Architect code review with DRY, YAGNI, abstraction, and test coverage principle enforcement
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill code-review-gate --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 Gate ## Capabilities Performs architect-level code review enforcing four core principles: DRY (no unnecessary duplication), YAGNI (no speculative features), proper abstraction (correct encapsulation), and test coverage (adequate automated tests). Provides numeric quality scores and specific file:line feedback. ## Tool Use Instructions - Use **Read** to examine code changes and test files - Use **Grep** to search for duplication patterns and anti-patterns - Use **Glob** to verify test file coverage - Use **Bash** to run lint, test, and coverage commands - Use **Write** to generate review reports ## Process Integration - Used in `maestro-orchestrator.js` Phase 4 (Architect Code Review) - Used in `maestro-development.js` (PR Review Cycle) - Used in `maestro-hotfix.js` (Expedited Review) - Maps to tasks: `maestro-architect-code-review`, `maestro-dev-architect-review`, `maestro-hotfix-review` - Agents: Architect, Code Reviewer - Quality convergence loop: rejected code returns to coder for fixes - Checks are "turned up to 11" by default

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill code-review-gate --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 a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 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.
