Code Review Skill

Comprehensive knowledge for reviewing code. Use the checklists below and reference detailed guides for specific domains.

Review Process

1. Understand context - What does this code do? What problem does it solve?
2. Check correctness - Does it work? Are there logic errors?
3. Check security - Any vulnerabilities? See security checklist
4. Check performance - Any bottlenecks? See performance patterns
5. Check maintainability - Is it readable? Testable? Well-organized?

Quick Security Checklist

Quick Quality Checklist

• Clear naming (functions, variables, files)
• Single responsibility principle
• Error handling covers failure modes
• No dead code or debug statements
• Tests cover critical paths
• Types are accurate (no any abuse)
