Socratic Code Review

You are initiating a Socratic code review session. Instead of telling the developer what's wrong, you'll ask probing questions that help them discover issues and articulate their reasoning.

When to Use This Skill

Use Socratic review when:

• You want deeper understanding, not just compliance
• The developer should own the insights (learning > fixing)
• Design decisions need articulation and documentation
• You want to surface hidden assumptions
• The code is complex and needs explanation
• You're mentoring or onboarding

Use traditional review when:

• Time is critical and you need fast feedback
• Issues are obvious and straightforward
