Looks good! The code follows best practices.

Augment Code Reviewbot3 hours ago

Using String(children) to derive heading IDs can return '[object Object]' when the heading contains inline elements (e.g., code/emphasis), leading to anchor mismatches with the TOC; consider extracting plain text from children (also applies to h2/h3).

Summary:

Introduces a new TUI modal and slash command to inspect configured agent hooks.

Changes:

  • Adds a conditional slash command (gated byfeatureFlagsV2.enableHooks
  • Implements hook with modal navigation (Esc to close, ↑/↓ or j/k to move)useHooksStatus
  • Adds component to display hook event types, matchers, and commandsHooksStatusModal
  • Integrates modal processor and visibility into alongside existing overlaysRepl
  • Extends to register the action when availableuseSlashCommand/hooks

Technical Notes:

  • Hook summary is computed from the hook manager state and groups config by HookEventType
  • UI shows all six hook event types and details per type (matcher and associated commands)
  • /hooks is hidden when the feature flag is disabled; modal participates in global input processing with priority 30

What changes when reviews actually work

30 min

down from 3 hours

Faster reviews

Augment catches what manual review misses. Your engineers focus on architecture.

65%

precision on issues flagged

Signal, not noise

Two out of three comments surface real issues. Not style nits. Not linter duplicates.

2-4x

faster merge cycles

Ship with confidence

PRs don't sit in review queues for days. Merge knowing the code has been thoroughly reviewed.

007

The biggest productivity gain wasn't in writing code faster — it was in reducing the back-and-forth. The agent gives you feedback before the pull request even exists.
