What the skill teaches

A code review skill kept in the VS Code repository's .github folder for checking proposed changes, from a PR or branch to a patch or uncommitted edits. The agent first works out what the change is meant to do from the request, PR description and linked issue, then gathers the full diff against the right base and traces the changed behaviour through callers, dependencies and tests. It looks for wrong logic and broken edge cases, regressions, missing error handling, unsafe assumptions about ordering, concurrency or object lifetime, tests that would pass without the fix, and changes unrelated to the goal. Each finding gives impact, trigger conditions, the smallest relevant line range and why it is wrong, ordered by severity.

Capabilities

  • Establish the intended change from the PR description and linked issue
  • Trace changed behaviour through callers, dependencies and tests
  • Flag regressions, unsafe concurrency or lifetime assumptions and weak tests
  • Report findings by severity with the exact line range
