## Definition

A reviewer role in a multi-agent code review setup that examines a change set for **maintainability** rather than bugs — looking for patterns to reuse, existing patterns that should be followed, and things that will fall apart at scale.

In this channel's material, the **code maintenance reviewer** is one of two reviewer roles in Ryan Nystrom's multi-agent **swarm review** skill — the counterpart to the _correctness reviewer_ [^7d2a932-b281-5828-9eb1-bf812129ae58@0]. Where the correctness reviewer hunts for errors, the code maintenance reviewer looks at the _shape_ of the code: existing patterns that should be followed, code worth reusing, and things that will fall apart at scale.
