Code Review Claude Skill — Get Senior Engineer Feedback on Every PR

Good code reviews catch bugs before production, enforce consistency, spread knowledge across the team, and improve code quality over time. But in practice — solo developers skip them, small teams do them inconsistently, and even large teams rush them under deadline pressure.

The Code Review Skill makes Claude your always-available senior engineer reviewer. Every diff, every commit, every time — without waiting for a teammate.

What Claude Checks in a Code Review

With the Code Review Skill installed, Claude reviews your code across multiple dimensions:

Bugs and logic errors — off-by-one errors, null pointer risks, incorrect conditionals, race conditions, unhandled edge cases.

Security issues — SQL injection risks, unvalidated user input, exposed secrets, insecure dependencies, authentication bypasses, XSS vulnerabilities.

Performance concerns — N+1 query problems, unnecessary re-renders, missing memoisation, inefficient algorithms, memory leaks.

Code quality — unclear variable names, overly complex functions, missing error handling, dead code, duplicated logic.

Best practices — conventions for your specific stack, patterns that match your existing codebase, TypeScript type safety.

Test coverage — missing test cases, untested edge cases, brittle test patterns.

How to Use Claude for Code Reviews

Once the skill is installed, you can ask Claude to review code in several ways:

Review a specific file:

Review this component for bugs and improvements
[paste code]

Review a diff before committing:

Review this git diff before I commit it
[paste git diff output]

Review with specific focus:

Review this API route for security issues specifically
[paste code]

Review for a junior developer:

Review this code and explain each issue in detail as if teaching a junior developer
[paste code]

How to Install the Code Review Skill

1. Visit rohansurve.in/rohankit/skills/code-review for the install guide
2. Run in your terminal:

npx skills add code-review

1. The SKILL.md installs in your project root
2. Start asking Claude to review code immediately

Why This Is Different From Just Asking Claude to Review Code

Without the skill, Claude reviews code generically — it doesn't know your stack, your conventions, your security requirements, or what patterns matter in your specific codebase.

With the skill, Claude reviews code with full context — it knows you are using Next.js App Router, Neon PostgreSQL, Firebase Auth, Tailwind CSS. It flags issues that are specific to your architecture, not just generic code smells.

Combine the Code Review Skill with the Next.js Full Stack Skill or Flutter Development Skill for maximum accuracy.

For Solo Developers — This Is Especially Valuable

Solo developers have no one to review their code. Shipping without any review is how bugs reach production and technical debt accumulates quietly. The Code Review Skill gives you a reviewer that is always available, never rushed, and never skips the uncomfortable feedback.
