Review the changed code for reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude cleanups, then apply the fixes. Quality only — it does not hunt for bugs; use /code-review for that.

    codex-system

    PROACTIVELY consult Codex CLI, your highly capable supporter with exceptional reasoning and task completion abilities. Codex is a trusted expert you should ALWAYS consult BEFORE making decisions on: design choices, implementation approaches, debugging strategies, refactoring plans, or any non-trivial problem. When uncertain, consult Codex. Don't hesitate - Codex provides better analysis. Explicit triggers: "think deeper", "analyze", "second opinion", "consult codex".

    design-tracker

    PROACTIVELY track and document project design decisions without being asked. Activate automatically when detecting architecture discussions, implementation decisions, pattern choices, library selections, or any technical decisions. Also use when user explicitly says "記録して", "設計どうなってる", "record this". Do NOT wait for user to ask - record important decisions immediately.

    clonedeps

    将项目依赖的第三方库源码克隆到本地,便于深入阅读和调试。当需要查看库的实现细节、阅读源码、调试第三方依赖、理解 SDK/framework 内部机制、查看 node_modules 之外的原始代码、分析开源库架构、学习他人代码、查看依赖的 TypeScript 类型定义时使用。

    verification-planning

    Plans how to prove a change works or broke nothing: frames the claim, designs an evidence path from the system itself, and requires every check to be able to fail.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 111 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Run git diff (or git diff HEAD if there are staged changes) to see what changed.

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    Use the Agent tool to launch all three agents concurrently in a single message.

    line 20
  3. Distinctive:

    Wait for all three agents to complete.

    line 56
  4. Distinctive:

    When done, briefly summarize what was fixed (or confirm the code was already clean).

    line 58

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 111 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Simplify: Code Review and Cleanup

Review all changed files for reuse, quality, and efficiency. Fix any issues found.

Phase 1: Identify Changes

Run git diff (or git diff HEAD if there are staged changes) to see what changed. If there are no git changes, review the most recently modified files that the user mentioned or that you edited earlier in this conversation.

Phase 2: Launch Three Review Agents in Parallel

Use the Agent tool to launch all three agents concurrently in a single message. Pass each agent the full diff so it has the complete context.

Agent 1: Code Reuse Review

For each change:

  1. Search for existing utilities and helpers that could replace newly written code. Look for similar patterns elsewhere in the codebase — common locations are utility directories, shared modules, and files adjacent to the changed ones.
  2. Flag any new function that duplicates existing functionality. Suggest the existing function to use instead.
  3. Flag any inline logic that could use an existing utility — hand-rolled string manipulation, manual path handling, custom environment checks, ad-hoc type guards, and similar patterns are common candidates.

Agent 2: Code Quality Review

Review the same changes for hacky patterns:

  1. Redundant state: state that duplicates existing state, cached values that could be derived, observers/effects that could be direct calls
  2. Parameter sprawl: adding new parameters to a function instead of generalizing or restructuring existing ones
  3. Copy-paste with slight variation: near-duplicate code blocks that should be unified with a shared abstraction
  4. Leaky abstractions: exposing internal details that should be encapsulated, or breaking existing abstraction boundaries
  5. Stringly-typed code: using raw strings where constants, enums (string unions), or branded types already exist in the codebase
  6. Unnecessary element nesting: wrapper elements that add no layout value — check whether the child's own classes or props already provide the needed layout
  7. Unnecessary comments: comments explaining WHAT the code does (well-named identifiers already do that), narrating the change, or referencing the task/caller — delete; keep only non-obvious WHY (hidden constraints, subtle invariants, workarounds)

Agent 3: Efficiency Review

Review the same changes for efficiency:

  1. Unnecessary work: redundant computations, repeated file reads, duplicate network/API calls, N+1 patterns
  2. Missed concurrency: independent operations run sequentially when they could run in parallel
  3. Hot-path bloat: new blocking work added to startup or per-request/per-render hot paths
  4. Recurring no-op updates: state/store updates inside polling loops, intervals, or event handlers that fire unconditionally — add a change-detection guard so downstream consumers aren't notified when nothing changed. Also: if a wrapper function takes an updater/reducer callback, verify it honors same-reference returns (or whatever the "no change" signal is) — otherwise callers' early-return no-ops are silently defeated
  5. Unnecessary existence checks: pre-checking file/resource existence before operating (TOCTOU anti-pattern) — operate directly and handle the error
  6. Memory: unbounded data structures, missing cleanup, event listener leaks
  7. Overly broad operations: reading entire files when only a portion is needed, loading all items when filtering for one

Phase 3: Fix Issues

Wait for all three agents to complete. Aggregate their findings and fix each issue directly. If a finding is a false positive or not worth addressing, note it and move on — do not argue with the finding, just skip it.

When done, briefly summarize what was fixed (or confirm the code was already clean).

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
