code-reviewing
Review code for quality, security, and maintainability. Use after code changes are completed and ready for review.
Best use case
code-reviewing is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Review code for quality, security, and maintainability. Use after code changes are completed and ready for review.
Teams using code-reviewing should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Code Review Review code for quality, security, and maintainability. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill: - After code changes are completed and ready for review - Before staging changes for commit - As a proactive quality check during development ## Context When invoked, examine: - Current git status: `git status` - Current git diff (staged and unstaged changes): `git diff --no-ext-diff HEAD` - Current branch: `git branch --show-current` - Recent commits: `git log --oneline -40` ## Review Checklist Examine all modified files and check: - **NO DUPLICATED CODE!** - Extract common logic into reusable functions - **Functions 30 lines or shorter** - Break down complex functions - **Well-named functions and variables** - Clear, descriptive names - **Simple and readable code** - Avoid unnecessary complexity - **Proper error handling** - Handle edge cases and failures gracefully - **No exposed secrets or API keys** - Use environment variables or config - **Input validation implemented** - Validate all external inputs - **Good test coverage** - Tests for critical paths - **Performance considerations** - No obvious O(n²) or worse patterns ## Feedback Organization Provide feedback organized by priority: 1. **Critical issues (MUST FIX)**: Security vulnerabilities, bugs, broken functionality 2. **Warnings (SHOULD FIX)**: Code quality, maintainability concerns 3. **Suggestions (CONSIDER)**: Improvements that would be nice to have For each issue, include: - Specific location (file, line number) - Description of the problem - Example of how to fix it ## Output Provide a structured review: ``` ## Critical Issues - [File:line] Description of issue - How to fix: ... ## Warnings - [File:line] Description of concern - Suggestion: ... ## Suggestions - [File:line] Nice-to-have improvement ``` If no issues found: "Code review passed. No issues identified."
