Is this a replacement for automated linting tools?

No, it is designed to complement them. The skill specifically advises offloading formatting and linting to automated tools so human reviewers can focus on complex logic, security, and architectural fit.

Does this skill help with team conflict during reviews?

Absolutely. It provides specific communication patterns like the 'Question Approach' and 'Collaborative Language' to keep feedback objective, focused on the code rather than the person, and constructive.

How does this skill improve code review speed?

It provides structured phases (Context, High-Level, Line-by-Line) and checklists that help reviewers focus on what matters most, reducing time spent on minor formatting issues that should be handled by linters.

Can I use this for specific programming languages?

Yes, it includes specialized patterns and common pitfalls to watch for in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript environments, such as mutable default arguments or type safety violations.
