Code Review Excellence

Transform code reviews from gatekeeping to knowledge sharing through constructive feedback, systematic analysis, and collaborative improvement.

Use this skill when

  • Reviewing pull requests and code changes
  • Establishing code review standards
  • Mentoring developers through review feedback
  • Auditing for correctness, security, or performance

Do not use this skill when

  • There are no code changes to review
  • The task is a design-only discussion without code
  • You need to implement fixes instead of reviewing

Instructions

  • Read context, requirements, and test signals first.
  • Review for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.
  • Provide actionable feedback with severity and rationale.
  • Ask clarifying questions when intent is unclear.
  • If detailed checklists are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Output Format

  • High-level summary of findings
  • Issues grouped by severity (blocking, important, minor)
  • Suggestions and questions
  • Test and coverage notes

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed review patterns and templates.
