What problem does it solve?
You are about to merge solo-authored changes without a second pair of eyes and need a systematic review that catches production risks.
Who is it for?
Indie devs shipping fast with agents who want a formal review ritual on diffs and PRs.
Skip if: Non-code tasks, greenfield architecture-only discussions with no diff, or when you need automated CI policy enforcement instead of qualitative review.
When should I use this skill?
Working on code reviewer tasks or workflows, or needing best practices and checklists for code review.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You receive prioritized review findings, validation steps, and actionable fixes aligned with modern static and AI-assisted analysis practices.
- Structured review findings
- Actionable remediation steps
- Verification checklist for the change
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Ship because the skill’s stated workflow is production-grade review immediately before integration. Review subphase is the natural home for diff analysis, review checklists, and merge gate guidance.
Where it fits
Review a feature branch diff for regressions and security smells before merge to main.
Stress-test auth and input handling changes against review rules focused on vulnerabilities.
Self-review API handler changes prior to opening a PR.
Assess a hotfix patch for incident risk before emergency deploy.
How it compares
Skill-guided human-style review—not a drop-in replacement for Trag, Bito, or hosted SAST dashboards.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is code-reviewer for?
Solo and indie builders using AI coding agents who still own merge decisions and want consistent review depth on their own PRs.
When should I use code-reviewer?
In Ship during PR review, in Build before opening a PR for a self-pass, and whenever you need checklist-driven quality and security assessment on a codebase change.
Is code-reviewer safe to install?
It is guidance-only unless your agent loads external playbooks; check the Security Audits panel on this page for community-source risk.
