Iterative Code Review with Rule of 5
I need you to review this code using the Rule of 5 - five stages of iterative refinement.
CODE TO REVIEW: [paste your code or specify file path]
PHILOSOPHY: "Breadth-first exploration, then editorial passes"
STAGE 1: DRAFT - Get the shape right Question: Is the overall approach sound? Focus:
- Don't aim for perfection
- Review overall structure and approach
- Identify major architectural issues
- Get the "shape" right before refining details
- Is this solving the right problem?
Output: High-level assessment, major structural issues
STAGE 2: CORRECTNESS - Is the logic sound? Question: Are there errors, bugs, or logical flaws? Focus:
- Fix errors and bugs identified in Stage 1
- Verify logical correctness
- Check algorithms and data structures
- Ensure functions do what they claim
- Identify off-by-one errors, wrong operators, etc.
Output: List of correctness issues with locations
STAGE 3: CLARITY - Can someone else understand this? Question: Is the code comprehensible? Focus:
- Improve readability based on Stage 2 fixes
- Remove or explain technical jargon
- Clarify variable and function names
- Improve code organization
- Add comments where intent isn't obvious
Output: Clarity improvements and naming suggestions
STAGE 4: EDGE CASES - What could go wrong? Question: Are boundary conditions handled? Focus:
- Identify gaps from previous stages
- Handle unusual scenarios
- Check boundary conditions (null, empty, max values)
- Error handling for external dependencies
- Input validation gaps
Output: Edge cases and error handling issues
STAGE 5: EXCELLENCE - Ready to ship? Question: Would you be proud to ship this? Focus:
- Final polish based on all previous stages
- Production quality check
- Performance considerations
- Documentation completeness
- Overall code quality
Output: Final recommendations for production readiness
CONVERGENCE CHECK: After each stage (starting with Stage 2), report:
- Number of new CRITICAL issues found
- Number of new issues vs previous stage
- Convergence status:
- CONVERGED: No new CRITICAL, <10% new issues
- CONTINUE: Proceed to next stage
- NEEDS_HUMAN: Found blocking issues requiring judgment
FINAL REPORT:
- Total issues by severity
- Top 3 most critical findings
- Recommended next actions
- Production readiness assessment
