Review

Review — Pre-Deploy Security & Quality Check

Review all pending changes for security vulnerabilities, credential leaks, and quality issues.

Steps

1. Gather changes:

   • git diff (unstaged) and git diff --staged (staged)
   • If no local changes, diff against the base branch: git diff main...HEAD (or master)

2. Security scan — check the diff for:

   • Credential leaks: API keys, passwords, tokens, secrets, .env values hardcoded in source
   • SQL injection: raw user input in queries without parameterization
   • XSS: unescaped user input rendered in HTML/JSX
   • Command injection: user input passed to shell commands
   • IDOR: missing authorization checks on endpoints that access resources by ID
   • Debug code: var_dump, console.log with sensitive data, dd(), leftover die() calls
   • .env changes: flag if .env was modified — it should almost never be committed
   • API key exposure: LLM API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic), payment keys (Stripe), auth secrets hardcoded in client-side code
   • Prompt injection: user input concatenated directly into LLM prompts without sanitization
   • SSRF: user-controlled URLs passed to server-side fetch/curl without validation

3. Quality scan — check for:

   • Incomplete implementations (TODO/FIXME/HACK comments in new code)
   • Error handling gaps (empty catch blocks, swallowed exceptions)
   • Obvious logic errors
   • Files that look accidentally included (.DS_Store, node_modules, compiled assets)

4. Report:

   • If issues found: list each with file, line, and severity (CRITICAL / WARNING / INFO)
   • If clean: confirm with a one-line "all clear"
   • Keep the report concise — no filler

Rules

• NEVER modify code during review — only report findings
• Focus on the diff, not the entire codebase
• CRITICAL issues = must fix before deploy (credentials, injection, auth bypass)
• WARNING = should fix (debug code, missing error handling)
• INFO = nice to fix (style, minor improvements)
• Delegate to an Explore agent if the diff is very large (50+ files)
