Code Review Skill
When reviewing code, follow this comprehensive checklist:
1. Correctness
- •Does the code do what it's supposed to do?
- •Are edge cases handled?
- •Is the logic correct?
- •Are there any off-by-one errors?
2. Security
- •Input validation present?
- •No SQL injection vulnerabilities?
- •No XSS vulnerabilities?
- •Secrets not hardcoded?
- •Proper authentication/authorization?
3. Performance
- •No unnecessary loops or iterations?
- •Efficient data structures used?
- •Database queries optimized?
- •No N+1 query problems?
4. Maintainability
- •Code is readable and self-documenting?
- •Functions/methods are focused (single responsibility)?
- •Appropriate naming conventions?
- •No magic numbers/strings?
5. Testing
- •Unit tests included?
- •Edge cases tested?
- •Tests are meaningful (not just for coverage)?
6. Documentation
- •Public APIs documented?
- •Complex logic explained?
- •README updated if needed?
Review Feedback Guidelines
