Thermo Nuclear Code Quality Review

This is the code review equivalent of calling in an airstrike on your own position. It enforces hard rules like no file should cross 1000 lines in a PR, no spaghetti conditionals bolted onto existing flows, and no "it works" implementations that leave the codebase messier. The real focus is ambitious structural simplification: finding the "code judo" move that makes whole branches, helpers, or layers disappear entirely rather than just shuffling complexity around. Use this when you want someone to rethink the implementation from scratch, not polish what's already there. Fair warning, it will push back hard on working code if a cleaner structure exists.

Thermo-Nuclear Code Quality Review

Use this skill for an unusually strict review focused on implementation quality, maintainability, abstraction quality, and codebase health.

Above all, this skill should push the reviewer to be ambitious about code structure. Do not merely identify local cleanup opportunities. Actively search for "code judo" moves: restructurings that preserve behavior while making the implementation dramatically simpler, smaller, more direct, and more elegant.

Core Prompt

Start from this baseline:

Perform a deep code quality audit of the current branch's changes. Rethink how to structure / implement the changes to meaningfully improve code quality without impacting behavior. Work to improve abstractions, modularity, reduce Spaghetti code, improve succinctness and legibility. Be ambitious, if there is a clear path to improving the implementation that involves restructuring some of the codebase, go for it. Be extremely thorough and rigorous. Measure twice, cut once.
