Code Review Skill

A structured approach to code review that balances thoroughness with efficiency.

Core Principles

1. Review the code, not the author — Assume good intent, focus on the work.
2. Be specific and constructive — Every comment should have a clear action.
3. Prioritize by severity — Not all issues are equal.
4. Approve with confidence — Don't approve code you wouldn't want to maintain.

Review Focus Areas

🔴 Critical — Must Fix Before Merge

• Security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, auth bypass, secrets in code)
• Data loss risks (missing validations, unguarded deletions)
• Race conditions and concurrency bugs
• Breaking production failures
