## How This Skill Is Organized

```
code-reviewer/
  SKILL.md                        ← you are here (tools + dispatch table)
  rules/
    universal.md                  ← security, async, resources, exceptions, performance — all languages
  languages/
    python.md                     ← Python-specific rules + idioms
    typescript.md                 ← TypeScript / JavaScript-specific rules + idioms
    go.md                         ← Go-specific rules + idioms
    swift.md                      ← Swift-specific rules + idioms
    kotlin.md                     ← Kotlin-specific rules + idioms
    csharp.md                     ← C# / .NET-specific rules + idioms

### Loading order for every review

1. This file (`SKILL.md`) — tools and thresholds
2. `rules/universal.md` — always, for every language
3. The matching `languages/*.md` — one file based on the extension table below

That is always exactly **2 additional files**, regardless of scope.

| Extension(s) | Load |
|---|---|
| `.py` | `languages/python.md` |
| `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.js`, `.jsx`, `.mjs` | `languages/typescript.md` |
| `.go` | `languages/go.md` |
| `.swift` | `languages/swift.md` |
| `.kt`, `.kts` | `languages/kotlin.md` |
| `.cs`, `.csx`, `.razor`, `.cshtml` | `languages/csharp.md` |
| `.java` | `languages/java.md` |
| `.c`, `.h` | `languages/c.md` |
| `.cpp`, `.cc`, `.cxx`, `.hpp`, `.hh`, `.hxx` | `languages/cpp.md` |
| `.rs` | `languages/rust.md` |
| `.rb`, `.rake`, `.gemspec`, `.ru` | `languages/ruby.md` |
| `.php`, `.phtml` | `languages/php.md` |
| `.dart` | `languages/dart.md` |

## Tools

### PR Analyzer

Analyzes git diff between branches to assess review complexity and identify risks.

```bash
# Analyze current branch against main
python scripts/pr_analyzer.py /path/to/repo

# Compare specific branches
python scripts/pr_analyzer.py . --base main --head feature-branch

# JSON output for integration
python scripts/pr_analyzer.py /path/to/repo --json
```

**What it detects (universal — see also language file for language-specific signals):**
- Hardcoded secrets (passwords, API keys, tokens, connection strings)
- SQL / query injection patterns
- Debug statements left in production code
- Lint / analyzer suppression annotations
- TODO/FIXME comments

**Language-specific detections** are defined in each `languages/*.md` file.

**Output includes:**
- Complexity score (1-10)
- Risk categorization (critical, high, medium, low)
- File prioritization for review order
- Commit message validation

### Code Quality Checker

Analyzes source code for structural issues, code smells, and SOLID violations.

```bash
# Analyze a directory
python scripts/code_quality_checker.py /path/to/code

# Analyze specific language
# Valid values: python, typescript, javascript, go, swift, kotlin, csharp, java, c, cpp, rust, ruby, php, dart
python scripts/code_quality_checker.py . --language java

# JSON output
python scripts/code_quality_checker.py /path/to/code --json
```

**Universal thresholds:**

| Issue | Threshold |
|-------|-----------|
| Long function | >50 lines |
| Large file | >500 lines |
| God class | >20 methods |
| Too many params | >5 |
| Deep nesting | >4 levels |
| High complexity | >10 branches |

Language-specific checks are defined in each `languages/*.md` file.

### Review Report Generator

Combines PR analysis and code quality findings into structured review reports.

```bash
# Generate report for current repo
python scripts/review_report_generator.py /path/to/repo

# Markdown output
python scripts/review_report_generator.py . --format markdown --output review.md

# Use pre-computed analyses
python scripts/review_report_generator.py . \
  --pr-analysis pr_results.json \
  --quality-analysis quality_results.json
```

**Verdicts:**

| Score | Verdict |
|-------|---------|
| 90+ with no high issues | Approve |
| 75+ with ≤2 high issues | Approve with suggestions |
| 50-74 | Request changes |
| <50 or critical issues | Block |

## Adding a New Language

**Reviewer guidance (required):**

1. Create `languages/<name>.md` using any existing language file as a template — it must have sections: PR Analyzer Signals, Code Quality Checks, Security, Async, Resource Management, Exception Handling, Performance, Idioms.
2. Add the extension row to the dispatch table above.

That is all the agent-driven review needs.

**Deterministic analyzer support (optional, recommended):** the bundled scripts
only flag a language they explicitly know. To make `code_quality_checker.py`
score the new language:

3. Add the extensions to `LANGUAGE_EXTENSIONS` in `scripts/code_quality_checker.py` (this also adds the `--language` choice).
4. Add `function` / `class` / `method` regex entries for the language in the same file; otherwise it falls back to the Python patterns.
5. Optionally add a `check_<name>_specific_smells(...)` detector (see the C#, Java, and C ones) and call it from `analyze_file`.
6. Add `assets/sample_<name>_smells.<ext>` + `_clean` fixtures and commit the expected `--json` output under `expected_outputs/` as a regression guard.

---

## Regression Fixtures

Labelled fixtures live in `assets/` with their committed `--json` output in
`expected_outputs/` (C#, Java, and C). Drift from the committed JSON signals a
behaviour change in the analyzer:

```bash
python scripts/code_quality_checker.py assets/sample_java_smells.java --json \
  | diff - expected_outputs/sample_java_smells_quality.json
```
