Code Quality Workflow
Overview
Standardize how to analyze, review, and improve code quality. This skill centralizes quality assessment, code review practices, and systematic improvements with validation gates.
When to Use
- •Quality assessment or code analysis requests
- •Code review (PRs, refactors, pre-merge checks)
- •Maintainability or performance improvements
- •Security hygiene improvements (non-audit level)
Avoid when:
- •A full security audit is required (use security-specific skills)
- •The task is purely dependency or artifact cleanup (use repo-cleanup)
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Code analysis | skills/code-quality-workflow/references/analyze-code.md |
| Code review | skills/code-quality-workflow/references/code-review.md |
| Systematic improvements | skills/code-quality-workflow/references/quality-improve.md |
Workflow
- •Select the mode: analyze, review, or improve.
- •Load the matching reference file for the expected structure.
- •Inspect code and identify findings or opportunities.
- •Apply changes (if improving) with safety validation.
- •Verify with tests or lint as appropriate.
- •Report findings, fixes, and follow-ups.
Output
- •Findings or improvements summary
- •Validation evidence or recommended checks
- •Follow-up backlog items if needed
Common Mistakes
- •Skipping severity prioritization
- •Mixing review and improvement without sign-off
- •Applying fixes without baseline tests
- •Overlapping with full security audit scopes
