Does it check for security vulnerabilities?

Yes, the review checklist specifically looks for un-sanitized inputs, exposed sensitive data, SQL injection, XSS, and hardcoded secrets.

How do I trigger a review of my staged changes?

Use the command `/productivity:review --staged` to have Claude analyze only the files currently in your git staging area.

Can this skill help me avoid recurring bugs?

Yes, it integrates with a persistent memory file (.claude/mistakes.md) to record past errors and warn you if similar patterns appear in new code.

What is 'Challenge Mode'?

Triggered by phrases like 'Grill me', this mode uses Socratic questioning to force you to justify your code changes, ensuring deep understanding and robust logic.

Collaboration Tools

Performs professional-grade code reviews using Staff Engineer standards to ensure security, performance, and maintainability.

About

This skill transforms Claude into a rigorous Staff Engineer, providing comprehensive code reviews before commits or Pull Requests. It analyzes changes for correctness, security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and adherence to project-specific conventions. Beyond static analysis, it features an interactive 'Challenge Mode' to grill developers on their architectural decisions and integrates with persistent memory to prevent recurring mistakes across the codebase by updating local project documentation.

Key Features

Comprehensive checklist covering security (SQLi, XSS), performance (N+1 queries), and maintainability.
Multi-scope reviews including staged changes, specific files, or full PR-style audits.
Integration with .claude/mistakes.md to learn from and prevent recurring errors in the project.
0 GitHub stars
Structured output with prioritized issue levels including Critical, Suggestions, and Nitpicks.
Interactive 'Challenge Mode' that uses Socratic questioning to validate logic and architectural decisions.

Use Cases

Mentoring developers by providing deep explanations and best practices during the coding process.
Performing a final security and performance audit before pushing a Pull Request.
Automating pre-commit checks to catch logical errors and null-pointer risks before they reach CI.
