review-diff

Scan a git diff for project-specific anti-patterns. This is a fast, targeted scan (seconds), not a full code review. Use /review for comprehensive analysis.

Step 0: Detect project

Ensure you are inside a git repository before running diff commands:

• If cwd is a git repo: use it
• If recent context references a project: cd into it first
• Check CLAUDE.md or the project manifest (package.json, composer.json, pom.xml, Gemfile, *.csproj, go.mod, Cargo.toml, requirements.txt/pyproject.toml, etc.) in the project root to identify the framework and project-specific patterns
• If unclear: ask which project

Step 1: Get the diff

Determine the diff source from $ARGUMENTS:

• No arguments: Run git diff (unstaged) + git diff --cached (staged). Combine both outputs.
• Branch name (e.g., feat/xyz): Run git diff main...$ARGUMENTS
• Commit range (e.g., HEAD~3..HEAD): Run git diff $ARGUMENTS
• Single commit hash: Run git diff $ARGUMENTS~1..$ARGUMENTS

If the diff is empty, report "No changes to scan." and stop.

Step 2: Scan for anti-patterns

Analyze ONLY + lines (additions) in the diff. For each pattern below, search the added lines and the surrounding file context when needed.

Pattern Table

#	Pattern	What to look for	Severity
1	Filter logic mismatch	String === comparisons where one value could be a prefix of the other (e.g., 'All' === value when value could be 'All Categories'). Also: inconsistent use of startsWith() vs === on the same field across the diff. This requires semantic understanding, not just regex.	HIGH
2	Auth gaps	New defineEventHandler, @Get(), @Post(), @Put(), @Delete(), @Patch() without a corresponding @UseGuards() or defineMiddleware in the same file. Read the full file if needed to check.	HIGH
3	Soft-delete violations	DELETE FROM, .delete(, .deleteMany(, .destroy( in any ORM/SQL (adapt the delete-method names to your ORM) without corresponding is_active or deleted_at in the same block. Many projects require soft-delete: is_active=false + deleted_at=new Date(). Check CLAUDE.md for the project's soft-delete convention.	CRITICAL
4	(Nuxt/Vue projects, adapt for your framework) API call pattern	$fetch( or useFetch( in .vue files when the project uses a custom API composable. Check CLAUDE.md for the project's API composable (e.g., a wrapper around $fetch). Exception: server-side code in server/ directories may use $fetch.	MEDIUM
5	(Nuxt/Vue projects, adapt for your framework) Navigation pattern	router.push( or router.replace( in .vue files when the framework provides a preferred navigation function. Check CLAUDE.md for the framework-specific navigation function.	MEDIUM
6	Secrets in diff	Patterns like password:, token:, secret:, apiKey:, DATABASE_URL followed by a quoted string literal (not process.env., useRuntimeConfig(), or env variable references).	CRITICAL
7	(Nuxt/Vue projects, adapt for your framework) External route gap	New files added under server/routes/ or server/api/, check if corresponding frontend navigation uses external: true and <a href> instead of <NuxtLink>. Flag if unclear.	LOW
8	N+1 queries	findMany, findFirst, findUnique called inside for, for...of, forEach, .map(, while loops. Each iteration hits the DB separately instead of batching.	HIGH
9	(Nuxt/Vue projects, adapt for your framework) CJS default import	import X from 'cron-parser' or similar default imports from known CJS packages (cron-parser, lodash, moment). In Nuxt 4 + Vite, use named imports: import { CronExpressionParser } from 'cron-parser'.	MEDIUM
10	(Nuxt/Vue projects, adapt for your framework) DevServer binding	0.0.0.0 appearing in config files (vite.config, nuxt.config, devServer sections). Binds to all network interfaces; security risk.	HIGH

Step 3: Build findings table

For each finding, extract:

• File: from the diff +++ b/... header
• Line: calculate from @@ -X,Y +Z,W @@ hunk headers by counting + lines
• Pattern: the pattern name from the table above
• Finding: the specific line or code that triggered the match
• Recommendation: what to change

Output format:

| # | Severity | File | Line | Pattern | Finding | Recommendation |
|---|----------|------|------|---------|---------|----------------|
| 1 | CRITICAL | path/to/file.ts | 42 | Soft-delete | `.delete({ where: ... })` | Use `update({ is_active: false, deleted_at: new Date() })` |

If no findings: "No anti-patterns detected in the diff. GO."

Step 4: Summary

Review-diff: X findings (Y critical, Z high, W medium, V low)
Verdict: GO / REVIEW NEEDED

• GO: 0 critical, 0 high findings
• REVIEW NEEDED: any critical or high findings present
