How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

review

Code review with craftsman's eye. Auto-fix obvious issues, surface real bugs.

Reference @AGENTS.md for project conventions. Apply those patterns as review criteria.

Critical Rules

1. **AUTO-FIX safe obvious issues** - Don't ask permission for no-brainers 2. **HUNT FOR BUGS** - Logic errors, edge cases, race conditions first 3. **WAIT for confirmation** - On BUG/FIX, don't execute until user says "go" 4. **BE CONCISE** - One-line items, choices at END 5. **USE clickable links** - `path/to/file.ts:123` format only

Categories

| Category | What | Action | |----------|------|--------| | **[BUG]** | Logic errors, security, data loss, race conditions | Report → wait | | **[FIX]** | Type gaps, missing error handling, test gaps, slop | Report → wait | | **[AUTO]** | Unused imports, dead code, console.log, typos | Fix immediately | | **[CONSIDER]** | Refactors, style opinions, nice-to-have | Mention only |

AUTO Criteria (all must be true)

  • Zero risk of breaking behavior
  • <5 seconds to fix
  • No judgment call needed

**AUTO examples:**

  • Unused imports/variables
  • Trailing whitespace
  • Console.log (unless intentional)
  • Dead/unreachable code
  • Obvious typos in comments/strings

**NOT AUTO (needs confirmation):**

  • Removing "unused" function (might be used elsewhere)
  • Type changes (might change behavior)
  • Any logic change
  • AI slop removal (might be intentional)

Project-Specific Checks

**Always ask these questions during review:**

Can this be simpler?

  • Is there unnecessary abstraction? Could this be done with less code?
  • Are there helpers/utils being created for one-time operations?
  • Over-engineered error handling, feature flags, or backwards-compat shims?
  • Unnecessary wrapper components or HOCs?

Can we remove any code?

  • Dead code, unused exports, commented-out blocks?
  • Re-exports or barrel files (we don't use barrel files)?
  • Backwards-compatibility hacks like renamed `_vars` or `// removed` comments?
  • Types/interfaces exported but only used in the same file?

Is it DRY without premature abstraction?

  • Obvious copy-paste of entire functions or large blocks → refactor
  • But 2-3 similar lines are fine — don't abstract too early
  • The wrong abstraction is worse than duplication

Is it structured correctly?

  • **Colocate page-specific components** next to their page (not in a nested `components/` subfolder — we don't do that in route directories)
  • **General/reusable components** go in `apps/web/components/`
  • **API routes**: One resource per route, not combined data endpoints
  • **Server actions** for mutations, not POST routes
  • **Validation schemas** in separate `.validation.ts` files
  • **Helper functions** at the bottom of files, not the top
  • **All imports** at the top — no mid-file dynamic imports
  • **No barrel files** (index.ts re-exporting everything from a folder)

Does it follow project patterns? (see @AGENTS.md)

  • GET routes wrapped with `withAuth` or `withEmailAccount`?
  • Response types exported as `Awaited<ReturnType<typeof fn>>`?
  • SWR for client-side data fetching?
  • `LoadingContent` for loading/error states?
  • `useAction` from `next-safe-action/hooks` for form submissions?
  • Zod schemas with `z.infer<typeof schema>` instead of duplicate interfaces?
  • Self-documenting code? Comments explain "why" not "what"?
  • `logger.trace()` for PII fields?
  • Test changes follow `.claude/skills/testing/SKILL.md`?
  • Tests avoid mocking `@/utils/logger`?
  • If draft-generation prompt, retrieval, routing, or post-processing changed, was `apps/web/utils/ai/reply/draft-attribution.ts` `DRAFT_PIPELINE_VERSION` bumped for analytics?

Learnings check

  • Did this change teach us something that should be captured in `AGENTS.md` or this review file?
  • Are there patterns that keep coming up that we should document?

Mindset

**Inheritance Test:** Would I curse the previous author? Understand at 2am?

**Pride Test:** Would I put my name on this?

Workflow

Step 0: Determine Scope & Group Files

Auto-detect: conversation changes → staged → current diff

git diff --cached --name-only  # or HEAD

**Group files by area/dependency:**

Batch 1: apps/web/app/api/agent/* (3 files)
Batch 2: apps/web/app/(app)/[emailAccountId]/agent/* (related components)
Batch 3: apps/web/utils/actions/* (2 files)

**Output:** `Found X files in Y batches`

──────────

Step 1: Create Review Plan (TODO)

**BEFORE reading any file content**, create todo list:

- [ ] Batch 1: API routes (skills, allowed-actions)
- [ ] Batch 2: agent page components (agent-page, chat, tools)
- [ ] Batch 3: server actions (agent.ts, agent.validation.ts)

Use `todo_write` to track batches.

──────────

Step 2: Process Each Batch

**For each batch:**

1. Read diff for batch files only (`git diff --cached -- path/to/files`) 2. Review & categorize issues 3. Auto-fix [AUTO] items immediately 4. Note [BUG]/[FIX]/[CONSIDER] items 5. Mark batch complete in todos

**Issue format:**

1. **[BUG]** Race condition in concurrent saves — `src/db.ts:45`
2. **[FIX]** Missing error boundary — `src/App.tsx:12`
3. **[CONSIDER]** Extract to custom hook — `src/Form.tsx:34`

**After each batch:**

Batch 1 done: AUTO: 2 fixed | BUG: 1 | FIX: 2

──────────

Step 3: Summary & Options (After All Batches)

Total: BUG: X | FIX: X | CONSIDER: X (auto-fixed: Y)

Issues:
1. [BUG] ... — `path:line`
2. [FIX] ... — `path:line`

What to fix?
- a) BUG + FIX [recommended]
- b) BUG only
- c) All including CONSIDER
- d) Custom (e.g., "1,3")

I'll assume a) if you don't specify.

Learnings:
- Any patterns worth adding to AGENTS.md?
- Any new review checks to add to this file?

**STOP. Wait for selection.**

──────────

Step 4: Execute Fixes

Process fixes batch-by-batch (same grouping):

1. Update todo list with selected fixes 2. For each batch
