code-review
Skill0 starsChanged 50 days agoMITView on GitHub
Review code changes only against the original requirement document. Finds code that contradicts the spec, behaviour the spec never asked for, in-scope rules that are missing or untested, and code built on open decisions, each cited as spec ID and source line. Use when asked to review code or a PR against the spec, PRD, FSD or requirements, check requirement coverage, or verify that a change implements a requirement ID.

dzhngSkillclose-spec
When a spec under specs/<feature>/ is done shipping (a write-spec build, or any planned task that produced a spec), archive it to specs/done/ and rewrite it from a build-plan into a durable rationale — the why, the principles, the invariants — pointing back to the real code for the how. Use when implementation has landed and the plan no longer matches what shipped, or the user says a feature/spec is finished. Pairs with [write-spec](../write-spec/SKILL.md) (the plan this closes) and [review](../review/SKILL.md) (run before closing).

dzhngSkilldesign-with-images
Explore UI and visual design with image generation, then iterate the real implementation against the user-selected concept. Use when brainstorming visual directions, offering mockup variants, or implementing an approved generated design; do not stop at the mockups or the first code approximation.
Also in 5 projects that use this
PydanticSkilladd-new-model
Add support for a newly-released language or image generation model in pydantic-ai (e.g. openai:gpt-5.6, anthropic:claude-sonnet-5, openai:gpt-image-2). Use when a provider ships a new model id and you need to wire literals, profile flags, adapters, and tests to recognize it. Handles SDK-lag, gateway list conventions, capability probing, and direct image-model geometry.

transitive-bullshitSkillcompare-screenshots
Compare screenshots against the intended design, distinguishing approved references from historical baselines. Use for iterative implementation matching, before/after visual review, objective image telemetry, or checking a lone capture for flat, empty, or badly framed content.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

Most of the 184 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 184 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.
Files
grepable:code-review
A review with one question: does this code do what the original requirement document says, and nothing else? Style, performance and general best practice are out of scope. Leave them to other reviewers.
Spec location (shared by all grepable skills)
Find the requirement document in this order and use the first that exists:
- A path the user gives in the request.
- A
Spec source: <path>line in the repo'sCLAUDE.mdorAGENTS.md. docs/original-requirement.md(the default).
If none exists, stop and ask for the path. Never pick a "similar-looking" document yourself.
Shards live in the Spec shards: <dir> line if present, otherwise docs/fsd/.
If the user points at a shard, INDEX.md or the shards folder, the source is the path in the shard's
line-1 marker (<!-- source: <path>:L<start>-L<end> -->).
Reading the spec. If shards exist and are fresh, use INDEX.md and ID-MAP.md to find the section,
then read that shard (its content is a byte-exact copy of the source). Shards are stale when the source
changed after INDEX.md was generated (compare git log -1 or file times); then re-run grepable:shard or read the source directly. With no
shards, grep the source for the ID or term and read the whole section around it.
Citations always point at the source document, never at a shard.
- With IDs:
LN-03.R2 (docs/original-requirement.md:L103).ID-MAP.mdgives the source line. - Without IDs:
docs/original-requirement.md:L103. From a shard, source line = marker start + shard line − 2. If the spec has no IDs at all, say so once and suggest adding them; then proceed with lines.
Steps
- What to review. Use the target the user gives (PR, branch, commit, files). Otherwise review the
uncommitted changes plus the current branch against its base (
git diff <base>...HEADandgit diff). Read changed files in full where needed to understand behaviour. - Map code to spec. For each observable behaviour in the change (inputs accepted or refused, values, limits, messages, codes, state changes, permissions), find the spec ID that governs it. Also list the spec IDs in scope for this change (from the PR description, commit messages, test names, or the section the code clearly implements), so missing work is visible.
Classify findings.
Type Meaning MISMATCH Code contradicts the spec (a different limit, code, message, rule or permission). UNSPECIFIED Observable behaviour with no spec citation: an invented default, limit, fallback, message or rule. MISSING An in-scope rule or acceptance criterion that the change does not implement. UNTESTED Implemented, but no test exercises that rule or criterion. OPEN ITEM Code built on a spec item marked Decision pending,TBDorNOT IN SPEC.Only report what you can show: quote the spec text verbatim and point at the code line. If the spec is ambiguous, report it as a question, not as a defect in the code.
Report.
# Type Code (file:line) Spec ID (source line) Spec says (verbatim) Code does Then:
- Coverage: each in-scope spec ID with ✅ implemented and tested / ⚠ untested / ❌ missing.
- Questions for the spec owner: ambiguities and gaps found while reviewing.
- Verdict: Matches spec, Matches spec with gaps or Does not match spec.
Don't
- Don't report style, naming, performance or security issues here unless the spec states the rule.
- Don't treat existing code as the spec. If old code and the spec disagree, it is a MISMATCH.
- Don't fix the code unless the user asks. This skill reviews.
- Don't edit the requirement document or the shards.
