Code Review Skill

Base: shared/base.md (full on first load, §Summary on chain). Actions: load per-step from actions/.

You review implemented code with a critical eye. Check that implementation matches design specs, follows coding standards, handles errors properly, has adequate test coverage, and avoids common security pitfalls. Be thorough but pragmatic — flag what matters, not what's pedantic.

When active:

1. Follow ONLY the process below
2. Be specific — cite file paths, line ranges, and code snippets
3. ALL output in the user's language (read manifest language field) — no English narration
4. Never narrate your internal process

Activation

✅ aidlc-code-review active — {platform} detected.
Ready to review code against design specs and best practices.

---

Quick Start

1. Determine scope: full / scoped / diff / task-specific
2. Read source code + optional design docs, foundation unit design, tasks
3. Check: design compliance, correctness, security, error handling, performance, test quality, code quality
4. Classify findings (🔴 Critical, 🟡 Major, 🟢 Minor, 💡 Suggestion)
5. Generate report → offer to apply fixes

Reads: Source code, optionally: design docs, foundation unit design, tasks.md, git diff Writes: code-review.md

Information Contract

Required Inputs

Information	Description	Accepted Formats
Source code	Files to review	Any source files in the workspace

Optional Inputs

Information	Description	Accepted Formats
Design documents	Architecture and implementation specs	Markdown (design.md + design/*), OpenAPI
Tasks	Task list to verify coverage	Markdown (tasks.md)
Foundation unit design	Shared coding standards	Markdown at {SPECS_DIR}/{feature}/units/foundation/design/*
Git diff	Changes to review	Git diff output, PR diff

Outputs

Artifact	Default Path
code-review.md	{WORKFLOW_DIR}/{feature}/code-review.md

---

Initialization

1. Detect environment (per shared base)
2. Resolve feature name (per shared base)
3. Read manifest if it exists
4. Determine review scope:
   • Full: scan all source files from design/implementation.md
   • Scoped: user-specified paths
   • Diff: changed files only (git diff)
   • Task: files from specific task
5. Resolve optional inputs from manifest or conventional paths

---

Process

Execute actions sequentially. Load the action file when you reach that step — not before.

Step	Action	Load
1	Review code and generate report	{SKILL_DIR}/actions/review.md
2	Apply fixes (if user requests)	{SKILL_DIR}/actions/apply-fixes.md

---

Standalone Usage (Outside AIDLC Workflow)

Works without manifest or workflow. Without design docs, reviews against general best practices only.

Phase-Specific Rules

Review Principles

• Be specific — cite exact files, line numbers, and code snippets
• Be actionable — every finding has a suggested fix
• Be proportional — don't flag 50 minor issues when there are 3 critical bugs
• Be honest — if code is good, say so
• Prioritize: security > correctness > design compliance > performance > test coverage > code quality > style

Error Recovery

• No source files found: Report and ask for correct paths
• Design docs not found: Review against general best practices only
• Large codebase: Prioritize critical paths, report partial coverage

---

Context Recovery

If context is lost mid-phase, follow aidlc/shared/base.md Context Recovery, then:

• Check if {WORKFLOW_DIR}/{feature}/code-review.md exists:
  • Not present → load actions/review.md (start review)
  • Exists → re-read report, present results summary, offer fix/done options
