/forge-app-review

name: forge-app-review
description: >
  Performs a lightweight pre-release readiness review of Atlassian Forge apps across manifest/module wiring,
  architecture, runtime compatibility, dependency posture, tests, deploy readiness, and obvious security,
  cost, or reliability smells. Use when the user asks "review my Forge app", "pre-deploy check",
  "is this app ready to ship", "review manifest", "general app review", "release readiness", or asks for a
  broad quality pass. Do not use for deep security audits/SAST/exploitability review, cost optimization,
  or diagnosing a known broken app; route those to forge-security-review, forge-cost-optimizer, or
  forge-debugger respectively.

Forge App Review

Run a general Forge release-readiness review. This skill is the front door for broad app review, not a replacement for specialist security, cost, or debugging skills.

Boundaries

Use this skill for:

• Pre-deploy and release-readiness checks.
• General architecture and maintainability review.
• Manifest/module/resource/function wiring.
• Runtime, dependency, package, and script sanity checks.
• Basic tests/deploy readiness and operational hygiene.
• Obvious security, cost, or reliability smells that should trigger a deeper specialist pass.

Use another skill instead when the user's primary intent is:

• Deep security audit, SAST, authz, secrets, tenant isolation, exploitability, or CVSS reporting -> `forge-security-review`.
• Cost optimization, invocations, GB-seconds, storage/log volume, trigger frequency, or memory tuning -> `forge-cost-optimizer`.
• A known failure, error message, blank UI, failed deploy/install, broken resolver, missing app, or logs/tunnel diagnosis -> `forge-debugger`.

If a broad review finds a deep security/cost/debug concern, include it as a handoff recommendation rather than duplicating the specialist workflow.

Review Rules

• Audit first. Do not modify app files unless the user explicitly asks to apply fixes.
• Read the codebase before making claims.
• Prefer concrete file/line evidence.
• Keep findings focused on bugs, release blockers, meaningful risks, and missing validation.
• Do not run full SAST or cost tooling from this skill. Recommend the specialist skill when warranted.
• Do not report speculative security or cost observations as confirmed vulnerabilities or savings.

Module & Capability Routing

Detect modules declared in `manifest.yml` or package dependencies, and load specific review guides:

• **Teamwork Graph / Forge Connectors:**
• If the app declares `graph:connector`, `teamwork-graph-connector`, or imports `@forge/teamwork-graph`:
• 👉 **Follow and evaluate against [`./modules/connector-review.md`](./modules/connector-review.md)**.

Workflow

1. Read `manifest.yml` or `manifest.yaml`.

• Identify modules, resources, functions, resolver bindings, triggers, web triggers, remotes, permissions, runtime, and memory settings.
• Verify referenced handlers/resources exist.

2. Read `package.json`.

• Check Forge package fit, scripts, runtime assumptions, direct dependencies, and obvious unused/missing packages.

3. Inspect source files.

• Backend/resolvers: `resolver.define`, handler exports, product API calls, storage usage, external fetches, logging, error handling.
• Frontend: UI Kit or Custom UI resource entry points, `invoke()` patterns, bridge usage, loading/error states.

4. Inspect tests and project docs when present.

• Note missing tests only when behavior risk justifies it.

5. Produce a prioritized readiness report.

What To Check

Release Blockers

• Manifest references a missing handler, resource path, or module key.
• Resolver names called by the frontend do not match `resolver.define()` names.
• Required scopes or egress permissions are missing for actual API/fetch usage.
• Runtime, package versions, or module syntax likely fail `forge lint`, build, deploy, or install.
• App has no clear way to exercise its primary user flow.

Architecture And Maintainability

• Module type matches the intended UX surface.
• Resolver boundaries are coherent and not overly monolithic for the app size.
• Sensitive or privileged logic stays backend-side.
• UI-only formatting/transforms are not unnecessarily forced through backend functions.
• Error handling is sufficient for user-facing workflows.
• Code organization matches existing project style.

Lightweight Security Signals

Only flag obvious signals and recommend `forge-security-review` for deep validation:

• Broad/write/admin scopes without visible usage.
• `api.asApp()` in user-triggered resolvers without obvious authorization checks.
• Hardcoded credentials or token-like literals.
• External fetches without manifest egress entries.
• Web triggers without visible authentication strategy.
• Full payload/request logging that may expose user, tenant, or secret data.

Lightweight Cost Signals

Only flag obvious signals and recommend `forge-cost-optimizer` for deep analysis:

• Resolver invoked only to return static data or product context.
• Multiple independent `invoke()` calls on page load.
• Scheduled triggers that look like broad polling.
• Product triggers without filters or `ignoreSelf` where applicable.
• Full payload/API response logging in hot paths.
• Storage writes on every invocation.

Lightweight Debuggability Signals

Only flag readiness gaps; use `forge-debugger` when there is an observed failure:

• Missing loading/error states around async UI paths.
• Logs are either too noisy or absent around important failures.
• README or scripts do not explain how to lint/build/deploy/test.
• App has no obvious local verification command besides `forge lint`.

Output Format

Return a concise Markdown report. **Findings must be a table** (not a numbered list). Include a **Source** column for every finding so the reader knows which review guide or area produced it.

**Source values** (use the most specific that applies — Source is the
