What problem does it solve?
This Skill fills critical gaps in standard code reviews by catching high-impact, easy-to-miss defects that prose reads often overlook, reducing post-merge bugs and documentation debt from unreferenced components, leftover rule violations, and incorrect ADR reasoning.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Reference Graph Pre-Read Pass: Confirms components are imported by deliverable-producing code and documented parameters are actually read at runtime, surfacing "defined but unreferenced" and "documented but unread" defects in seconds via fast grep checks.
- Full-File Residual Scans: Reviews all repository files (not just PR scope) for leftover rule violations after remediation, classifying residuals as pre-existing or missed in scope to prevent false-alarm triage post-merge.
- ADR Factual Cross-Checks: Validates ADR technical claims against authoritative code comments to catch incorrect reasoning even when conclusions are correct, preventing future authors from adopting wrong mental models.
- Use Case: Ideal for use alongside the base code-review skill when reviewing components or model pipelines, SonarCloud/single-rule remediation PRs, or ADRs that document technical constraints.
Quick Start
Use the code-review-extras skill alongside the base code-review skill when reviewing a component's wiring, a remediation PR for residual rule alerts, or an ADR for factual accuracy against code comments.
