Socratic Review

Instead of pointing out what's wrong with your code, this asks you questions until you find the issues yourself. You get 3-5 questions for quick reviews, 7-10 for standard, up to 20 for deep dives across design choices, edge cases, and failure modes. It's genuinely useful for complex code where articulating your reasoning matters more than fast fixes, or when you're mentoring someone. The dialogue format means it won't work in CI unless you use non-interactive mode, which analyzes the code and outputs structured JSON instead of waiting for responses. If you stop answering questions in interactive mode, it exits rather than pretending to continue.
