What problem does it solve?
Code review quality varies between reviewers and teams, leading to missed security issues, performance regressions, and brittle or untested changes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Systematic multi-dimension checklist: Reviews security, performance, correctness, maintainability, testing, accessibility, and documentation in a structured order to reduce random scanning.
- Security-first hardening guidance: Covers common high-impact risks such as SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, auth/authz issues, secrets handling, and safe file upload practices.
- Defined review process and severity labeling: Uses a three-pass approach (high-level structure, line-by-line detail, edge-case hardening) plus Critical/Major/Minor/Nitpick severity to make decisions consistent.
- Actionable feedback patterns: Emphasizes specificity, explaining risk, suggesting concrete fixes, and separating blocking from non-blocking feedback.
Quick Start
Use this skill to review a pull request by running through the First Pass, Second Pass, and Third Pass checklists and tagging each comment with an appropriate severity level.
