What methodology does the General Code Review skill follow?

It is based on the 5-step code review methodology used at Google, which includes Pre-screening, Understanding, Verifying, Optimizing, and Style Checking.

Does this skill help with large pull requests?

Yes, the Pre-screen step specifically checks for change size and recommends breaking down any PRs over ~300 lines of code into smaller, manageable parts.

How does it verify test coverage?

The skill checks for specific test categories including architectural design decisions, default values, complex algorithmic logic, and various edge cases like null or boundary conditions.

Can I use this for any programming language?

Yes, the methodology is language-agnostic and focuses on logical correctness, architectural intent, and general maintainability standards applicable to any codebase.

Will it catch performance issues?

Yes, the 'Optimize' step focuses on logic simplification, reducing unnecessary computations, and ensuring the most efficient libraries are being utilized.
