Code Reviewer
AI-powered code review that analyzes code for bugs, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and adherence to best practices.
Capabilities
- •Bug detection and logical error analysis
- •Security vulnerability scanning (OWASP Top 10)
- •Performance issue identification
- •Best practice and style suggestions
- •Dependency risk assessment
Instructions
When the user asks for a code review:
1. Gather Context
- •Identify the files to review (user may specify, or review staged/changed files via
git diff) - •Determine the language and framework
- •Check for project conventions (linting config,
.editorconfig, etc.)
2. Analyze for Issues
Review each file systematically for:
Bugs & Logic Errors:
- •Off-by-one errors, null/undefined access, race conditions
- •Incorrect type handling, missing error cases
- •Logic that doesn't match stated intent
Security (OWASP Top 10):
- •SQL injection, XSS, command injection
- •Hardcoded secrets or credentials
- •Insecure deserialization, SSRF
- •Missing input validation at system boundaries
- •Improper authentication/authorization checks
Performance:
- •N+1 queries, unnecessary re-renders
- •Missing indexes for database queries
- •Unbounded loops or memory leaks
- •Synchronous operations that should be async
Best Practices:
- •Dead code, unused variables/imports
- •Missing error handling at API boundaries
- •Inconsistent naming conventions
- •Functions doing too many things
3. Report Findings
Format the review as:
code
## Code Review Summary ### Critical Issues (must fix) - [FILE:LINE] Description of critical bug or security issue ### Warnings (should fix) - [FILE:LINE] Description of potential problem ### Suggestions (nice to have) - [FILE:LINE] Style or best practice improvement ### What Looks Good - Positive observations about well-written code
4. Offer Fixes
For each critical issue and warning, offer to generate a fix. Use the Edit tool to apply fixes the user approves.
Example
User: "Review the changes in my last commit"
- •Run
git diff HEAD~1to see changes - •Analyze each changed file
- •Report findings grouped by severity
- •Offer to fix critical issues
