Local Code Review
Run a comprehensive, critical code review of local changes. This skill analyzes staged and unstaged changes to provide insights, identify issues, and suggest alternative approaches.
Instructions
When this skill is invoked:
- First, read the detailed agent instructions from
.claude/agents/code-review/instructions.md - Gather the current changes using git diff
- Analyze the changes following the review framework
- Provide a structured report with findings and alternatives
Usage
/code-review # Review all uncommitted changes
/code-review --staged # Review only staged changes
/code-review <commit> # Review changes in a specific commit
/code-review <base>..<head> # Review changes between commits
Review Process
Step 1: Gather Changes
Based on arguments:
- No args:
git diff HEAD(all uncommitted changes) -
--staged:git diff --staged -
<commit>:git show <commit> -
<base>..<head>:git diff <base>..<head>
Step 2: Understand Context
For each modified file:
- Read the full file to understand surrounding context
- Identify the module/component's purpose
- Note existing patterns and conventions
Step 3: Analyze Changes
Apply the review framework from .claude/agents/code-review/instructions.md:
- Correctness analysis
- Design evaluation
- Security review
- Performance considerations
- Maintainability assessment
Step 4: Generate Alternatives
For non-trivial changes, brainstorm alternative approaches:
- Different architectural patterns
- Alternative algorithms or data structures
- Trade-off analysis for each approach
Step 5: Report
Provide a structured report with:
- Executive summary
- Critical issues (must fix)
- Concerns (should consider)
- Suggestions (nice to have)
- Alternative approaches with trade-offs
- Questions for the author
