When & Why to Use This Skill

The code-review-trigger skill is an intelligent natural language wrapper designed to streamline the software development process. It proactively detects developer intent to inspect code, identify bugs, or validate quality, automatically triggering the comprehensive /code-review command. By bridging the gap between conversational requests and technical execution, it ensures high code standards and security without requiring users to remember specific command syntax.

Use Cases

  • Instant Bug Detection: Automatically initiate a deep scan for logic errors or vulnerabilities by simply asking Claude to 'check this file for bugs' or 'find issues'.
  • Pre-merge Quality Validation: Streamline the pull request process by requesting a review of 'recent changes' or 'new commits' using natural language prompts.
  • Security and Performance Auditing: Trigger multi-aspect analysis of sensitive logic, such as authentication or API endpoints, by asking Claude to 'audit' or 'inspect' specific modules.
  • Workflow Friction Reduction: Enhance developer productivity by allowing team members to interact with complex code analysis tools through intuitive, conversational commands instead of manual slash commands.

code-review-trigger

Type: ANALYSIS-ONLY DAIC Modes: DISCUSS, ALIGN, IMPLEMENT, CHECK (all modes) Priority: High

Trigger Reference

This skill activates on:

  • Keywords: "review code", "code review", "check for bugs", "validate code", "find issues", "analyze code", "check quality", "code quality", "review this", "check this code", "inspect code", "audit code", "review changes", "review file"
  • Intent Patterns: (review|check|validate|analyze).*?(code|file|changes|this), (find|detect|look for).*?(bug|issue|problem|error), code.*?quality, (inspect|audit).*?(code|file|changes)

From: skill-rules.json - code-review-trigger configuration

Purpose

Automatically trigger the /code-review slash command when users express intent to review code, check for bugs, or validate code quality using natural language. This skill eliminates the need to remember the exact /code-review syntax.

Core Behavior

In any DAIC mode:

  1. Natural Language Detection

    • Detect when user wants code review without using slash command
    • Examples: "Review this code", "Check for bugs", "Is this code good?"
    • Automatically invoke /code-review with appropriate arguments

  2. Context Extraction

    • Extract what should be reviewed from user's message
    • Examples: "Review src/auth.js" → args: "src/auth.js"
    • "Check for bugs in recent changes" → args: "recent changes"
    • "Review this" (with file in context) → args: infer from context

  3. Slash Command Invocation

    • Call /code-review command with extracted arguments
    • Pass through to multi-aspect parallel code review system
    • Return results to user

Natural Language Examples

Triggers this skill:

  • ✓ "Review this code"
  • ✓ "Check for bugs in src/"
  • ✓ "Validate code quality"
  • ✓ "Find issues in my changes"
  • ✓ "Analyze this file for problems"
  • ✓ "Code review the recent commits"
  • ✓ "Inspect the authentication logic"
  • ✓ "Audit the API endpoints"

Does NOT trigger (too generic):

  • ✗ "Code" (just mentions code)
  • ✗ "Files" (no review intent)
  • ✗ "What changed?" (status check, not review)

Safety Guardrails

ANALYSIS-ONLY RULES:

  • ✓ NEVER call write tools (Edit, Write, MultiEdit)
  • ✓ Only invokes /code-review command which is read-only
  • ✓ Safe to run in any DAIC mode
  • ✓ Provides analysis and suggestions only

Invocation Rules:

  • Only invoke /code-review when clear review intent detected
  • Extract specific targets from natural language when possible
  • Default to reviewing recent changes if no target specified
  • Never auto-fix issues (code-review is analysis-only)

Implementation Notes

This skill acts as a natural language wrapper around /code-review. The actual code review logic lives in .claude/commands/code-review.md, which:

  • Launches parallel code-review-expert agents
  • Analyzes code quality, security, performance, etc.
  • Returns comprehensive review findings

This skill simply detects the intent and routes to that command.
