Does it understand my project's unique conventions?

Yes, the skill is designed to read steering documents from the .spec/steering/ directory to ensure feedback aligns with your specific project patterns.

What is a Linus-style code review?

It is an opinionated review style that prioritizes functional correctness, simplicity, and 'showing the code' over theoretical perfection or excessive abstractions.

What kind of issues are considered 'Critical'?

Critical issues include logic errors, race conditions, resource leaks, and unhandled error conditions that could cause system failure or data loss.

How do I invoke the review skill?

You can use the command /sdd-review followed by a file path, directory, git diff range (e.g., HEAD~3..HEAD), or a PR number.

Can this skill help prevent regressions?

Yes, part of the workflow involves identifying affected files and running relevant tests to verify that changes haven't introduced new bugs.

コラボレーションツール

Performs rigorous, opinionated code reviews focused on correctness, simplicity, and architectural maintainability.

SDD Code Review is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to emulate the "Linus Torvalds" approach to software engineering, prioritizing functional correctness and minimal complexity over superficial style points. It moves beyond standard linting by evaluating code against project-specific steering documents and specifications (SDD workflow), ensuring that every change aligns with the intended design. The skill provides a structured, tiered feedback system that categorizes issues into critical blockers, warnings, and suggestions, making it an essential tool for maintaining high-integrity codebases.

主な機能
