SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Inconsistent or superficial code reviews can allow bugs, security vulnerabilities, and technical debt to accumulate, leading to costly issues down the line. This Skill provides a structured framework for thorough and effective code reviews, saving time and improving overall code health.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 4-Level Severity Classification: Categorizes issues (Critical, High, Medium, Low) for clear prioritization, ensuring the most important problems are addressed first.
  • Comprehensive Review Checklist: Covers correctness, security (OWASP Top 10), TypeScript quality, testing, performance, code quality, and architecture compliance, leaving no stone unturned.
  • Structured Review Process & Templates: Guides through pre-review, security review, code review, and feedback writing with ready-to-use templates, making the process efficient and consistent.
  • Use Case: When performing a code review for a new feature, activate this Skill. It will guide you to systematically check for security vulnerabilities using the OWASP Top 10 checklist, ensure TypeScript strictness, and verify test quality, enabling you to provide actionable feedback with clear severity levels.

Quick Start

I am reviewing a pull request for a new API endpoint. Guide me through the security review process and provide a template for critical issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I establish consistent code review criteria across my team?

Code review standards provide a structured 4-level severity framework and comprehensive checklist covering correctness, security, TypeScript quality, testing, performance, and architecture. Define criteria upfront using these categories so all reviewers apply consistent judgment across pull requests.

What should I check for when reviewing code for security vulnerabilities?

Security review should systematically check against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities as part of a broader code review process. This Skill includes a dedicated security checklist to identify common attack vectors, injection flaws, and authentication weaknesses before code merges.

How do I prioritize issues found during code review?

Use a 4-level severity classification—Critical, High, Medium, Low—to categorize issues by impact and urgency. This framework ensures the most important problems are addressed first and feedback is actionable rather than overwhelming.

Can I use code review standards with TypeScript projects?

Yes. This Skill includes TypeScript-specific quality checks as part of its comprehensive review checklist, covering type strictness, null safety, and language-specific best practices alongside general code quality criteria.

What's included in a structured code review process?

A structured process covers pre-review preparation, security review, core code review, and feedback writing. Ready-to-use templates guide each stage, making reviews efficient, consistent, and thorough across your team.

How do I ensure adequate test coverage during code review?

Testing criteria within the review checklist verify that new features include appropriate unit, integration, or end-to-end tests with sufficient coverage. This prevents untested code from entering production and reduces downstream bugs.
