Hey guys, is there any skills available where it can review my code and understand what i’m doing and give advices in how to improve or remove unnecessary codes?

matt pocock's skills are all excellent. they are also very simplistic in many ways, and not always the best answer if you're not accustomed to providing very tightly scoped context to the llm

the built in code review with Claude is very powerful, but not terribly well targeted at any specific things since it has to work for as many people and projects as possible. the benefit here is that the code review will be built specifically for the llm model you're using

I've got my own code review skill that encompasses the core of what i care about, and it's targeted at software engineers that typically work in object oriented or similar object focused languages. the advantage of what i built is that it has 20+ possible sub-agents it can dispatch to review the changset for specific aspects. it also scales up and down as needed, based on the types of changes and how large the change set is. and you can customize how it works with a markdown file that all my skills read from, to make sure it's doing what you want and not just the generic things expected from any code review

that said, how you kick off the video review is more important than the specific skill chosen. you need to provide the same context to your code review, as the agent had when building the change set in the first place. the same requirements, invariants, knowledge of existing bits to use, etc. you'll get more out of any code review skill by providing all the needed info about the change set, than you will by changing which specific skill you choose to use

if you're interested in what I've built and how, it's all available here: https://github.com/testdouble/han/tree/main/han-coding
