What is commit hygiene in this context?

It refers to identifying inappropriate files like build artifacts, IDE configs, or temporary logs, as well as removing debug prints and breakpoints before a commit is finalized.

Can this skill find code that should be replaced by existing utilities?

Yes, during Phase 2 of the review, it specifically searches for local project utilities or standard library functions that could replace new, redundant code blocks.

Does the skill automatically modify my code?

No, it generates a structured, actionable report with recommendations. Final implementation and merge decisions remain with the developer or maintainer.

How does this skill handle documentation checks?

It validates that every folder has a README, source files have companion documentation, and that comments focus on 'why' something was done rather than historical 'what changed' comparisons.

What is the primary purpose of the Review Standard skill?

It provides a consistent, systematic process for reviewing code, specifically focusing on documentation quality, code reuse, and preventing the commitment of debug code.

Enforces rigorous code quality and documentation standards through systematic analysis of diffs and project structure.

Acerca de

The Review Standard skill provides a structured framework for Claude to perform high-quality code reviews. It focuses on ensuring documentation compliance, identifying opportunities for code reuse, and maintaining architectural integrity. By following a three-phase process—validating documentation, assessing local utility reuse, and performing deep architectural analysis—this skill helps development teams prevent 'reinventing the wheel' and keeps codebases clean of debug artifacts or unnecessary indirection before they reach the main branch.
