Provide a systematic checklist for conducting thorough code reviews. This skill helps reviewers ensure code quality, catch bugs, identify security issues, and maintain consistency across the codebase. Use when reviewing pull requests Use when conducting code audits Use when establishing code review standards for a team Use when training new developers on code review practices Use when you want to ensure nothing is missed in reviews Use when creating code review documentation Before reviewing code, I'll help you understand: What problem does this code solve? What are the requirements? What files were changed and why? Are there related issues or tickets? What's the testing strategy? Check if the code works correctly: Does it solve the stated problem? Are edge cases handled? Is error handling appropriate? Are there any logical errors? Does it match the requirements? Assess code maintainability: Is the code readable and clear? Are names descriptive? Is it properly structured? Are functions/methods focused? Is there unnecessary complexity? Check for security issues: Are inputs validated? Is sensitive data protected? Are there SQL injection risks? Is authentication/authorization correct?
