Slack's Code Review Quality Framework
Staff Software Engineer @ Slack
About this template
A guide by Roojuta Lalani, Staff SWE at Slack, on optimizing the peer review process. It outlines the criteria for crafting the perfect Pull Request (crisp, shippable, and context-rich) and details how to use automation and emoji-based status tracking to streamline the review lifecycle.
"Great code reviews are achieved by dismantling engineering silos and balancing three specific quality factors—the Pull Request, the Reviewer, and the Reviewee—supported by automated communication workflows (e.g., Slack bots) to ensure visibility and prevent approvals from getting lost in emails."
