Code review automation for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Swift, Kotlin, C#, .NET, Java, C, C++, Rust, Ruby, PHP, and Dart/Flutter. Analyzes PRs for complexity and risk, checks code quality for SOLID violations and code smells, generates review reports. Use when reviewing pull requests, analyzing code quality, identifying issues, generating review checklists.

Loading order for every review

  1. This file (SKILL.md) — tools and thresholds
  2. rules/universal.md — always, for every language
  3. The matching languages/*.md — one file based on the extension table below

That is always exactly 2 additional files, regardless of scope.

Extension(s)Load
.pylanguages/python.md
.ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .mjslanguages/typescript.md
.golanguages/go.md
.swiftlanguages/swift.md
.kt, .ktslanguages/kotlin.md
.cs, .csx, .razor, .cshtmllanguages/csharp.md
.javalanguages/java.md
.c, .hlanguages/c.md
.cpp, .cc, .cxx, .hpp, .hh, .hxxlanguages/cpp.md
.rslanguages/rust.md
.rb, .rake, .gemspec, .rulanguages/ruby.md
.php, .phtmllanguages/php.md
.dartlanguages/dart.md

Tools

PR Analyzer

Analyzes git diff between branches to assess review complexity and identify risks.

# Analyze current branch against main
python scripts/pr_analyzer.py /path/to/repo

# Compare specific branches
python scripts/pr_analyzer.py . --base main --head feature-branch

# JSON output for integration
python scripts/pr_analyzer.py /path/to/repo --json

What it detects (universal — see also language file for language-specific signals):

  • Hardcoded secrets (passwords, API keys, tokens, connection strings)
  • SQL / query injection patterns
  • Debug statements left in production code
  • Lint / analyzer suppression annotations
  • TODO/FIXME comments

Language-specific detections are defined in each languages/*.md file.

Output includes:

  • Complexity score (1-10)
  • Risk categorization (critical, high, medium, low)
  • File prioritization for review order
  • Commit message validation

Code Quality Checker

Analyzes source code for structural issues, code smells, and SOLID violations.

# Analyze a directory
python scripts/code_quality_checker.py /path/to/code

# Analyze specific language
# Valid values: python, typescript, javascript, go, swift, kotlin, csharp, java, c, cpp, rust, ruby, php, dart
python scripts/code_quality_checker.py . --language java

# JSON output
python scripts/code_quality_checker.py /path/to/code --json

Universal thresholds:

IssueThreshold
Long function>50 lines
Large file>500 lines
God class>20 methods
Too many params>5
Deep nesting>4 levels
High complexity>10 branches

Language-specific checks are defined in each languages/*.md file.


Review Report Generator

Combines PR analysis and code quality findings into structured review reports.

# Generate report for current repo
python scripts/review_report_generator.py /path/to/repo

# Markdown output
python scripts/review_report_generator.py . --format markdown --output review.md

# Use pre-computed analyses
python scripts/review_report_generator.py . \
  --pr-analysis pr_results.json \
  --quality-analysis quality_results.json

Adding a New Language

Reviewer guidance (required):

  1. Create languages/<name>.md using any existing language file as a template — it must have sections: PR Analyzer Signals, Code Quality Checks, Security, Async, Resource Management, Exception Handling, Performance, Idioms.
  2. Add the extension row to the dispatch table above.

That is all the agent-driven review needs.

Deterministic analyzer support (optional, recommended): the bundled scripts only flag a language they explicitly know. To make code_quality_checker.py score the new language:

  1. Add the extensions to LANGUAGE_EXTENSIONS in scripts/code_quality_checker.py (this also adds the --language choice).
  2. Add function / class / method regex entries for the language in the same file; otherwise it falls back to the Python patterns.
  3. Optionally add a check_<name>_specific_smells(...) detector (see the C#, Java, and C ones) and call it from analyze_file.
  4. Add assets/sample_<name>_smells.<ext> + _clean fixtures and commit the expected --json output under expected_outputs/ as a regression guard.

Regression Fixtures

Labelled fixtures live in assets/ with their committed --json output in expected_outputs/ (C#, Java, and C). Drift from the committed JSON signals a behaviour change in the analyzer:

python scripts/code_quality_checker.py assets/sample_java_smells.java --json \
  | diff - expected_outputs/sample_java_smells_quality.json

SKILL0

Adversarial Reviewer

Adversarial code review that breaks the self-review monoculture. Use when you want a genuinely critical review of recent changes, before merging a PR, or when you suspect Claude is being too agreeable about code quality. Forces perspective shifts through hostile reviewer personas that catch blind spots the author's mental model shares with the reviewer.

Coverage

Analyze test coverage gaps. Use when user says "test coverage", "what's not tested", "coverage gaps", "missing tests", "coverage report", or "what needs testing".

API Design Reviewer

Comprehensive REST API design review with automated linting, breaking-change detection, and design scorecards. Catches inconsistent conventions, missing versioning, and design smells before APIs ship. Use when reviewing a PR that adds or changes API endpoints, auditing an existing API for v2 migration, or establishing API standards for a team.
