code-review

Paranoid architect review of code changes for bugs, security, missing tests, and undocumented assumptions. Works on local git diffs OR a GitHub pull request (e.g. `owner/repo N`). For PRs, can post findings as line-level review comments.

Quality

Content

63%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A substantive, well-sequenced review skill with executable code and strong validation habits, weakened mainly by monolithic structure and some verbose sandbox-quirk commentary that could be externalized or trimmed.

Suggestions

Move the Monty sandbox closure-capture / base64-module rationale into a short references note (or trim to a one-line pointer) to cut token weight from the inline comments.

Split the six review lenses and the GitHub API call templates into separate reference files (e.g. references/lenses.md, references/github-api.md) and signal them with one-level-deep links, improving progressive_disclosure.

Define or fully wire the `line_findings` / `pr_findings` collections in the posting snippet so the example is copy-paste complete.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient, but the long inline comment asides on Monty sandbox closure-capture quirks and the missing base64 module are genuine over-explanation that could be tightened into a short reference note.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete, near-copy-paste `repl` snippets with real HTTP URLs and posting logic, but references undefined vars like `line_findings`/`pr_findings`, leaving minor wiring gaps.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear five-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (per-response status checks, severity scale, posting-failure returns), though the 'ask user which findings to post' loop is not fully closed.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-sectioned but entirely monolithic: no bundle files exist and the six-lens checklists, API call templates, and severity table are all inlined rather than split into one-level-deep references.

Description

83%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that names concrete actions and distinct triggers with low conflict risk. The only soft spot is trigger-term coverage, which would benefit from a few more natural synonyms surfaced in the description text itself.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete review actions — 'bugs, security, missing tests, and undocumented assumptions' plus 'post findings as line-level review comments' — with comprehensive coverage of the review domain.

5 / 5

Completeness

Clearly states the 'what' (paranoid architect review across four categories) and the 'when' (local git diffs OR a GitHub PR), with equivalent explicit trigger guidance, though the 'when' is embedded rather than a clean 'Use when...' clause.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural terms ('code review', 'code changes', 'git diffs', 'GitHub pull request', 'bugs', 'security') but a few common synonyms like 'review changes' or 'review diff' appear only in the activation keywords, not the description itself.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'paranoid architect review' framing plus the git-diff / GitHub-PR trigger shapes carve a clear niche with minimal overlap risk against generic code skills.
