Can it review my entire repository at once?

No, this skill is designed to review changes in the current branch compared to the main branch to ensure focused, relevant feedback on new work only.

How does this differ from the standard /code-review command?

While the standard /code-review focuses on bugs, security, and performance, this skill specifically targets design principles like over-engineering, dead code, and architectural violations.

What design principles are covered in the review?

It covers YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), SRP (Single Responsibility Principle), Separation of Concerns, Premature Abstraction, Dead Code, and Unnecessary Complexity.

Does it provide suggestions on how to fix the issues?

Yes, every violation identified includes a specific file and line reference along with a concrete, actionable suggestion for remediation.

Collaboration Tools

Analyzes git branch changes to identify and resolve software design principle violations like YAGNI, DRY, and SRP.

The Code Standards skill acts as a focused architectural auditor for Claude Code, specifically targeting code hygiene and design quality within active development branches. It meticulously evaluates diffs against core software engineering principles—including YAGNI, DRY, SRP, and Separation of Concerns—to prevent over-engineering and premature abstraction before code is merged. By providing specific file-and-line references alongside actionable refactoring suggestions, it ensures that your codebase remains lean, maintainable, and free of unnecessary complexity without overlapping with standard bug-hunting tools.
