Workflows

Review and request changes

Review sessions help you inspect modified files and turn review comments into a structured implementation handoff prompt.

How review sessions work

  • Start a review session from the modified files panel when you want focused review context.
  • Review sessions cannot be created from subagent sessions.
  • A review session cannot be used to spawn another review session.
  • For git-worktree parents, review sessions track parent linkage differently than local-session reviews.

Request changes flow

  • Add comments in review, then use Request changes.
  • The app creates a new implementation session in the same project.
  • Comments are grouped by file and line range into a prefilled structured prompt.
  • Modified file paths are appended for extra implementation context.
  • The prompt is prefilled, not auto-sent, so you can edit before execution.

When this workflow is best

  • Use for larger review rounds where comment structure matters.
  • Use when multiple file-level comments need a single implementation pass.
  • Use when you want a clean transition from review intent to build execution.

Failure cases to expect

  • If no comments exist, Request changes will not create a handoff prompt.
  • If the source review session is missing/invalid, the flow aborts safely.
  • If session creation fails, no prompt handoff is generated.
