Individual skill
code-reviewer
You MUST use this when asked to review code: a pull request, a branch, a commit, staged or uncommitted changes, or "check this before I merge". Scopes the review to the diff, reads the surrounding code, hunts for real bugs (correctness, security, data loss, concurrency, broken callers, missing tests), verifies every finding against the code before reporting it, and returns a short severity-ranked list with a concrete failure scenario for each. Use it for any language; not for writing new code or for style-only cleanups.

# Code Reviewer
Review a change the way a careful senior engineer does: understand what it is meant to do, find what will actually break, prove each problem before raising it, and say nothing you cannot back up.
A review is judged by its findings, not its length. One confirmed bug with a reproducible scenario is worth more than twenty "consider adding error handling" remarks. An empty report is a valid result when the change is sound.
## 1. Pin down the scope
Work out exactly which change is under review before reading any code.
| Request | Diff to review |
|---|---|
| A PR number or URL | `gh pr diff <n>` and `gh pr view <n>` (title, body, linked issue) |
| A branch | `git diff origin/main...<branch>` (three dots diffs from the merge base; use the repo's real default branch) |
