Production Code Readiness Reviewer

The problem

Linter passes and green tests don't guarantee production safety. Small logic errors in authentication, database migrations, or concurrent paths often bypass standard CI/CD but cause catastrophic outages at scale.

What it does

• Analyzes git diffs and PRs for logic defects, race conditions, and edge-case failures.
• Identifies security boundary risks including injection, tenant isolation, and secret exposure.
• Evaluates database migration safety and backward compatibility for public APIs.
• Maps code changes against requirements to find missing acceptance criteria and test gaps.
• Provides a concrete Ship, Revise, or Block verdict based on a structured risk rubric.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often focus on surface-level style or naming conventions. This skill follows a rigorous multi-step inspection framework that traces execution paths, evaluates architectural alignment, and enforces a severity-based scoring model that prioritizes production stability over personal preference.

Use cases

• Pre-merge review for mission-critical core services and sensitive auth modules.
• Assessing the regression risk of refactors in legacy codebases.
• Verifying database schema changes and rollback safety before deployment.
• Identifying missing failure-path tests for new feature implementations.

Known limitations

Cannot execute code or perform runtime analysis. Review is limited to one coherent change set at a time rather than global repository audits.
