Code Reviewer

Code Reviewer

AI-powered code review that analyzes code for bugs, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and adherence to best practices.

Capabilities

• Bug detection and logical error analysis
• Security vulnerability scanning (OWASP Top 10)
• Performance issue identification
• Best practice and style suggestions
• Dependency risk assessment

Instructions

When the user asks for a code review:

1. Gather Context

• Identify the files to review (user may specify, or review staged/changed files via git diff)
• Determine the language and framework
• Check for project conventions (linting config, .editorconfig, etc.)

2. Analyze for Issues

Review each file systematically for:

Bugs & Logic Errors:

• Off-by-one errors, null/undefined access, race conditions
• Incorrect type handling, missing error cases
• Logic that doesn't match stated intent

Security (OWASP Top 10):

• SQL injection, XSS, command injection
• Hardcoded secrets or credentials
• Insecure deserialization, SSRF
• Missing input validation at system boundaries
• Improper authentication/authorization checks

Performance:

• N+1 queries, unnecessary re-renders
• Missing indexes for database queries
• Unbounded loops or memory leaks
• Synchronous operations that should be async

Best Practices:

• Dead code, unused variables/imports
• Missing error handling at API boundaries
• Inconsistent naming conventions
• Functions doing too many things

3. Report Findings

Format the review as:

## Code Review Summary

### Critical Issues (must fix)
- [FILE:LINE] Description of critical bug or security issue

### Warnings (should fix)
- [FILE:LINE] Description of potential problem

### Suggestions (nice to have)
- [FILE:LINE] Style or best practice improvement

### What Looks Good
- Positive observations about well-written code

4. Offer Fixes

For each critical issue and warning, offer to generate a fix. Use the Edit tool to apply fixes the user approves.

Example

User: "Review the changes in my last commit"

1. Run git diff HEAD~1 to see changes
2. Analyze each changed file
3. Report findings grouped by severity
4. Offer to fix critical issues
