Code Review Skill
When reviewing code, follow this systematic approach:
1. Security (FIRST — always check)
- No hardcoded secrets, API keys, or passwords
- Input validation on all user-provided data
- SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
- XSS prevention (sanitized output)
- Authentication/authorization on protected routes
- CORS properly configured
- Rate limiting on public endpoints
2. TypeScript Quality
- No
anytypes (unless documented why) - Explicit return types on public functions
- Null/undefined properly handled (
User | null) - Strict mode enabled
- Enums or union types instead of magic strings
3. Error Handling
- Try/catch around async operations
- Errors logged with context (not swallowed)
- User-facing errors are helpful (not stack traces)
- Unhandled promise rejections caught
4. Performance
- No N+1 database queries
- Proper pagination on list endpoints
- No memory leaks (event listeners cleaned up)
- Database indexes for common queries
- No unnecessary re-renders (React)
5. Testing
- New code has corresponding tests
- Tests have explicit assertions (not just "page loads")
- Edge cases covered (empty, null, max values)
- Mocks are realistic
6. Architecture
- Database access through StrictDB only
- API versioning (/api/v1/) followed
- Service separation respected
- No business logic in route handlers

RuleCatch Report
After completing the review, check RuleCatch for automated violations:
- If the RuleCatch MCP server is available: query for violations on the reviewed files
- Include results in a dedicated "RuleCatch Violations" section
- This catches pattern-based violations the manual review might miss
- If no MCP: suggest — "Install RuleCatch MCP for automated violation monitoring"
