code-review-and-quality
Conducts multi-axis code review. Use before merging any change. Use when reviewing code written by yourself, another agent, or a human. Use when you need to assess code quality across multiple dimensions before it enters the main branch.
npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills --skill code-review-and-quality --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Code Review and Quality ## Overview Multi-dimensional code review with quality gates. Every change gets reviewed before merge — no exceptions. Review covers five axes: correctness, readability, architecture, security, and performance. **The approval standard:** Approve a change when it definitely improves overall code health, even if it isn't perfect. Perfect code doesn't exist — the goal is continuous improvement. Don't block a change because it isn't exactly how you would have written it. If it improves the codebase and follows the project's conventions, approve it. ## When to Use - Before merging any PR or change - After completing a feature implementation - When another agent or model produced code you need to evaluate - When refactoring existing code - After any bug fix (review both the fix and the regression test) ## The Five-Axis Review Every review evaluates code across these dimensions: ### 1. Correctness Does the code do what it claims to do? - Does it match the spec or task requirements? - Are edge cases handled (null, empty, boundary values)? - Are error paths handled (not just the happy path)? - Does it pass all tests? Are the tests actually testing the right things?

What does the code-review-and-quality skill do?
Conducts multi-axis code review. Use before merging any change. Use when reviewing code written by yourself, another agent, or a human. Use when you need to assess code quality across multiple dimensions before it enters the main branch.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills --skill code-review-and-quality --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From addyosmani/agent-skills, a repository with 81,574 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
