name: code-review description: Review code changes for security, performance, and correctness. Trigger with a PR URL or diff, "review this before I merge", "is this code safe?", or when checking a change for N+1 queries, injection risks, missing edge cases, or error handling gaps. argument-hint: "<PR URL, diff, or file path>"

Review Dimensions

Security

• SQL injection, XSS, CSRF
• Authentication and authorization flaws
• Secrets or credentials in code
• Insecure deserialization
• Path traversal
• SSRF

Performance

• N+1 queries
• Unnecessary memory allocations
• Algorithmic complexity (O(n²) in hot paths)
• Missing database indexes
• Unbounded queries or loops
• Resource leaks

Correctness

• Edge cases (empty input, null, overflow)
• Race conditions and concurrency issues
• Error handling and propagation
• Off-by-one errors
• Type safety

Maintainability

• Naming clarity
• Single responsibility
• Duplication
• Test coverage
• Documentation for non-obvious logic

Output

## Code Review: [PR title or file]

### Summary
[1-2 sentence overview of the changes and overall quality]

### Critical Issues
| # | File | Line | Issue | Severity |
|---|------|------|-------|----------|
| 1 | [file] | [line] | [description] | 🔴 Critical |

### Suggestions
| # | File | Line | Suggestion | Category |
|---|------|------|------------|----------|
| 1 | [file] | [line] | [description] | Performance |

### What Looks Good
- [Positive observations]

### Verdict
[Approve / Request Changes / Needs Discussion]

If Connectors Available

If ~~source control is connected:

• Pull the PR diff automatically from the URL
• Check CI status and test results

If ~~project tracker is connected:

• Link findings to related tickets
• Verify the PR addresses the stated requirements

If ~~knowledge base is connected:

• Check changes against team coding standards and style guides

Tips

1. Provide context — "This is a hot path" or "This handles PII" helps me focus.
2. Specify concerns — "Focus on security" narrows the review.
3. Include tests — I'll check test coverage and quality too.
