Test it
Using "code-review-checklist". A small order-processing diff indexes the first order without checking whether the list is empty.
Expected outcome:
- Must fix | Correctness | order.py:87: An empty order list causes IndexError. Check for an empty list before accessing its first item.
- Should fix | Test coverage | order.py:87: Add an empty-order test to cover the failing path.
Using "code-review-checklist". A contributor requests review of a diff containing 650 changed lines.
Expected outcome:
Scope: The diff exceeds approximately 400 changed lines. Split it into smaller, focused changes before review.
Using "code-review-checklist". A reviewer suspects a loop is slow but provides no measurements or evidence of repeated work.
Expected outcome:
Performance: No evidence found to support a performance finding. Do not raise a speculative performance comment.
Security Audit
SafeAll six static findings are false positives: Markdown formatting was mistaken for command execution, and ordinary review prose was mistaken for reconnaissance. No evidence found of prompt injection, credential access, or data exfiltration in SKILL.md. The skill contains review guidance and examples, not executable tooling.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: MediumWhat You Can Build
Check a change before submission
Review a small diff for edge cases, security risks, and missing tests before opening a pull request.
Standardize team review comments
Apply consistent review categories and priorities while keeping feedback tied to specific lines and concrete fixes.
Evaluate unfamiliar contributions
Review community changes for correctness, readability, and test coverage without focusing on formatting preferences.
Try These Prompts
Review this function using the five-axis checklist: [paste function with file name and line numbers]. Cite specific lines and suggest concrete fixes.
Review this diff: [paste diff]. Check scope first, then all five axes. Separate Must fix and Should fix comments. Use at most ten comments.
Review this authentication change: [paste diff and requirements]. Check correctness, injection risks, secrets, logging, and remaining axes. Cite evidence and identify missing edge-case tests.
Review this diff with requirements, tests, and profiling results: [attach context]. Mark each axis pass, fail, or N-A. Prioritize concrete fixes within ten comments.
Best Practices
- Provide the diff, file names, line numbers, and relevant requirements.
- Split changes over approximately 400 lines into focused reviews.
- Require evidence and a concrete fix for each comment, and clarify team merge-blocking rules.
Avoid
- Approve a change without reading the complete diff.
- Spend review comments on formatting preferences instead of substantive defects.
- Report vague problems or performance concerns without code references and evidence.
