Code Review

Use this skill when the task is to review code rather than write it.

Review Priorities

1. Bugs and behavioral regressions
2. Data loss, security, and correctness risks
3. Missing validation or broken edge cases
4. Missing or weak tests for changed behavior
5. Secondary maintainability concerns

Output Shape

• Findings first, ordered by severity
• File references for each finding
• Open questions or assumptions
• Short summary only after findings

Non-Goals

• Do not rewrite the code just because there is a different style preference.
• Do not bury real risks under a long summary.
