AI Code Review Agent: Standards & Spec Compliance Check

AI Code Review Agent: Standards & Spec Compliance Check

This AI Code Review Agent skill facilitates a two-axis review of code changes, evaluating compliance with both documented coding standards and original specifications. It operates through sub-agents that independently assess these criteria, compiling their findings into a consolidated report. This skill is particularly suitable for reviewing branches, pull requests, and other development changes against a user-specified fixed reference point.

What this skill does

• Pin the fixed point: Identifies the user-specified reference (e.g., commit SHA, branch name, tag) from which to compare code changes.
• Run a code diff: Utilises the `git diff ...HEAD` command to determine the differences between the current code state and the fixed point. It confirms the validity of the reference and ensures the diff is not empty before proceeding with the review.
• Standards compliance review: A sub-agent checks whether the code adheres to documented coding standards specific to the repository.
• Spec compliance review: Another sub-agent evaluates whether the code meets the requirements as defined by the corresponding issue or specification.
• Aggregate findings: Combines the results from both sub-agents and presents a side-by-side report of standards and spec compliance.
• Setup checks: Advises users to run `/setup-matt-pocock-skills` if the issue tracker document is not available, ensuring all necessary setup steps are complete.

Who it is for

• Developers working within teams using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Quality assurance engineers focused on maintaining coding standards and specification adherence.
• Project managers and team leads overseeing code review processes.

Use cases

• Review code changes in a pull request to ensure they comply with project standards and specifications.
• Assess ongoing work in a branch against a previous commit to verify continued adherence to coding guidelines.
• Conduct periodic evaluations of code quality during continuous integration processes.

Technical details

• Integrates with Git to execute `git diff` and `git log` commands.
• Utilises parallel sub-agents to independently evaluate standards and spec compliance.
• Requires an issue tracker file, `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`, for spec source identification.
