code-review-checklist

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. Before reviewing code, I'll help you understand: Check if the code works correctly: Assess code maintainability: Check for security issues: Look for performance issues: Verify test coverage: Symptoms: Code works for happy path but fails on edge cases Solution: Ask "What if...?" questions Symptoms: Code exposes security risks Solution: Use security checklist Symptoms: New code has no tests or inadequate tests Solution: Require tests for all new code Symptoms: Reviewer can't understand what code does Solution: Request improvements Pro Tip: Use a checklist template for every review to ensure consistency and thoroughness. Customize it for your team's specific needs! - 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 - What problem does this code solve? - What are the requirements? - What files were changed and why? - Are there related issues or tickets?
