code-review

Orchestrates plan-alignment and quality reviews using persistent or ad-hoc reviewer teammates. Use when verifying implementation matches requirements, at batch review checkpoints, before merging to main, after completing a major feature, before refactoring, after fixing a complex bug, or when a fresh perspective is needed. Spawns specialist reviewers (spec, quality, security, architecture) in parallel and consolidates findings.

Quality

Content

62%

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

This skill provides a well-structured orchestration guide with clear workflows for two operating modes and good decision criteria for handling review feedback. Its main weaknesses are incomplete actionability (key steps reference tools and templates without showing concrete usage) and some verbosity in sections that state obvious best practices. The references to external files cannot be verified since no bundle is provided.

Suggestions

Add a concrete executable example for creating a review team and spawning reviewers in standalone mode (e.g., actual tool invocations or command syntax for kit:team-orchestration and SendMessage).

Trim or remove the 'Red Flags' section — Claude already knows not to skip reviews or ignore critical issues; this adds tokens without new information.

Include a brief example of the TaskList entry format and SendMessage content so the 'Within an Existing Team' workflow is copy-paste actionable.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Generally efficient but includes some unnecessary sections like 'Persistent Reviewer Benefits' and 'Red Flags' that explain concepts Claude already understands (e.g., don't skip reviews, don't ignore critical issues). The 'Scope and Recommended Focus' section adds meta-commentary that could be trimmed.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete git diff commands and a clear workflow structure, but key steps like 'Create review tasks in the shared TaskList' and 'Send context via SendMessage' lack executable examples or specific syntax. References to agent types and dispatch templates are mentioned but not shown, making standalone mode hard to execute without prior knowledge.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Both operating modes are clearly sequenced with numbered steps. The feedback handling section provides explicit triage criteria (Critical → fix immediately, Important → fix before proceeding, Minor → note for later) which serves as a validation/decision checkpoint. The parallel review pattern is clearly described.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

References external files like 'code-review/code-reviewer.md', 'agents/code-reviewer.md', and 'kit:team-orchestration' but no bundle files are provided to verify these exist. The Integration section provides a reasonable navigation map, but the skill inlines content that could be split (e.g., the Red Flags and Persistent Reviewer Benefits sections) while deferring critical actionable details to files we can't verify.

Description

92%

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

This is a strong description that clearly articulates what the skill does and when to use it, with an explicit and comprehensive 'Use when...' clause covering multiple trigger scenarios. The specialist reviewer types add specificity, and the parallel spawning/consolidation pattern is distinctive. The main weakness is potential overlap with individual review-focused skills, though the orchestration framing helps differentiate it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: orchestrating plan-alignment reviews, quality reviews, spawning specialist reviewers (spec, quality, security, architecture) in parallel, and consolidating findings. These are concrete, well-defined capabilities.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (orchestrates plan-alignment and quality reviews using reviewer teammates, spawns specialist reviewers in parallel, consolidates findings) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when...' clause listing seven specific trigger scenarios like verifying implementation, batch review checkpoints, before merging, etc.).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes strong natural trigger terms users would say: 'review', 'merging to main', 'refactoring', 'bug', 'requirements', 'quality', 'security', 'architecture', 'fresh perspective'. These cover a good range of natural language a user might use when requesting code review.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

While the multi-agent orchestration aspect and specialist reviewer types (spec, quality, security, architecture) are distinctive, terms like 'review', 'quality', and 'security' could overlap with individual code review, security scanning, or quality assurance skills. The 'persistent or ad-hoc reviewer teammates' framing helps but doesn't fully eliminate overlap risk.
