The instructions your AI receives, as published by storyblok/monoblok in .agents/skills/review-and-qa/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Review the changes for: $ARGUMENTS.

Instructions

Perform a two-phase review:

  1. Code review - Review quality, architecture, and best practices.
  2. QA review - Create manual test cases to validate behavior.

Phase 1: Code review

Analyze the code changes for:

PR checklist

Required for all PRs

  • Small diff - One logical change. If the PR does multiple things, split it.
  • Tests included - New functionality has tests. Bug fixes have regression tests.
  • No secrets - No tokens, passwords, or credentials in the code.

If user-facing changes

  • Docs updated - The README or relevant documentation reflects the change.
  • Examples work - Code examples in the documentation are tested and copy-paste ready.
  • Error messages helpful - New errors explain what went wrong and how to fix it.

If breaking changes

  • Migration notes - Provide clear before and after examples showing how to upgrade.
  • Changelog entry - Follow conventional commits for release notes.
  • Deprecation warnings - If keeping an old API temporarily, warn users.

If adding dependencies

  • Justified - No existing solution exists in the codebase.
  • License compatible - Use MIT or a compatible license.
  • Maintained - Use an active project with recent updates.
  • Size reasonable - Avoid adding significant bundle weight.

Quality and clean code

  • Functions are small and single-purpose.
  • Variable and function names are descriptive.
  • No dead code or commented-out blocks exist.
  • No magic numbers exist (use constants).
  • Error messages are helpful.

Architecture and design

  • Changes fit existing patterns in the codebase.
  • No unnecessary coupling exists between modules.
  • Proper separation of concerns exists (actions vs. commands vs. utils).
  • Types and interfaces are defined appropriately.

Reusability and centralization

  • Duplicated logic is extracted to shared utilities.
  • Existing helpers are used where applicable.
  • New utilities are generic enough for reuse.
  • Constants are centralized (not scattered).

Best practices

  • Async and await are used consistently (no mixed patterns).
  • Errors are propagated correctly (not swallowed).
  • Edge cases are handled (null, empty, invalid input).
  • No security issues exist (injection, secrets exposure).

Output format (code review)

## Code review summary

[LGTM / Needs changes / Blocking issues]

## Issues found

### [Critical/Major/Minor]: Issue title

**File:** `path/to/file.ts:123` **Problem:** Description. **Suggestion:** How to fix.

Phase 2: QA review

Test case structure

Refer to the Test Plan Template and the Test Plan Example for test plan structure guidance.

Coverage requirements

Create test cases for:

  1. Happy path - Normal successful operation.
  2. Negative cases - Invalid input, unauthorized access, and missing data.
  3. Edge cases - Empty input, large input, and special characters.
  4. Error recovery - What happens when things fail mid-operation.
