worldbankSkillreview-testing
Review test code for quality, design, and completeness after implementing a feature or fixing a bug. Use when the user asks to "review my tests", "check my test quality", "are these tests good enough", "review testing", or after completing a feature implementation that includes tests. Also use when tests feel brittle, flaky, or superficial. Cross-references production code to find coverage gaps.

navjyotnishantSkillreview-correctness
Use this skill when the user asks to "review my changes for bugs", "check this diff for correctness", "did I introduce a regression", or wants a correctness-focused review of the current commit or uncommitted work before pushing. Reviews the changed lines and their blast radius for logic errors, regressions, unhandled edge cases, and missing validation. Works in any git repo; nothing here is project-specific.

SentrySkillwrite-tests

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
3 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 14 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 16
Read the code under review to understand its structure — module boundaries, key abstractions, dependencies.
- Very specific: line 18
Read references/architecture.md for architectural principles.
- Very specific: line 24
Check for anti-patterns from references/architecture.md.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 14 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.

Purpose
Decide whether the code's architecture is fit to ship. Identify improvements that would make the codebase simpler, more coherent, and easier to change.
Scope
The invoking layer decides what's in scope. For a diff-scoped review, that's the structural choices in the diff. For a full-codebase audit, that's the codebase's overall structure. Even in a diff-scoped review, evaluate the changes in the context of the entire codebase — a boundary that looks fine in isolation can be wrong in context. Check each choice for structural quality and check the codebase as a whole for coherence.
Method
- Read the code under review to understand its structure — module boundaries, key abstractions, dependencies.
- Read
references/architecture.mdfor architectural principles. Read any related guides it points to for the code under review. - For each in-scope structural choice:
- Evaluate against the principles in
references/architecture.md. - Identify improvements.
- Evaluate against the principles in
- Check for anti-patterns from
references/architecture.md. - For each improvement, decide if it blocks shipping. Circular dependencies, god objects, and coupling that will block near-term work typically block. Small simplifications, naming preferences, and style choices typically don't.
The invoking layer may add checks in addition to those above.
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
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.
