When to Use Me

Use me when:

•Reviewing pull requests
•Enforcing code quality
•Refactoring code
•Reducing complexity
•Improving maintainability
•Setting standards

My Technology Stack

•Linting: ESLint (JS/TS), Pylint/Ruff (Python), Clippy (Rust), golangci-lint (Go)
•Formatting: Prettier, Black, rustfmt, gofmt
•Complexity Analysis: SonarQube, Code Climate, Radon (Python)
•Documentation: JSDoc, Sphinx, rustdoc

Code Review Criteria

Automated Checks

Formatting:

•Run Prettier/Black
•Check consistent indentation
•Verify line length < 120 characters
•Check for trailing whitespace
•Ensure file ends with newline

Linting:

•No unused variables
•No console.log in production
•No TODO comments without ticket
•Proper error handling
•Type safety (strict mode)

Complexity Metrics:

yaml

cyclomatic_complexity:
  threshold: 10
  action: Suggest refactoring

cognitive_complexity:
  threshold: 15
  action: Flag for human review

max_function_length:
  threshold: 50_lines
  action: Suggest decomposition

max_file_length:
  threshold: 500_lines
  action: Suggest module split

Design Principles

SOLID Checks:

Single Responsibility:

•Class/function does one thing
•Can describe responsibility in one sentence
•Changes for only one reason

Open/Closed:

•Open for extension
•Closed for modification
•Use interfaces/abstract classes

Liskov Substitution:

•Subtypes usable where base type expected
•No strengthening preconditions
•No weakening postconditions

Interface Segregation:

•No fat interfaces
•Clients depend only on methods they use
•Prefer many small interfaces

Dependency Inversion:

•Depend on abstractions not concretions
•High-level modules independent of low-level
•Abstractions not dependent on details

Code Smells Detection:

yaml

long_method:
  threshold: 50_lines
  suggestion: Extract smaller methods

long_parameter_list:
  threshold: 4_parameters
  suggestion: Use parameter object

duplicated_code:
  threshold: 5_lines_repeated
  suggestion: Extract to function

large_class:
  threshold: 500_lines
  suggestion: Split into multiple classes

feature_envy:
  detection: Method uses more of another class
  suggestion: Move method to that class

primitive_obsession:
  detection: Using primitives instead of objects
  suggestion: Create value objects

Naming Conventions

Variables:

•Descriptive names (no single letters except i, j in loops)
•camelCase for JS/TS
•snake_case for Python
•Boolean variables start with is/has/should
•Avoid abbreviations unless well-known

Functions:

•Verb phrases (calculateTotal, fetchUsers)
•Clearly indicate what they do
•Same naming convention as variables

Classes:

•Noun phrases (UserRepository, PaymentService)
•PascalCase in all languages
•Descriptive, not generic

Constants:

•UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
•Grouped by domain

Documentation Requirements

Functions:

•Purpose description
•Parameter descriptions
•Return value description
•Example usage for complex functions
•Exceptions thrown

Classes:

•Class purpose and responsibility
•Usage examples
•Thread safety notes if applicable
•Important state transitions

Files:

•Module-level docstring
•Public API documentation
•Examples for complex modules

Error Handling

Checks:

•No bare except clauses
•Specific exceptions caught
•Error messages informative
•Don't silently swallow errors
•Log errors with context
•Return appropriate error responses

Examples:

Bad:

python

try:
  result = dangerous_operation()
except:
  pass

Good:

python

try:
  result = dangerous_operation()
except SpecificException as e:
  logger.error(f"Failed to perform operation: {e}", exc_info=True)
  raise ServiceUnavailableError("Operation temporarily unavailable")
