Code Review

Code Review Skill

Use this skill when asked to review a diff, PR, or set of changed files. Follow every step in order. Do not skip sections.

Step 1: Establish Context

Before reviewing any code, read the following in order:

1. The PR description (or task description if reviewing locally).
2. .agent/context/CODEBASE-MAP.md to understand where the changed files fit.
3. Any referenced ADRs in .agent/context/adr/ if the change touches architecture.

Step 2: Run the Checklist

For every changed file, evaluate each category below. Log every finding with a severity level.

Security (persona: security-auditor)

• No hardcoded secrets, tokens, or credentials.
• All user input validated at the boundary (Zod schema present).
• No raw SQL string concatenation.
• No dangerouslySetInnerHTML or equivalent without justification.
• Auth/authorisation middleware applied to all new routes.

Correctness

• Does the logic match the stated intent of the PR?
• Are edge cases handled (empty arrays, null values, concurrent requests)?
• Are errors caught and handled, not silently swallowed?

Architecture

• Does the change respect layer boundaries (controller → service → repository)?
• Is there any circular dependency introduced?
• Does it contradict any accepted ADR?

Testing

• Are new behaviours covered by unit tests?
• Do tests follow the should_X_when_Y naming convention?
• Is coverage maintained above 80%?

Code Style

• Does the code follow .agent/rules/02-code-style.md?
• Are there any TODO/FIXME comments without a ticket reference?

Step 3: Classify & Report Findings

Use this exact output format:

## Code Review Summary

**Files Reviewed:** <count>
**Overall Assessment:** APPROVED | APPROVED WITH COMMENTS | CHANGES REQUESTED

### Findings

| Severity | File | Line | Issue | Recommendation |
|----------|------|------|-------|----------------|
| 🔴 Critical | auth/service.ts | 42 | JWT not validated before use | Add `verifyToken()` call before accessing `req.user` |
| 🟡 Warning  | user/controller.ts | 18 | Missing input validation | Add Zod schema for `req.body` |
| 🔵 Note     | shared/utils.ts | 7 | Minor naming inconsistency | Rename `getData` to `fetchUserById` for clarity |
