What is a Specialist Review?

It is a focused technical evaluation of a code component or architectural decision conducted from a single, expert perspective such as a Security Specialist or Performance Expert.

Can I perform a review from multiple perspectives at once?

This specific skill is optimized for a single-domain deep-dive. For comprehensive reviews involving multiple experts, the 'architecture-review' skill is recommended.

How does this differ from a standard AI code review?

While standard reviews are broad, this skill adopts a specific persona to provide deeper, expert-level insights, referencing industry standards (like OWASP for security) and providing specific implementation guidance.

Can I add custom specialists to my team?

Yes, the skill automatically creates and saves new specialist profiles to your project's 'members.yml' file if the requested role does not already exist.

Security & Testing

Conducts deep-dive code and architecture reviews from the perspective of specific domain experts like Security Specialists or Performance Engineers.

The Specialist Review skill transforms Claude into a targeted domain expert to provide high-level technical critiques within a specific project context. Unlike general code reviews, this skill focuses on a single lens—such as security, performance, or maintainability—to identify deep-seated issues that generic analysis might miss. It automatically manages a virtual 'architecture team' by persisting specialist personas, analyzes codebases using advanced search tools, and generates standardized documentation. By providing actionable recommendations, risk assessments, and code examples, it ensures that every component of your software meets professional-grade standards for its specific domain.
