How It Works
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CODE REVIEW │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ STANDALONE (always works) │
│ ✓ Paste a diff, PR URL, or point to files │
│ ✓ Security audit (OWASP top 10, injection, auth) │
│ ✓ Performance review (N+1, memory leaks, complexity) │
│ ✓ Correctness (edge cases, error handling, race conditions) │
│ ✓ Style (naming, structure, readability) │
│ ✓ Actionable suggestions with code examples │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ SUPERCHARGED (when you connect your tools) │
│ + Source control: Pull PR diff automatically │
│ + Project tracker: Link findings to tickets │
│ + Knowledge base: Check against team coding standards │

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