who calls what, inheritance chains)
• Flags untested functions automatically
