What does a code review checklist include, and how are findings prioritized?▼

The code review checklist covers Code Organisation & Structure, Functional Programming, Error Handling, Performance, Security, Test Coverage, Date/Time Handling, and Bug Discovery. Each finding is prioritized as CRITICAL (must fix), WARNING (should address), or SUGGESTION (nice to have), guiding remediation in order of impact.

Can I run code reviews on entire directories or just individual files?▼

Yes. This Skill applies to file paths, Git diffs, PR references, and whole directories, letting you assess code quality across pull requests, branches, or entire repositories with consistent severity-based findings.

How does this help improve code quality without manual review overhead?▼

By automating defect detection, security risk assessment, and performance analysis, this Skill reduces manual review time while ensuring consistent application of best practices. It enables faster PR approvals and more robust software by catching issues early.

Does this Skill detect common bug patterns in new or modified code?▼

Yes. The Skill can integrate bug detection tools like bugmagnet on new or modified files to proactively identify common bug patterns alongside quality assessments, strengthening defect discovery.

What's the best way to use code reviews in a CI/CD workflow?▼

Run this Skill on pull requests before submission to receive expert feedback on potential issues, test coverage gaps, and security risks. This shifts quality gates left, enabling faster approvals while maintaining high standards.
