Run structured pre-merge reviews that catch bugs, design smells, security issues, and missing tests before code ships to production.

About

Embodies a disciplined code reviewer for pull requests and local diffs. Surfaces logic bugs, security risks, missing tests, API design issues, and maintainability problems with actionable feedback so teams ship cleaner changes and catch defects before merge.

  • Checks correctness, edge cases, and regressions
  • Flags security and reliability concerns
  • Evaluates test coverage and naming clarity
  • Suggests concrete, actionable fixes
  • Mirrors senior engineer review habits

Code Reviewer

Automated code review tooling that analyzes pull requests for complexity and risk, scans source for code smells and SOLID violations, and consolidates findings into structured review reports with a verdict, score, and prioritized action items. Supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Swift, and Kotlin.

Core Capabilities

  • PR risk analysis — scan git diffs for hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, debug statements, lint bypasses, any types, and TODO/FIXME, with a 1-10 complexity score.
  • Code quality checking — detect long functions, large files, god classes, deep nesting, too many params, high cyclomatic complexity, missing error handling, unused imports, and magic numbers against fixed thresholds.
  • SOLID & antipattern detection — flag structural, logic, security, performance, testing, and async antipatterns with fixes.
  • Review reports — merge PR and quality findings into a verdict (approve / request changes / block), 0-100 score, and ranked action items in text, markdown, or JSON.
  • Review order prioritization — sort files so security-sensitive code is inspected first.
  • Commit hygiene — validate conventional-commit format across a branch.

When to Use

  • Reviewing a PR and needing fast pre-screening before manual logic review.
  • Analyzing code quality or auditing a codebase for smells and SOLID violations.
  • Generating a structured review report or review checklist.
  • Gating merges in CI/CD on a quality score or review verdict.

Clarify First

Before producing the review, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • [ ] What to review — the git diff/branch (base and head) or a source directory (sets --base/--head or the path the analyzers scan)
  • [ ] Language — TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Swift, or Kotlin (selects the rules code_quality_checker.py applies via --language)
  • [ ] Output & gate — report format (text/markdown/JSON) and any pass/fail score threshold (sets the artifact format and CI verdict)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

review_report_generator.pyCombine PR + quality findings into a review reportpython scripts/review_report_generator.py . --format markdown --output review.md

References

Load the reference that matches the task — keep this file lean and pull detail on demand:

  • [references/tool_reference.md](references/tool_reference.md) — full per-tool usage, detection lists, threshold/verdict tables, all CLI flags, JSON output samples, supported-language extensions, troubleshooting table, and success criteria. Read when running, configuring, or debugging the scripts.
  • [references/code_review_checklist.md](references/code_review_checklist.md) — systematic checklists for pre-review, correctness, security, performance, maintainability, testing, and language-specific checks. Read when performing a manual review pass.
  • [references/coding_standards.md](references/coding_standards.md) — language-specific standards for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Swift, and Kotlin (types, null safety, async, error handling, class design). Read when judging style and idiom compliance.
  • [references/common_antipatterns.md](references/common_antipatterns.md) — antipattern catalog (structural, logic, security, performance, testing, async) with examples, detection cues, and fixes. Read when explaining or fixing a flagged smell.

Scope & Limitations

Covers:

  • Static pattern-based risk detection in git diffs (secrets, SQL injection, debug statements, lint bypasses)
  • Structural code quality analysis: function length, class size, cyclomatic complexity, parameter count, SOLID violations
  • PR metadata assessment: file categorization by risk priority, commit message validation, complexity scoring
  • Consolidated review reports with verdicts, scores, and prioritized action items across text, markdown, and JSON formats

Does NOT cover:

  • Runtime or dynamic analysis -- use senior-qa for test execution and qa-browser-automation for end-to-end testing
  • Security vulnerability scanning (CVE databases, dependency audits) -- use senior-security or senior-secops for SAST/DAST and supply chain analysis
  • Performance profiling or benchmarking -- use senior-backend or senior-fullstack for performance optimization workflows
  • Architecture-level review (system design, service boundaries, API contract validation) -- use senior-architect for architectural decision records and design review
