What it is

code-review-and-quality is a code review skill from Addy Osmani's pack. Its source describes a five-axis review: correctness, readability, architecture, security, and performance.

Why it is useful

It gives agents a review rubric that is broader than linting and narrower than generic feedback. The skill is especially useful after agent-generated changes, where regressions can hide behind plausible-looking code.

Best uses

  • Reviewing a PR or local diff before merge.
  • Checking code produced by another agent.
  • Reviewing a bug fix together with its regression test.

Notes

Pair it with the repository's own test commands. A review skill can surface risks, but it should not replace running the checks.
