Does it require an internet connection to work?

The skill operates on your locally available git history and codebase, though Claude requires a connection to process the analysis.

What severity levels are used in the review?

Findings are categorized into four levels: Critical (security/outages), Major (bugs/performance), Minor (quality/readability), and Nit (style/naming).

How does the code review skill detect side effects?

It traces function and class usage across your local repository to identify where changes in one file might impact logic in other parts of the application.

Does this skill modify my code during the review?

No, it performs read-only operations using non-destructive git commands to analyze your existing history and local files without making changes.

Can I review multiple commits at once?

Yes, the skill supports reviewing specific commit hashes, ranges of commits, or specific files within a commit scope.

Collaboration Tools

Performs automated, structured code reviews on git commits by analyzing diffs, tracing side effects, and classifying findings by severity.

About

This skill empowers Claude to act as a technical reviewer for your git-based projects, providing a rigorous and structured analysis of code changes. By examining commit metadata, classifying file modifications, and tracing function usages across the codebase, it identifies potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, and unintended side effects before they reach production. It automates the tedious parts of reviewing—such as checking dependency impacts—and delivers a formatted report categorized by severity levels from critical risks to minor stylistic nits, ensuring high code quality and team consistency.
