AI-Powered Code Review: Reverse-Grill ADR Skill

AI-Powered Code Review: Reverse-Grill ADR Skill

The AI-Powered Code Review: Reverse-Grill ADR Skill provides a structured method for explaining existing code changes—such as those in a pull request, specific branches, commit ranges, or a dirty tree—by generating an Architectural Decision Record (ADR). It reconstructs each piece of work involved in a code change, detailing the underlying ideas, approaches, decisions made, and possible alternatives. This process is aided by niche experts who assess these decisions, providing insight into what might be done differently in similar circumstances. This tool is intended for review purposes and does not alter the code.

What this skill does

• Analyzes existing code changes to create a comprehensive ADR.
• Splits the code change into individual pieces for detailed examination.
• Describes the design choices made, inferred, or omitted, along with possible alternatives.
• Incorporates input from niche experts, evaluating each decision and offering recommendations.
• Ensures readability and clarity for non-coding stakeholders through a reader test.
• Maintains language agnosticism, ensuring equivalent documentation for similar implementations in different languages.

Who it is for

• Developers seeking detailed insights into code changes without delving into the code itself.
• Project managers who require a comprehensive understanding of technical decisions in a project.
• Development teams using AI-based coding platforms like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

Use cases

• Post-implementation reviews where detailed documentation of code decisions is required.
• Retrospective analyses to understand design choices made in existing codebases.
• Project documentation where ADRs need to be generated for past code implementations.

Technical details

• Utilizes AI tools and processes, including ADR methodology and reverse-grill techniques.
• Designed for integration with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Produces a chat digest and an ADR file structured by individual pieces of work.
