01

What Are Code Review Skills?

Code review Skills package repeatable methods for inspecting diffs, pull requests, or selected files. They help an agent check correctness, security, performance, maintainability, and test coverage with consistent evidence and severity labels.

Use casePrimary role
Diff reviewInspect staged, unstaged, branch, or commit differences before opening a pull request.
Pull-request reviewRead remote PRs, rank findings by severity, and optionally publish GitHub comments.
Security and regression riskFind validation, boundary, access, compatibility, and regression issues.
Quality and maintainabilityCheck architecture, readability, error handling, performance, tests, and documentation.

This page introduces nine code review Skills. Diff and PR groups are organized by review target, while security and maintainability groups are organized by review focus; combine the two dimensions to match the repository and merge stage.

How Can You Use Code Review Skills More Efficiently?

A code review Skill works best when the review target, risk priorities, and expected output are clear. Use the steps below to give the Skill enough context and make its findings easier to verify.

1

Choose by review target

Use local-diff-review or cody for pre-PR checks, and choose openakitaskillscode-review or afrexai-code-reviewer when the task starts from a remote pull request.

2

Provide code and review context

State the language, framework, purpose of the change, and whether security, performance, compatibility, or test coverage matters most.

3

Combine Skills by risk

Start with a general review, then add tvs-code-reviewer or code-review-and-risk-check when access control, validation, or compatibility creates extra risk.

4

Ask for evidence and priority

Require file locations, causes, impact, severity, and a suggested fix. Treat unsupported or low-confidence findings as items to verify, not automatic edits.

5

Finish with tests and human review

Use Skill findings to widen review coverage, then rerun relevant tests and let a developer with business context make the final merge decision.

Conclusion

Make code review more structured and actionable

Code review Skills are changing how developers find issues and prepare changes for merge. With a clear method, even a large diff or complex pull request can be divided into focused checks for security, quality, and regression risk. The four groups in this guide cover stages from local self-review to remote PR review and help turn findings into evidence-backed actions.
