# 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.
