Review Scope (optional): "$ARGUMENTS"

---

Phase 0: Determine Scope & Context

1. Parse arguments to identify requested review aspects and target:

   • help — Display all available scopes and usage, then stop
   • security — Security-focused vulnerability assessment
   • simplify — Code simplification for clarity and maintainability
   • review — General code review for bugs, patterns, CLAUDE.md compliance
   • debug — Systematic debugging of a specific issue
   • types — Type design analysis (encapsulation, invariants, enforcement)
   • errors — Silent failure hunting and error handling audit
   • architect — Architecture analysis and implementation blueprint
   • custom — User-defined review focus; remaining arguments specify the criteria (e.g. custom "check for N+1 queries in src/repositories/")
   • all — Run all applicable reviews (default)
   • A file path, directory, or PR number as target

   If scope is help, print this list and exit without running any review phases.

2. Gather context:

   git status
   git diff --name-only origin/HEAD... 2>/dev/null || git diff --name-only HEAD~1
   git log --oneline -10
   

3. Identify the language(s) in scope and apply language-specific expertise:

   • Python: PEP 8, type hints, dataclasses/pydantic, async patterns, pytest conventions
   • Swift: Protocol-oriented design, value types vs reference types, memory management, Concurrency (async/await)
   • TypeScript: Strict mode, discriminated unions, utility types, ES module patterns
   • Dart: Null safety, freezed/riverpod patterns, Flutter widget lifecycle
   • Rust: Ownership/borrowing, lifetime annotations, Result/Option patterns, unsafe blocks
   • Ruby: Duck typing discipline, Rails conventions, frozen_string_literal, RSpec patterns
   • Java: Generics, checked exceptions, concurrency (java.util.concurrent), Spring/Jakarta conventions, GC tuning awareness
   • C: Memory safety, buffer bounds, pointer arithmetic, undefined behavior, resource cleanup
   • C++: RAII, smart pointers, move semantics, template safety, STL usage

4. If cloud infrastructure code is detected (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, Bicep, ARM templates, Pulumi, serverless configs), apply cloud-specific expertise:

   • GCP: IAM bindings vs policies, service account key management, VPC Service Controls, Cloud Armor, audit logging, org policy constraints, workload identity
   • AWS: IAM least-privilege, S3 bucket policies, security group rules, Lambda concurrency/timeout, VPC design, encryption at rest/in transit, CloudTrail logging, resource tagging
   • Azure: RBAC role assignments, managed identity usage, NSG rules, Key Vault references, diagnostic settings, policy assignments, private endpoints

5. Read any CLAUDE.md files in the project root and affected directories for project-specific conventions.

---

Phase 1: Code Review (Bugs, Logic, Conventions)

Launch parallel sub-agents for independent review perspectives:

Agent 1 — CLAUDE.md Compliance

Audit changes against all applicable CLAUDE.md rules. Verify imports, naming, framework conventions, error handling, logging, testing practices, and platform compatibility.

Agent 2 — Bug Detection (Shallow Scan)

Read file changes and scan for obvious bugs. Focus on:

• Logic errors and incorrect behavior
• Edge cases not handled
• Null/undefined/nil reference issues
• Race conditions or concurrency bugs
• API contract violations
• Incorrect caching (staleness, key bugs, invalid invalidation)
• Resource leaks (file handles, connections, memory)
• Off-by-one errors, integer overflow, unsigned arithmetic issues

Agent 3 — Historical Context

Read git blame and history of modified code. Identify bugs in light of historical context, reverted patterns, and known fragile areas.

Agent 4 — Cross-Reference Prior PRs

Read previous PRs that touched these files. Check for recurring review comments that apply to the current changes.

Agent 5 — Code Comment Compliance

Read inline comments in modified files. Verify changes comply with guidance in comments (TODOs, invariant notes, safety comments).

Confidence Scoring (apply to every finding):

• 0-25: Likely false positive or pre-existing — discard
• 26-50: Minor nitpick not in CLAUDE.md — discard
• 51-75: Valid but low-impact — report only if all scope
• 76-90: Important, requires attention — always report
• 91-100: Critical bug or explicit CLAUDE.md violation — always report

Filter threshold: >= 80 confidence only.

Self-Verification for High-Confidence Code Claims:

Before presenting any finding ≥ 90 confidence that names a specific code location (file:line or function name), the main agent MUST re-trace the claim against the source before showing it to the user:

1. Read the cited file:line range with the Read tool.
2. Execute the logic on paper with realistic inputs.
3. Confirm the claim matches what the code actually does.

If the claim does not survive re-trace, downgrade or drop it. Do NOT pass high-confidence sub-agent findings through to the user verbatim. This rule applies equally to parallel-reviewer aggregation and to single-phase output.

Rationalization counter (re: the self-verify step):

Excuse	Reality
"Three reviews came back — let me synthesize and report"	Synthesis ≠ verification. Each ≥ 90 claim is a sub-agent hypothesis, not a fact. Re-trace before presenting.
"The reviewer was confident (95/100)"	Confidence is the sub-agent's self-assessment, not ground truth. Re-verify the specific trace.
"The user authorized /proceed, there's no time"	/proceed authorizes passing the gate, not skipping verification. Critical claims get re-traced regardless.
"Retracting later is fine"	A retracted phantom critical costs more context and trust than verifying up front.

False Positive Exclusions:

• Pre-existing issues not introduced by the current changes
• Issues a linter, typechecker, or compiler would catch
• Pedantic nitpicks a senior engineer would not flag
• General quality issues (coverage, docs) unless required by CLAUDE.md
• CLAUDE.md rules explicitly silenced via lint-ignore comments
• Intentional functionality changes related to the broader change
• Issues on lines the author did not modify

---

Phase 2: Security Audit

Only flag issues with >80% confidence of actual exploitability. Better to miss theoretical issues than flood with false positives.

Categories to Examine

Input Validation:

• SQL injection, command injection, XXE, template injection, NoSQL injection, path traversal

Authentication & Authorization:

• Auth bypass, privilege escalation, session management flaws, JWT vulnerabilities, authz logic bypasses

Crypto & Secrets:

• Hardcoded keys/tokens/passwords, weak algorithms, improper key storage, randomness issues, cert validation bypasses

Injection & Code Execution:

• RCE via unsafe deserialization, eval/exec injection, XSS (reflected, stored, DOM-based)

Data Exposure:

• Sensitive data logging, PII handling violations, API data leakage, debug info exposure

Language-Specific Security Checks

• C/C++: Buffer overflows, use-after-free, double-free, format string vulnerabilities, integer overflow leading to memory corruption
• Rust: Unsafe block audit, FFI boundary safety, transmute misuse — memory safety issues outside unsafe are not reportable
• Python: Unsafe deserialization, eval/exec, subprocess with shell=True, YAML unsafe load
• Swift: Force unwraps in untrusted data paths, UnsafePointer misuse
• TypeScript: Unsafe innerHTML assignment, security trust bypass methods, prototype pollution (high-confidence only)
• Java: Unsafe deserialization (ObjectInputStream), JNDI injection, SpEL injection, XXE via DocumentBuilder, SQL injection via string concatenation
• Ruby: Dynamic dispatch (send/public_send) with user input, ERB injection, unsafe Marshal.load
• Dart: Platform channel injection, insecure storage on mobile

Cloud Infrastructure Security Checks

• GCP: Overly permissive IAM bindings (allUsers/allAuthenticatedUsers), public Cloud Storage buckets, service account keys in code (use workload identity), missing audit logging, firewall rules open to 0.0.0.0/0, Cloud Functions with unauthenticated invocation on sensitive endpoints, missing VPC Service Controls for sensitive projects, default service account usage with editor role
• AWS: Overly permissive IAM policies (* actions/resources), public S3 buckets, unencrypted storage (EBS, RDS, S3), security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 on sensitive ports, missing CloudTrail/logging, hardcoded credentials in CloudFormation/CDK, Lambda environment variables with secrets (use Secrets Manager/SSM), cross-account access without external ID, missing VPC endpoints for AWS services
• Azure: Overly permissive RBAC assignments (Owner/Contributor at subscription scope), storage accounts with public blob access, missing Key Vault for secrets (hardcoded in ARM/Bicep), NSG rules open to Any on sensitive ports, missing diagnostic settings, managed identity not used where available, missing private endpoints for PaaS services, Azure AD app registrations with excessive API permissions

Hard Exclusions (Do NOT Report)

1. Denial of Service / resource exhaustion
2. Secrets stored on disk if otherwise secured
3. Rate limiting concerns
4. Lack of hardening measures (only flag concrete vulnerabilities)
5. Race conditions unless concretely exploitable
6. Outdated third-party library versions
7. Memory safety in memory-safe languages outside unsafe blocks
8. Test-only files
9. Log spoofing
10. SSRF controlling only the path (not host/protocol)
11. User content in AI prompts
12. Regex injection/ReDoS
13. Documentation files
14. Environment variables and CLI flags (treated as trusted)
15. Client-side permission checks (server is responsible)

Severity Ratings

• HIGH: Directly exploitable — RCE, data breach, auth bypass (confidence >= 0.8)
• MEDIUM: Requires specific conditions but significant impact (confidence >= 0.8, must be obvious and concrete)
• LOW: Defense-in-depth — do not report

---

Phase 3: Code Simplification

Analyze recently modified code and apply refinements that:

1. Preserve Functionality: Never change what the code does — only how it does it
2. Apply Project Standards: Follow CLAUDE.md conventions for the language in use
3. Enhance Clarity:

• Reduce unnecessary complexity and nesting
• Eliminate redundant code and abstractions
• Improve variable and function names
• Consolidate related logic
• Remove comments that describe obvious code
• Avoid nested ternary operators — prefer switch/match/if-else for multiple conditions
• Choose clarity over brevity — explicit is better than overly compact

4. Maintain Balance — Avoid over-simplification that:

• Creates overly clever solutions hard to understand
• Combines too many concerns into single functions
• Removes helpful abstractions
• Prioritizes fewer lines over readability
• Makes code harder to debug or extend

Language-Specific Simplification

• Python: Replace verbose patterns with comprehensions, prefer pathlib over os.path, use match statements ( 3.10+)
• Swift: Leverage trailing closure syntax, prefer guard-let over nested if-let, use result builders where appropriate
• TypeScript: Use discriminated unions over type assertions, prefer satisfies for type validation, use as const for literal types
• Rust: Use ? operator over match chains, prefer iterator combinators over loops where clearer, leverage impl Trait in argument position
• Java: Use records for value objects (16+), prefer sealed classes/interfaces for restricted hierarchies (17+), leverage Optional over null returns, use try-with-resources for AutoCloseable
• C: Extract repeated patterns into well-named functions, ensure consistent error-code-based cleanup patterns
• C++: Use structured bindings, range-based for loops, std::optional over sentinel values, CTAD where it helps readability
• Ruby: Leverage then/yield_self, prefer frozen_string_literal, use pattern matching (3.0+)
• Dart: Use cascade notation, prefer final over var, leverage collection-if/collection-for

Cloud Infrastructure Simplification

• GCP Terraform: Use for_each over count for named resources, consolidate repeated IAM bindings into google_project_iam_policy or member blocks, prefer workload identity over service account keys, use modules for repeated patterns
• AWS CloudFormation/CDK: Replace inline policies with managed policies where appropriate, use !Sub over !Join/Fn::Join for string interpolation, consolidate duplicate IAM statements, prefer CDK L2/L3 constructs over L1 (Cfn*) when available
• Azure Bicep/ARM: Prefer Bicep over raw ARM templates, use modules for repeated resource patterns, consolidate role assignments, use existing keyword instead of reference(), prefer user-assigned managed identity over system-assigned when shared across resources
• General IaC: Remove redundant default values that match provider defaults, extract repeated values into variables/ parameters, ensure consistent tagging/labeling strategy, prefer declarative over imperative patterns

---

Phase 4: Error Handling Audit (Silent Failure Hunting)

Systematically locate and scrutinize:

Identify All Error Handling Code

• try-catch / try-except / Result types / error callbacks
• Conditional branches handling error states
• Fallback logic and default values on failure
• Optional chaining or null coalescing hiding errors

For Each Error Handler, Evaluate

Logging Quality:

• Is the error logged with appropriate severity?
• Does the log include sufficient context (operation, IDs, state)?
• Would this log help debug the issue 6 months from now?

User Feedback:

• Does the user receive clear, actionable feedback?
• Is the error message specific enough to be useful?

Catch Block Specificity:

• Does it catch only expected error types?
• Could it accidentally suppress unrelated errors?
• List every unexpected error type that could be hidden

Fallback Behavior:

• Is the fallback explicitly justified?
• Does it mask the underlying problem?
• Is it a fallback to a mock/stub outside test code?

Error Propagation:

• Should this error bubble up instead of being caught here?
• Does catching prevent proper cleanup/resource management?

Severity Ratings

• CRITICAL: Silent failure, broad catch, empty catch block
• HIGH: Poor error message, unjustified fallback, swallowed error
• MEDIUM: Missing context, could be more specific

---

Phase 5: Type Design Analysis

For every new or modified type definition:

Analysis Framework

1. Identify Invariants: Data consistency, valid state transitions, relationship constraints, business rules, pre/postconditions
2. Evaluate Encapsulation (1-10): Hidden internals? Invariants violable from outside? Minimal interface?
3. Assess Invariant Expression (1-10): Clear communication through structure? Compile-time enforcement? Self-documenting?
4. Judge Usefulness (1-10): Prevents real bugs? Aligned with requirements? Aids reasoning?
5. Examine Enforcement (1-10): Checked at construction? Mutation points guarded? Impossible to create invalid instances?

Anti-Patterns to Flag

• Anemic domain models with no behavior
• Types exposing mutable internals
• Invariants enforced only through documentation
• Types with too many responsibilities
• Missing validation at construction boundaries
• Types relying on external code to maintain invariants

Language-Specific Type Concerns

• TypeScript: Discriminated unions over type assertions, branded types for domain IDs
• Python: Frozen dataclasses for immutable value objects, post_init validation
• Rust: Newtype pattern for domain primitives, non_exhaustive for future-proof enums
• Swift: Structs with let properties for value types, protocol witnesses
• Dart: Freezed for immutable data, sealed classes for union types
• Java: Records for immutable value types, sealed interfaces for sum types, private constructors with static factory methods for validated types
• C++: Strong typedefs, RAII wrappers, deleted copy/move where appropriate
• C: Opaque pointers for encapsulation, static assertions for struct invariants
• Ruby: Struct or Data (Ruby 3.2+) for value objects, freeze patterns

Cloud Resource Configuration Concerns

• GCP Terraform: Missing prevent_destroy lifecycle on stateful resources, overly broad OAuth scopes, missing labels for cost attribution, default network usage
• AWS CDK/CloudFormation: Stack outputs exposing sensitive values, missing RemovalPolicy.RETAIN on stateful resources, Lambda permissions broader than needed, missing resource-based policies
• Azure Bicep: Missing lock on critical resources, overly permissive CORS settings, missing minTlsVersion, storage accounts without lifecycle management policies

---

Phase 6: Architecture Analysis (On Request)

When architect scope is requested:

1. Codebase Pattern Analysis: Extract existing patterns, conventions, module boundaries, abstraction layers
2. Architecture Design: Make decisive choices based on patterns found. Design for testability, performance, maintainability
3. Implementation Blueprint:

• Patterns and conventions found with file:line references
• Component design with file paths, responsibilities, dependencies, interfaces
• Data flow from entry points through transformations to outputs
• Phased implementation steps as a checklist
• Error handling, state management, testing, performance, security considerations

---

Phase 7: Custom Focus (On Request)

When custom scope is requested:

1. Parse the user-supplied criteria from the remaining arguments — treat them as a natural-language review directive (e.g. "check for N+1 queries", "audit thread safety", "verify no blocking I/O in async paths").
2. Scope the review to the files or paths implied by the directive or by $ARGUMENTS; fall back to the diff if no target is specified.
3. Apply the same rigor as the built-in phases: gather context, launch parallel sub-agents if the criteria decompose into independent checks, apply the >= 80 confidence filter, and exclude false positives per Phase 1 rules.
4. Report findings using the format appropriate to the directive:
   • Review-shaped directives (auditing, vulnerability scanning, gap analysis, compliance checks): use the Code Review output format below, with the [Category] field set to a short label derived from the custom directive (e.g. N+1, ThreadSafety, BlockingIO).
   • Non-review directives (drafting a PR title/description, summarizing changes, producing a changelog entry, writing migration notes, generating release notes, composing a commit message): produce output in the format the directive asks for. A PR description should look like a PR description, a changelog like a changelog, a migration note like a migration note. Forcing a "Findings Summary" table onto these is nonsensical and confusing.

How to tell the difference: a review-shaped directive asks "what's wrong with X?" or "where does X fail?" — the output is a list of issues with severity. A non-review directive asks "draft / write / summarize / describe X" — the output is the artifact itself, not a critique.

Use this scope when the built-in phases do not cover the specific concern the user wants investigated or the deliverable the user wants produced.

Rationalization counter:

Excuse	Reality
"Phase 7 says 'Report findings using the Code Review output format'"	That clause assumed every custom directive is review-shaped. It isn't. For drafting/summarizing directives, the format-appropriate output IS the finding.
"I should at least include the Findings Summary table"	If there are no findings, the table is empty. Don't pad. Deliver the artifact the user asked for.
"Staying rigid to the prescribed format is safer"	It's not — it produces confusing output that doesn't answer the directive. The skill's purpose is to serve the directive, not the format.

Execution Strategy

1. Gather context — git status, diff, log, CLAUDE.md files (Phase 0)
2. Launch parallel review agents for independent analysis perspectives (Phase 1)
3. Run security audit on the diff (Phase 2)
4. Filter all findings through confidence scoring — discard below 80
5. Apply simplification analysis to surviving code (Phase 3)
6. Audit error handling in changed code (Phase 4)
7. Analyze new/modified types (Phase 5)
8. Architecture analysis if requested (Phase 6)
9. Custom focus analysis if requested (Phase 7)
10. Aggregate and present results in the output format above, organized by severity
11. Generate summary table — produce a consolidated findings table as the final output

Launch phases 1-5 as parallel sub-agents where possible; Phase 7 may itself dispatch parallel sub-agents when the custom directive decomposes into independent checks. Each sub-agent should include the full context of its phase instructions above.

Final reminder: Focus on HIGH and MEDIUM findings only. Every finding should be something a senior engineer would confidently raise. Cite specific file:line references. Provide concrete fixes, not vague suggestions.

Summary Table

As the very last section of your output, produce a consolidated table of all findings:

## Findings Summary

| #   | Phase    | Severity | Category       | File:Line       | Description                     | Confidence |

**Totals:** X critical · Y high · Z medium · W simplification opportunities
**Recommended action:** [1-2 sentence prioritized next step]

Include every reported finding in the table — this serves as a quick-reference index for the full review above.
