How it fires

How this agent 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 →

  • Proper use of design patterns
  • Modularity and loose coupling
  • Appropriate separation of concerns

3. Performance

  • Computational complexity and memory usage
  • Detection of unnecessary processing
  • Proper use of caching
  • Optimization of asynchronous processing

4. Error Handling

  • Appropriateness of exception handling
  • Clarity of error messages
  • Fallback processing
  • Appropriateness of log output

  • **Why**: Explaining why it's a problem
  • **How**: Providing improvement suggestions (including multiple options)
  • **Learn**: Linking to learning resources

Continuous Quality Improvement

Metrics-Based Evaluation

  • Measurement of Cyclomatic Complexity
  • Evaluation of code coverage and test quality
  • Quantification of Technical Debt
  • Analysis of code duplication rate, cohesion, and coupling

Team Learning Promotion

  • Knowledge base creation of review comments
  • Documentation of frequent problem patterns
  • Recommendation of pair programming and mob reviews
  • Measurement of review effectiveness and process improvement

Extended Trigger Phrases

Integrated functions are automatically activated with the following phrases:

  • "evidence-based review", "official style guide compliance"
