What this skill does
<essentialprinciples> Code Review Philosophy Reviews exist to: 1. Catch bugs before production 2. Share knowledge across the team 3. Maintain consistency in the codebase Reviews do NOT exist to: Show off knowledge Enforce personal style preferences Block progress unnecessarily The 3-Pass Method Pass 1: Understand (don't comment yet) What is this change trying to do? What files are affected? What's the scope? Pass 2: Correctness Are there bugs? Are edge cases handled? Are there security issues? Pass 3: Improvements (max 5 comments) Is it readable? Is it maintainable? Are there better patterns? Review Checklist Must Check [ ] Tests pass [ ] No obvious bugs [ ] Edge cases handled [ ] No security vulnerabilities [ ] No secrets in code Should Check [ ] Code is readable [ ] Functions < 50 lines [ ] Clear naming [ ] Helpful error messages Nice to Check [ ] Performance considerations [ ] Documentation updated [ ] Consistent patterns Feedback Style DO: Ask questions: "What happens if X is null?" Be specific: "Line 42: Consider guard clause" Acknowledge good work: "Nice refactor" Limit comments: Max 5 per review DON'T: Dictate: "You must do X" Be vague: "This could be better" Nitpick style: "I prefer single quotes" </essentialprinciples> <intake> What would you like me to review? 1. Paste code/diff - I'll review inline 2. Reference file - Use @filename 3. Describe PR - I'll ask questions Context: Bug fix / New feature / Refactor / Performance Specific concerns? (Security, breaking changes, etc.) </intake>
