Can it detect N+1 query issues in Laravel?

Yes, it specifically checks for eager-loading requirements and suggests using chunk() or cursor() for large datasets to prevent memory exhaustion.

Does this skill modify my source code during a review?

No, this is a read-only skill. It is strictly designed to analyze code and provide detailed feedback without altering any files.

Which PHP frameworks are supported?

While the focus is on PHP generally, it is highly optimized for the Laravel framework, following specific conventions for Controllers, Services, and Eloquent.

How does it handle code coverage requirements?

The skill enforces a strict 100% coverage policy for all changed files, reviewing the tests as thoroughly as the code itself to ensure proper assertions and mocking.
