Code Review Checklist Skill

Produces a tailored code review checklist for a specific pull request — scaled to the language, type of change, and risk level. Not a generic template.

Not quite this? Use code-review-guide when you want to carry out the review itself with senior judgement, not just a checklist.

Required Inputs

Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked (assumed, confirm) and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).

• Language and framework (e.g. TypeScript + React / Python + FastAPI / Go)
• Type of change (feature / bug fix / refactor / dependency upgrade / security patch / performance)
• Risk level (low / medium / high / critical)
• PR description (paste the description or link to the PR)
• Code or diff (optional — paste key changed files or a git diff; significantly improves checklist specificity)
• Author context (new starter / experienced / external contributor)
