• Deep nesting / complex conditionals
• Magic numbers/strings
• Poor naming
• Missing error handling

Common Patterns to Flag

Security

// BAD: SQL injection
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;

// GOOD: Parameterized query
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1';
await db.query(query, [userId]);

Performance

// BAD: N+1 query
users.forEach(async user => {
  const posts = await getPosts(user.id);
});

// GOOD: Batch query
const userIds = users.map(u => u.id);
const posts = await getPostsForUsers(userIds);

Error Handling

// BAD: Swallowing errors
try {
  await riskyOperation();
} catch (e) {}

// GOOD: Handle or propagate
try {
  await riskyOperation();
} catch (e) {
  logger.error('Operation failed', { error: e });
  throw new AppError('Operation failed', { cause: e });
}

Review Checklist

• No hardcoded secrets
• Input validation present
• Error handling complete
• Types/interfaces defined
• Tests added for new code
• No obvious performance issues
• Code is readable and documented
• Breaking changes documented
