What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents broken releases and security regressions by turning PR review into a structured, evidence-based assessment of impact, risk, and verification coverage.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Blast radius analysis: identifies direct dependents, service boundary crossings, and shared contract changes to estimate rollout risk.
- Security scanning: checks for common vulnerability patterns such as SQL injection, hardcoded secrets, XSS vectors, auth bypass, dangerous eval/exec, weak hashes, path traversal, and prototype pollution.
- Test coverage delta: compares changed source vs test files and flags missing or removed coverage, especially for auth/payments paths.
- Breaking change detection: reviews endpoint/request/response contract changes, exported TypeScript types, and DB migration rollback safety.
- Performance impact checks: looks for N+1 query patterns, unbounded loops, missing awaits, and dependency bloat.
- Use case: a team reviewing a large PR touching shared auth logic and database schema can quickly produce a reviewer-ready report with MUST/FIX and SHOULD/FIX items before merge.
