# Review Code with Consistent Standards

Code reviews often vary by reviewer, which causes missed defects and unclear feedback. This skill gives Claude, Codex, and Claude Code a structured review framework with severity levels, checklists, and feedback templates.

## Install

## Capabilities

- Defines critical, high, medium, and low severity levels for review feedback.
- Provides checklists for correctness, security, TypeScript quality, testing, performance, maintainability, and architecture.
- Includes review process steps for pre-review, security review, code review, feedback, and verdict selection.
- Supplies reusable feedback templates for security, TypeScript, performance, and quality issues.
- Links to companion guidance files for deeper security, performance, and maintainability criteria.

## Use Cases

- Review a pull request before merge: Apply a consistent checklist and severity model to identify blocking and non-blocking issues.
- Standardize team review criteria: Use shared expectations for security, tests, performance, and maintainability across reviewers.
- Improve review feedback quality: Write actionable comments with risk, impact, fix guidance, and clear merge verdicts.

## Prompt Templates

### Basic Pull Request Review

```
Review this pull request using the code-review-standards framework. Focus on correctness, tests, security basics, and clear severity labels.
```

### Security-Focused Review

```
Review these changes with extra attention to authentication, authorization, input validation, sensitive data exposure, and injection risks.
```

### Performance and Maintainability Review

```
Review this change for performance, database query patterns, React rendering behavior, function complexity, duplication, and error handling.
```

### Release Gate Review

```
Perform a full release gate review. Classify findings by severity, list required fixes, identify residual risks, and give an approve or request changes verdict.
```

## Limitations

- It does not run tests, builds, scanners, or linters by itself.
- It depends on available project files and reviewer-provided context.
- Some linked companion skills may not be installed in every environment.
- It provides review guidance, not a guarantee that every defect is found.

## Best Practices

- Provide the pull request goal, changed files, and test results before asking for review.
- Ask for severity-labeled findings so blocking issues are easy to separate from suggestions.
- Use the templates to request specific fixes with location, risk, impact, and suggested resolution.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use the skill as a replacement for CI, tests, static analysis, or human ownership.
- Do not ask for broad approval without sharing the changed code and acceptance criteria.
- Do not treat low-severity style suggestions as blockers unless the team standard requires it.

## Security Audit

- - Safe to publish: true
- - Audited at: 2026-06-28T13:31:12.274\+00:00
- - Summary: Static analysis found many dangerous tokens, but review confirmed they appear in Markdown checklists, links, and illustrative TypeScript snippets. No executable scripts, package hooks, network calls, credential collection, or prompt injection attempts were found in the reviewed skill files.
