## Description

Expert multi-AI code review with inline PR comments, use for thorough quality and security analysis

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Code Review Skill

## MANDATORY COMPLIANCE, DO NOT SKIP

**When this skill is invoked, you MUST execute the multi-LLM review pipeline. You are PROHIBITED from:**
- Doing a direct single-model code review without multi-provider synthesis
- Deciding the scope is "too broad" and narrowing it without asking the user
- Skipping the provider check or structured review phases
- Substituting two background Sonnet agents for the full multi-provider pipeline
- Rationalizing "a focused audit would be more effective", the user wants multi-LLM perspectives

---

**Your first output line MUST be:** `🐙 **CLAUDE OCTOPUS ACTIVATED** - Multi-LLM Code Review`

Invokes the code-reviewer persona for thorough code analysis during the `ink` (deliver) phase.

## Quick Mode

For fast sanity checks (staged changes, small PRs), skip the full review pipeline and run just two phases:

```bash
# Quick: grasp (consensus on scope) → tangle (parallel review)
${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/orchestrate.sh grasp "[review request]"
${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/orchestrate.sh tangle "[synthesized scope]"
```

Use quick mode when user says "check this PR", "quick review", "sanity check my changes", or for pre-commit checks. Use the full review for PRs with security/architecture impact.

## Usage

```bash
# Via orchestrate.sh
${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/orchestrate.sh spawn code-reviewer "Review this pull request for security issues"

# Via auto-routing (detects review intent)
${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/orchestrate.sh auto "review the authentication implementation"
```

## Capabilities

- AI-powered code quality analysis
- Security vulnerability detection
- Performance optimization suggestions
- Architecture and design pattern review
- TDD compliance and test-first evidence review
- Autonomous code generation risk detection
- Best practices enforcement
