# Code Review
## Input
`$ARGUMENTS` names the diff — a PR number or URL, a branch, a commit range,
or a path. With no argument, review the working tree's diff against the base
branch. Resolve it once and pass the resolved target to the reviewer; never
ask the user to restate it.
## When Invoked Directly

+ The main session holds the conversation history `code-reviewer.md` forbids, so
it is not a valid reviewer. Do not review inline. Run these in order:

its `## Report Format`. Order matters: a relay cannot hold a shape it has

Supply its installed root, definition, and applicable resource paths for named and body-loaded calls, including the fallback below.
When the named agent is unavailable,
dispatch the built-in read-only `Explore` subagent and write the same
`## Report Format` requirement into its prompt.
3. **Relay.** Print what the reviewer returned. `## Report Format` states
what a relay owes, and what to do with a report that does not match it.
