Purpose
Compatibility review for backwards/forwards compatibility across APIs, events, database, config, clients, and deployment versions.
Review focus
- backward incompatibility
- rolling deploy issue
- old client break
- database expand-contract violation
- event versioning gap
Method
- Inspect changed files and diff hunks relevant to this skill.
- Use repository-native tools when available.
- Prefer exact evidence from changed code.
- Emit findings using the shared JSONL finding contract.
- Avoid style-only comments unless they create maintainability or correctness risk.
Tooling hints
- Use
grep or editor search before opening files.
- Use
git, grep, and gh CLI. These are universally available and sufficient for all review tasks.
- Do not depend on tools beyond
git, grep, cat, head, wc, and gh.
