Key capabilities

  • Prioritize code review findings by severity
  • Identify bugs and behavioral regressions
  • Detect data loss, security, and correctness risks
  • Pinpoint missing validation or broken edge cases
  • Check for missing or weak tests for changed behavior

How it works

The skill reviews code by prioritizing findings based on severity, focusing on critical issues like bugs, security risks, and missing validation. It provides file references for each finding.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Code, pull request, or diff to be reviewed
You get back
Ordered list of findings by severity, with file references and open questions

When to use code-review

  • Review pull request
  • Audit code diffs
  • Identify security risks
  • Check for missing tests

About this skill

Code Review

Use this skill when the task is to review code rather than write it.

Review Priorities

  1. Bugs and behavioral regressions
  2. Data loss, security, and correctness risks
  3. Missing validation or broken edge cases
  4. Missing or weak tests for changed behavior
  5. Secondary maintainability concerns

Output Shape

  • Findings first, ordered by severity
  • File references for each finding
  • Open questions or assumptions
  • Short summary only after findings

Non-Goals

  • Do not rewrite the code just because there is a different style preference.
  • Do not bury real risks under a long summary.

Related Guardrails

When not to use it

  • When the task is to write code rather than review it
  • When the goal is to rewrite code based on style preferences
  • When the user wants a long summary that buries risks

Limitations

  • Does not rewrite code based on style preference
  • Does not bury real risks under long summaries
  • Focuses on risk-based severity ordering

How it compares

This skill provides a structured, risk-focused approach to code review, prioritizing critical issues over stylistic preferences and presenting findings clearly, unlike an unstructured or style-focused review.
