Talos Code Reviewer
Use this skill to ensure high code quality, consistency, and compliance with
the protocol's core mandates.
Load these first:
../../../AGENTS.md
../../../CONTRIBUTING.md
../planning/program-anchor-index.md
Workflow:
- Architecture: Verify the change aligns with
talos-contract-first.
Check for cross-repo leaks or deep imports.
- Security: Check for secret leakage, unsafe defaults, and authz-sensitive
holes. Use
talos-capability-audit if needed.
- Idiomaticity: Ensure Python follows PEP 8 and TS/JS follows the site's
lint/format rules. Check for consistency with the existing codebase.
- Testing: Verify the change is covered by tests and follows
talos-tdd-workflow. Run deploy/scripts/run_all_tests.sh --changed.
- Documentation: Ensure all changed public APIs or CLI flags are documented.
Non-negotiables:
- No deep cross-repo imports.
- No hardcoded secrets or absolute paths.
- No change without tests (negative cases included for security-critical logic).
- No undocumented breaking changes or CLI flags.
Done checklist:
- Code reviewed for architecture, security, and idiomaticity.
- Tests verified and green.
- Documentation parity checked.
- PR description draft includes a clear summary and impact analysis.
- Final review summary lists findings clearly with actionable feedback.
