Code Review Excellence

This turns code reviews into teaching moments instead of gatekeeping rituals. It evaluates pull requests across correctness, security, performance, and maintainability, then organizes feedback by severity with clear rationale behind each point. The approach is conversational: it asks questions when intent isn't obvious and includes a playbook for detailed review patterns. Use it when you want structured, actionable feedback on code changes or when establishing review standards across a team. The real value is in how it frames critique as collaboration, which matters when you're trying to build skills through reviews instead of just catching bugs.

Code Review Excellence

Review the actual base/head diff and relevant surrounding behavior. Separate reproducible defects from questions and optional suggestions.

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

Identify the exact base/head, requested review scope, requirements and available test evidence 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.
