OntoBricks code review
The review steps are canonical in .cursorrules ("When asking for a code
review, do all these tasks (in this order)…"). Read it first; this skill only
sequences the work and adds Claude-Code-specific tooling notes.
Procedure
Create a TodoWrite with one item per .cursorrules review step, in order:
- Rule compliance — walk changed files, flag every violation. Cite the
specific canonical file and section (e.g. "violates
.cursor/05 §Error Handling"). The most common violations are listed at the bottom of this
skill as a quick-reference checklist; the rules themselves live in the
canonical files, not here.
- Duplication —
Grep for similar function names, repeated SQL strings,
recurring try/except patterns. Propose Extract Function/Class/Move Function
per Fowler vocabulary (see src/.coding_rules.md).
- Dead code — propose, do not delete blindly. List candidates with a
one-line rationale.
- Session-data audit — open
src/back/objects/session/DomainSession.py
and any other session storage. For each field output field | used? | derivable? | recommendation.
- Tests —
uv run pytest -q -m "not scenario" (scenarios are opt-in — see .cursor/08-testing-and-deployment). Report PASS/FAIL counts.
- Documentation — Sphinx + README per
.cursor/08-testing-and-deployment §Documentation Rules.
End with a summary block:
Review summary
- Rule violations: <count> (fixed: <count>, plan: <count>)
- Duplication clusters: <count>
- Dead code candidates: <count>
- Session fields removed: <count>
- Tests: <passed>/<total>
- Docs updated: <yes/no>
Quick-reference: the violations I see most often
This is a memory aid for grep-style spotting. Authoritative wording lives in
the canonical files, not here.
- Bare
HTTPException or {'success': False, ...} → .cursor/10
print() or f-string in logger.*(...) → .cursor/10 §Logging- Business logic in routes →
.cursor/05, .cursor/07
- HTTP types in
back/core/ or Request/Response in back/objects/ → .cursor/07
- Inline CSS/JS in templates →
.cursor/05 §Frontend
- Secrets or query results on a domain object →
.cursor/02, .cursor/07 §Domain Security
- Multiple public classes per file, or filename not PascalCase →
.cursor/01, .cursor/07 §Class-First Policy
Don't
- Don't refactor and review in the same pass without explicit approval — propose first.
- Don't paraphrase the rules in your review output — cite the canonical file.
- Don't claim "all good" without running the tests.
