Code Review & Planning

When to use this skill

• Before starting a complex coding task ("Planning Mode").
• Before submitting work / marking a task as done.
• When the user asks for a code review.

1. Planning Checklist

• Context: Do I understand the why? Is this the right problem to solve?
• Dependencies: Am I adding new libraries? Are they necessary?
• Edge Cases: What happens if input is null? If network fails?

2. Code Review Checklist (Self-Correction)

• Readability: Can a junior dev understand this?
• Performance: Any N+1 queries? Loop inside loops?
• Security: Inputs validated? SQL injected?
• Tests: Did I break existing tests? Did I add new ones?

3. Tech Debt

• If you see ugly code but can't fix it now, leave a TODO: comment.
• Propose refactoring as a separate task, don't scope creep.
