SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates inconsistent, low-value code reviews that fail to catch alignment gaps between PR plans and implementation, architectural flaws, and critical technical risks, reducing merged bugs and long-term tech debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan vs Implementation Alignment: Evaluates every item in the PR description against actual code changes to flag missing, partial, or unplanned work.
  • Full Engineering Audit: Assesses architecture, code quality, correctness, performance, security, and test coverage against industry and team standards.
  • Use Case: When you submit a PR for a new payment processing feature, this skill verifies the implementation matches your planned transaction flow, flags missing input validation for edge cases, and suggests specific unit tests for failed payment scenarios.

Quick Start

Use the staff-engineer-review skill to evaluate my latest pull request for the user authentication module against its original plan and provide prioritized, actionable feedback.
