How to Review a Work Package

Use this guide to review a completed work package and update its lane.

Prerequisites

• The WP is in lane: "for_review"
• You are in the WP worktree (or the feature worktree containing the implementation)

The Command

In your agent:

/spec-kitty.review

You can also specify a WP ID:

/spec-kitty.review WP01

Review Process

The review command:

• Picks the next WP in for_review (or the one you specify)
• Moves it to lane: "doing" for review
• Shows the full prompt and the exact commands for passing or requesting changes

Providing Feedback

If changes are required:

1. Add feedback in the Review Feedback section of the WP file.
2. Move the WP back to planned so the implementer can pick it up again.

In your terminal:

spec-kitty agent tasks move-task WP01 --to planned --note "Changes requested: <summary>"

Passing Review

When everything looks good, move the WP to done.

In your terminal:

spec-kitty agent tasks move-task WP01 --to done --note "Approved"

Troubleshooting

• No WPs found: Confirm at least one WP is in for_review.
• Wrong workspace: Open the WP worktree that contains the implementation.
• Need more context: Check the spec and plan for the feature before completing review.
