SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Differential reviews are time-consuming and error-prone; this skill automates and standardizes security-focused analysis of code changes across PRs, commits, and diffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates triage and phase-based analysis of code changes across diffs, PRs, and commits.
  • Adapts analysis depth to codebase size, uses git history for context, calculates blast radius, checks test coverage, and generates comprehensive markdown reports.
  • Automatically detects and prevents security regressions.

Quick Start

Invoke the differential-review workflow on the current change to produce a formal audit report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate security-focused code review for a pull request?

You can automate security-focused code review for a pull request by running a differential review that applies phase-based analysis to the diff, estimates blast radius, and generates a markdown audit report.

What is blast radius estimation in a differential code review?

Blast radius estimation in a differential code review calculates the potential impact scope of code changes by analyzing git history and dependencies to prevent security regressions.

Can I use an automated diff review on large codebases?

Yes, automated diff review adapts its analysis depth to codebase size, using git history for baseline context to triage and analyze changes across small to large repositories.

How do I generate a formal markdown report from a git diff?

To generate a formal markdown report from a git diff, execute a differential review workflow that assesses test coverage, performs change analysis, and outputs structured audit findings.

Does automated differential review work with individual git commits?

Yes, automated differential review works with individual git commits, applying the same security-focused triage, blast radius calculation, and test coverage assessment used for PR diffs.

When should I use an automated security review instead of manual code checks?

You should use an automated security review instead of manual code checks when standardizing differential analysis across many PRs to reduce time-consuming human error and prevent security regressions.
