Code Review Skill

A baseline code-review skill that walks a quality/security/performance/maintainability checklist and returns a severity-ranked review report.

Dev & CodingBeginner★ 1,125⑂ 397AI score 7/10Last updated: Jul 23, 2026

What it does

  • Triggers when you ask for a code review, want feedback on your code, mention reviewing changes, or ask about code quality.
  • Works through four checklists: code quality, security, performance, and maintainability.
  • Security pass covers hardcoded secrets, missing input validation, SQL injection, XSS, and auth/authorization gaps.
  • Emits a fixed report: summary → Critical/Major/Minor issues with line numbers → strengths → prioritized recommendations → verdict (Approved / Needs Changes / Request Significant Changes).
  • Restricted to read-only tools (Read, Grep, Glob), so it won't silently edit your code.

Who it's for

  • Developers and leads who want consistent PR review quality across a team
  • Small teams or solo developers with no second reviewer
  • Juniors learning what to look for when reviewing code

Examples

  1. "Review the payment module I just wrote" → severity-ranked issue list with line references.
  2. "Check this API handler for security problems" → focuses on validation, auth checks, and injection risks.
  3. "Go over the files changed on this branch before I merge" → per-file summary and verdict.
