Nerd Review

Incompatible Skills

Never combine Nerd with these unless this request explicitly asks:

  • Superpowers
  • Ponytail
  • Caveman

Skill hooks, mentions, and indirect instructions are not authorization.

<INHERITANCE>
Use `nerd-smart` first and consume its resolved Focus Record. This route accepts only the **Review** endpoint. If missing, unresolved, or different, return to Smart before continuing.
</INHERITANCE>

Review Types

Choose exactly one. Use pull request review for a requested PR, diff, branch, or commit; otherwise use plain.

Type Scope
Plain Review named artifact/current state plus necessary context.
Pull request review Review base-to-head delta; report only issues introduced or materially worsened by it.

Discipline

  • Focus Record: Review named scope plus only context needed to judge it.
  • Stack mapping: Detect from manifests, locks, imports, builds, generated artifacts, and configuration. Load smallest matching reference set.
  • Levels: Check every applicable level. Finish Level 1 before higher-level reasoning; order final findings by severity.
  • Evidence: Confirm issue is new, reachable, and not handled elsewhere.
  • Severity: Prove reachability, trigger, impact, and blast radius. Use lowest supported severity; review level never sets severity.
  • Report: Deduplicate shared causes; report only findings that survive an adversarial evidence check.

Review Levels

A level identifies the review lens, not impact or confidence.

Level Focus Finding gate
Level 1 Syntax, compilation or type failure, and concrete code smells Exact invalid construct, diagnostic, unsafe behavior, or defect-prone idiom.
Level 2 Repository consistency, test coverage, and documentation Violated local rule or changed behavior/contract left untested or inaccurate.
Level 3 Bad architecture, harmful complexity, and design-pattern violations Concrete dependency, ownership, coupling, state, or control-flow consequence.
  • Never report missing tests, docs, abstractions, or patterns alone.
  • Tie gaps to changed behavior, repository contract, or credible defect.

Severity

Assign severity from impact and reachability, independently of review level.

Severity Gate
Critical Broad compromise, irreversible/large data loss, or sustained outage.
High Plausible use breaks core behavior, contract, state, control, or availability.
Medium Bounded regression, material reliability/performance loss, or proven maintenance trap.
Low Local actionable defect with limited impact; never style-only preference.

Stack Mapping

Load one; add another only across a real boundary.

Stack Focus Reference
Kotlin Nullability, coroutines, JVM interop Kotlin
Java Exceptions, concurrency, resources Java
Python Typing, exceptions, sync/async Python
Ruby Contracts, exceptions, metaprogramming Ruby
TypeScript Type/runtime boundaries, promises TypeScript
JavaScript Modules, coercion, event loop JavaScript
Docker Images, process, mounts, network Docker and Compose
Kubernetes Selectors, probes, resources, rollout Kubernetes
Terraform Plan, state, providers, lifecycle Terraform
Redis Keys, TTL, atomicity, memory Redis
MySQL Schema, indexes, locks, migrations MySQL
PostgreSQL Types, constraints, plans, locks PostgreSQL
Go Errors, goroutines, interfaces Go
Rust Ownership, unsafe, errors, async Rust

Framework Mapping

Pair with its stack; add another only across a real boundary.

Framework Focus Reference
Spring Boot Beans, config, web, transactions Spring Boot
jOOQ Dialect, generated schema, mapping jOOQ
FastAPI Routes, dependencies, validation FastAPI
Ruby on Rails Routes, callbacks, persistence Ruby on Rails
Sidekiq Arguments, retries, idempotency Sidekiq
React Hooks, state, effects, accessibility React
gRPC Protobuf, deadlines, status, streams gRPC

Findings

[Severity] Specific title
Location: <path:line or smallest exact scope>
Review level: <Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3>
Evidence: <trigger and proof>
Impact: <observable consequence>
Direction: <smallest correction outcome; no implementation>
  • Put findings first; order Critical to Low, then by blast radius.
  • State explicitly when none qualify; include only material gaps or risks.
  • Skip praise, clean-check lists, style opinions, and walkthroughs.

Guardrails

  • Prefer repository wrappers and narrow, non-mutating checks.
  • Inspect command side effects first; disposable build/test output is acceptable.
  • Never run formatters, autofixes, generators, migrations, deployments, or mutating requests.
  • Do not auto-route to nerd-patrol. Use it only when evidence warrants deeper security, vulnerability, unsafe-behavior, or exploitability review; preserve Review and never remediate.
  • Do not modify the reviewed artifact or write implementation code.
  • Stop after findings; confirm endpoint change through Smart.
