Code Review Skill

Use this skill after implementing changes to validate your work before delivering.

Review Checklist

1. Correctness

• Changes solve the original issue/task
• No unintended side effects on existing functionality
• Edge cases are handled
• Error handling is appropriate (not excessive)

2. Code Quality

• Code matches existing style and patterns
• No unnecessary complexity or abstraction
• Variable and function names are clear
• No dead code, commented-out code, or TODOs left behind

3. Tests

• New functionality has test coverage
• Existing tests still pass
• Tests cover both happy path and error cases
• Tests are not brittle (don't test implementation details)

4. Safety

• No hardcoded secrets or credentials
• User input is validated at boundaries
• No SQL injection, XSS, or command injection vectors
• File operations use safe paths

Process

1. Read each modified file end-to-end (not just the diff)
2. Run the test suite: execute("python -m pytest -v")
3. Run linters if available: execute("ruff check .")
4. Run the bundled lint check: execute("python /skills/code-review/lint_check.py .")
5. Check against each item in the review checklist
6. If any issues found, fix them and re-review
7. When everything passes, the review is complete

Helper Scripts

• /skills/code-review/lint_check.py — Scans Python files for missing docstrings, long functions (>50 lines), and bare except: clauses. Run it via execute("python /skills/code-review/lint_check.py [path ...]").
