SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates comprehensive codebase audits by coordinating a panel of specialist reviewers. It yields actionable reports that help you uncover security gaps, performance bottlenecks, architectural concerns, and quality issues before shipping.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch reviewer orchestration: runs multiple reviewers in fixed-size batches to manage resources.
  • Scope flexibility: audits the entire project or a targeted path (e.g., "apps/web").
  • Consolidated reporting: merges findings into a single Markdown report for streamlined remediation.
  • Diverse expertise: engages security, performance, architecture, organization, UI, and data reviewers for holistic coverage.

Quick Start

Run the audit on a chosen scope (for example, /arc:audit apps/api) to generate a unified report of findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a comprehensive codebase audit with multiple specialist reviewers?

To run a codebase audit, execute the audit command on a chosen scope. It coordinates multiple specialist reviewers in batches by default to generate a single consolidated markdown report of security, performance, and architecture findings.

Can I target a specific directory path instead of auditing the entire project?

Yes, codebase audits support scope flexibility by allowing you to target a specific path like apps/web instead of the entire project. This focuses the reviewer orchestration and generates a consolidated report strictly for that directory.

What is the best way to speed up batch processing for a code review?

To speed up batch processing during a code review, use the optional --parallel flag. This executes the panel of specialist reviewers simultaneously rather than in fixed-size batches, yielding the consolidated markdown report faster.

What areas of expertise does a multi-review codebase audit cover?

A multi-review codebase audit covers diverse expertise areas including security, performance, architecture, organization, UI, and data engineering. This holistic coverage uncovers gaps and bottlenecks before shipping your code.

Do I need any external dependencies to perform an architecture review?

No external dependencies are required to perform an architecture review. The audit process relies on a defined internal set of specialist reviewers, such as the architecture-engineer, to analyze the codebase and deliver actionable findings.

Why generate a consolidated markdown report for codebase security review?

Generating a consolidated markdown report for a security review merges findings from all specialist reviewers into a single document. This streamlines remediation by providing a unified view of security gaps and architectural concerns.
