What the skill teaches
A skill from Matt Pocock's collection that has the agent review everything changed since a commit, branch or tag the user names. After checking that the reference resolves and the diff is not empty, it looks for the originating issue or spec and for the repository's own coding-standard files, then starts two sub-agents in parallel: one checks the diff against the documented standards plus a fixed list of Fowler code smells, the other checks it against the spec for missing, extra or wrongly built behaviour. Their reports come back side by side under separate headings with a count of findings and the most serious issue for each, never merged into one ranking.
Capabilities
- Review the diff between HEAD and a chosen commit, branch or tag
- Check changes against the repository's documented coding standards
- Flag Fowler code smells as judgement calls
- Check changes against the originating issue or spec
- Run the standards and spec reviews as parallel sub-agents
