// Perform code review. Quality analysis. Acceptance criteria verification. Best practices review.
Design the architecture to solve a given task. Propose the solutions to be used to deliver the task following the best practices and standards.
Discover and establish technical context before implementing any feature. Prioritize project instructions, existing codebase patterns, and external documentation in that order. Use for any task requiring understanding of project conventions, coding standards, architecture patterns, and established practices before writing code.
Analyse the codebase of the system. Look for dependencies. Understand how the business logic is implemented. Look for duplications.
Create custom agents (.agent.md) for GitHub Copilot in VS Code. Provides templates, guidelines, and a structured process for building agent definitions that describe behavior, personality, responsibilities, and problem-solving approaches. Use when creating, reviewing, or updating .agent.md files.
Creates custom instruction files (.instructions.md) for GitHub Copilot in VS Code. Covers repository-level instructions (copilot-instructions.md) and granular file-based instructions with applyTo glob patterns. Provides templates and decision framework for instruction vs. skill placement. Use when creating, reviewing, or updating .instructions.md files.
Create custom prompt files (.prompt.md) for GitHub Copilot in VS Code. Provides templates, guidelines, and a structured process for building prompt files that trigger specific workflows routed to the right custom agent and AI model. Use when creating, reviewing, or updating .prompt.md files.

This skill helps you verify that the implemented code follows all best practices and quality standards.
Use the checklist below and track your progress:
Analysis progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Understand the task description
- [ ] Step 2: Understand the plan to implement task
- [ ] Step 3: Analyse the implemented solution and compare that to task description and implementation plan
- [ ] Step 4: Verify that solution has implemented all necessary tests
- [ ] Step 5: Run all unit tests
- [ ] Step 6: Run all integrations tests
- [ ] Step 7: Run all e2e tests
- [ ] Step 8: Verify that solution follows the best practices
- [ ] Step 9: Run static code analysis tools and formatting tools
- [ ] Step 10: Validate the solution is secure
- [ ] Step 11: Validate the solution is scalable
Step 1: Understand the task description
Look for *.research.md file to fully understand the business goal of the task.
In case of task being connected to task management tool make sure to use that tool to access even more context.
In case of missing research file, follow the conversation to understand the goal.
Step 2: Understand the plan to implement task
Look for *.plan.md file to understand the planned solution implementation.
In case of missing it follow the conversation to understand the goal.
Step 3: Analyse the implemented solution and compare that to task description and implementation plan
Based on implementation plan and task description, compare it to actually implementation.
Focus not only on files that were actually changed or added, but also those that claim to be already implemented.
Step 4: Verify that solution has implemented all necessary tests
Make sure that all critical paths of the solutions are fully tested by combination of different tests - e2e, unit, integration.
Step 5: Run all unit tests
Find unit tests and run them. Make sure they are passing.
Step 6: Run all integration tests
Find integration tests and run them. Make sure they are passing.
Step 7: Run all e2e tests
Find end-to-end tests and run them. Make sure they are passing.
Step 8: Verify that solution follows the best practices
Check the implemented solution. Make sure it follow the best development practices.
Take into account project standards and a practices like SOLID, SRP, DDD, DRY, KISS, Atomic Design.
Make sure that solution is not over engineered. Keep the cognitive complexity on a lower side.
Step 9: Run static code analysis tools and formatting tools
Make sure to run linters, static code analysis tools and formatting tools.
Step 10: Validate the solution is secure
Focus on security. Check for potential OWASP TOP10 issues. Check for potential critical security issues that allows other users to take control over the system.
Step 11: Validate the solution is scalable
Analyse if the implemented solution is scalable. Focus on areas like being able to scale it horizontally, not having a stateful components, not having code with high computational complexity.
