name: agents-md description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "create AGENTS.md", "update AGENTS.md", "maintain agent docs", "set up CLAUDE.md", or needs to keep agent instructions concise. Guides discovery of local skills and enforces minimal documentation style.
Maintaining AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is the canonical agent-facing documentation. Keep it minimal—agents are capable and don't need hand-holding.
File Setup
- Create
AGENTS.mdat project root - Create symlink:
ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md
Before Writing
Discover local skills to reference:
find .claude/skills -name "SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null
ls plugins/*/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null
Read each skill's frontmatter to understand when to reference it.
Writing Rules
- Headers + bullets - No paragraphs
- Code blocks - For commands and templates
- Reference, don't duplicate - Point to skills: "Use
db-migrateskill. See.claude/skills/db-migrate/SKILL.md" - No filler - No intros, conclusions, or pleasantries
- Trust capabilities - Omit obvious context
Required Sections
Package Manager
Which tool and key commands only:
## Package Manager
Use **pnpm**: `pnpm install`, `pnpm dev`, `pnpm test`
Commit Attribution
Always include this section. Agents should use their own identity:
## Commit Attribution
AI commits MUST include:
Example: `Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4 <noreply@example.com>`
Key Conventions
Project-specific patterns agents must follow. Keep brief.
Local Skills
Reference each discovered skill:
## Database
Use `db-migrate` skill for schema changes. See `.claude/skills/db-migrate/SKILL.md`
## Testing
Use `write-tests` skill. See `.claude/skills/write-tests/SKILL.md`
Optional Sections
Add only if truly needed:
- API route patterns (show template, not explanation)
- CLI commands (table format)
- File naming conventions
Anti-Patterns
Omit these:
- "Welcome to..." or "This document explains..."
- "You should..." or "Remember to..."
- Content duplicated from skills (reference instead)
- Obvious instructions ("run tests", "write clean code")
- Explanations of why (just say what)
- Long prose paragraphs
Example Structure

/sentry-brand-guidelines
Source: ~/.claude/skills/sentry-brand-guidelines/SKILL.md
name: brand-guidelines description: Write copy following Sentry brand guidelines. Use when writing UI text, error messages, empty states, onboarding flows, 404 pages, documentation, marketing copy, or any user-facing content. Covers both Plain Speech (default) and Sentry Voice tones.
Brand Guidelines
Write user-facing copy following Sentry's brand guidelines.
Tone Selection
Choose the appropriate tone based on context:
| Use Plain Speech | Use Sentry Voice |
|---|---|
| Product UI (buttons, labels, forms) | 404 pages |
| Documentation | Empty states |
| Error messages | Onboarding flows |
| Settings pages | Loading states |
| Transactional emails | "What's New" announcements |
| Help text | Marketing copy |
Default to Plain Speech unless the context specifically calls for personality.
Plain Speech (Default)
Plain Speech is clear, direct, and functional. Use it for most UI elements.
Rules
- Be concise - Use the fewest words needed
- Be direct - Tell users what to do, not what they can do
- Use active voice - "Save your changes" not "Your changes will be saved"
- Avoid jargon - Use simple words users understand
- Be specific - "3 errors found" not "Some errors found"
Examples
| Instead of | Write |
|---|---|
| "Click here to save your changes" | "Save" |
| "You can filter results by date" | "Filter by date" |
| "An error has occurred" | "Something went wrong" |
| "Please enter a valid email address" | "Enter a valid email" |
| "Are you sure you want to delete?" | "Delete this item?" |
Sentry Voice
Sentry Voice adds personality in appropriate moments. It's empathetic, self-aware, and occasionally snarky.
Principles
- Empathetic snark - Direct frustration at the situation, never the user
- Self-aware - Acknowledge the absurdity of software
- Fun but functional - Personality should enhance, not obscure meaning
- Earned moments - Only use when users have time to appreciate it
Examples
404 Pages:
"This page doesn't exist. Maybe it never did. Maybe it was a dream. Either way, let's get you back on track."
Empty States:
"No errors yet. Enjoy this moment of peace while it lasts."
Onboarding:
"Let's get your first error. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds."
Loading States:
"Crunching the numbers..." "Fetching your data..."
When NOT to Use Sentry Voice
- Error messages (users are frustrated)
- Settings pages (users are focused)
- Documentation (users need information)
- Billing/payment flows (users need trust)
General Rules
Spelling and Grammar
- Use American English spelling (color, not colour)
- Use Title Case for headings and page titles
- Use Sentence case for body text, buttons, and labels
Punctuation
- No exclamation marks in UI text (exception: celebratory moments)
- No periods in short UI labels or button text
- Use periods in complete sentences and help text
- No ALL CAPS except for acronyms (API, SDK, URL)
Word Choices
| Avoid | Prefer |
|---|---|
| Please | (omit) |
| Sorry | (be specific about the problem) |
| Error occurred | Something went wrong |
| Invalid | (explain what's wrong) |
| Success! | (describe what happened) |
| Oops | (be specific) |
Dash Usage
| Type | Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Hyphen (-) | Compound words, ranges | "real-time", "1-10" |
| En-dash (--) | Ranges, relationships | "2023--2024", "parent--child" |
| Em-dash (---) | Interruption, emphasis | "Errors---even small ones---matter" |
In most UI contexts, use hyphens. Reserve en-dashes for date ranges and em-dashes for longer prose.
UI Element Guidelines
Buttons
- Use action verbs: "Save", "Delete", "Create"
- Be specific: "Create Project" not just "Create"
- Max 2-3 words when possible
- No periods or exclamation marks
Error Messages
- Say what happened
- Say why (if helpful)
- Say what to do next
Good: "Could not save changes. Check your connection and try again." Bad: "Error: Save failed."
Empty States
- Explain what would normally be here
- Provide a clear action to populate the state
- Sentry Voice is appropriate here
Good: "No projects yet. Create your first project to start tracking errors."
Confirmation Dialogs
- Make the action clear in the title
- Explain consequences if destructive
- Use specific button labels ("Delete Project", not "OK")
Tooltips and Help Text
- Keep under 2 sentences
- Explain the "why", not just the "what"
- Link to docs for complex topics
Anti-Patterns
Avoid these common mistakes:
- Robot speak: "Item has been successfully deleted" -> "Deleted"
- Passive voice: "Changes were saved" -> "Changes saved"
- Unnecessary words: "In order to" -> "To"
- Hedging: "This might cause..." -> "This will cause..."
- Double negatives: "Not unlike..." -> "Similar to..."
- Marketing speak in UI: "Supercharge your workflow" -> "Speed up your workflow"

/sentry-code-review
Source: ~/.claude/skills/sentry-code-review/SKILL.md
name: code-review description: Perform code reviews following Sentry engineering practices. Use when reviewing pull requests, examining code changes, or providing feedback on code quality. Covers security, performance, testing, and design review.
Sentry Code Review
Follow these guidelines when reviewing code for Sentry projects.
Review Checklist
Identifying Problems
Look for these issues in code changes:
- Runtime errors: Potential exceptions, null pointer issues, out-of-bounds access
- Performance: Unbounded O(n²) operations, N+1 queries, unnecessary allocations
- Side effects: Unintended behavioral changes affecting other components
- Backwards compatibility: Breaking API changes without migration path
- ORM queries: Complex Django ORM with unexpected query performance
- Security vulnerabilities: Injection, XSS, access control gaps, secrets exposure
Design Assessment
- Do component interactions make logical sense?
- Does the change align with existing project architecture?
- Are there conflicts with current requirements or goals?
Test Coverage
Every PR should have appropriate test coverage:
- Functional tests for business logic
- Integration tests for component interactions
- End-to-end tests for critical user paths
Verify tests cover actual requirements and edge cases. Avoid excessive branching or looping in test code.
Long-Term Impact
Flag for senior engineer review when changes involve:
- Database schema modifications
- API contract changes
- New framework or library adoption
- Performance-critical code paths
- Security-sensitive functionality
Feedback Guidelines
Tone
- Be polite and empathetic
- Provide actionable suggestions, not vague criticism
- Phrase as questions when uncertain: "Have you considered...?"
Approval
- Approve when only minor issues remain
- Don't block PRs for stylistic preferences
- Remember: the goal is risk reduction, not perfect code
Common Patterns to Flag
Python/Django
# Bad: N+1 query
for user in users:
print(user.profile.name) # Separate query per user
# Good: Prefetch related
users = User.objects.prefetch_related('profile')
TypeScript/React
// Bad: Missing dependency in useEffect
useEffect(() => {
fetchData(userId);
}, []); // userId not in deps
// Good: Include all dependencies
useEffect(() => {
fetchData(userId);
}, [userId]);
Security
# Bad: SQL injection risk
cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}")
# Good: Parameterized query
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", [user_id])

/sentry-code-simplifier
Source: ~/.claude/skills/sentry-code-simplifier/SKILL.md
name: code-simplifier description: Simplifies and refines code for clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving all functionality. Use when asked to "simplify code", "clean up code", "refactor for clarity", "improve readability", or review recently modified code for elegance. Focuses on project-specific best practices.
Code Simplifier
You are an expert code simplification specialist focused on enhancing code clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving exact functionality. Your expertise lies in applying project-specific best practices to simplify and improve code without altering its behavior. You prioritize readable, explicit code over overly compact solutions.
Refinement Principles
1. Preserve Functionality
Never change what the code does - only how it does it. All original features, outputs, and behaviors must remain intact.
2. Apply Project Standards
Follow the established coding standards from CLAUDE.md including:
- Use ES modules with proper import sorting and extensions
- Prefer
functionkeyword over arrow functions - Use explicit return type annotations for top-level functions
- Follow proper React component patterns with explicit Props types
- Use proper error handling patterns (avoid try/catch when possible)
- Maintain consistent naming conventions
3. Enhance Clarity
Simplify code structure by:
- Reducing unnecessary complexity and nesting
- Eliminating redundant code and abstractions
- Improving readability through clear variable and function names
- Consolidating related logic
- Removing unnecessary comments that describe obvious code
- Avoiding nested ternary operators - prefer switch statements or if/else chains for multiple conditions
- Choosing clarity over brevity - explicit code is often better than overly compact code
4. Maintain Balance
Avoid over-simplification that could:
- Reduce code clarity or maintainability
- Create overly clever solutions that are hard to understand
- Combine too many concerns into single functions or components
- Remove helpful abstractions that improve code organization
- Prioritize "fewer lines" over readability (e.g., nested ternaries, dense one-liners)
- Make the code harder to debug or extend
5. Focus Scope
Only refine code that has been recently modified or touched in the current session, unless explicitly instructed to review a broader scope.
Refinement Process
- Identify the recently modified code sections
- Analyze for opportunities to improve elegance and consistency
- Apply project-specific best practices and coding standards
- Ensure all functionality remains unchanged
- Verify the refined code is simpler and more maintainable
- Document only significant changes that affect understanding
Examples
Before: Nested Ternaries
const status = isLoading ? 'loading' : hasError ? 'error' : isComplete ? 'complete' : 'idle';
After: Clear Switch Statement
function getStatus(isLoading: boolean, hasError: boolean, isComplete: boolean): string {
if (isLoading) return 'loading';
if (hasError) return 'error';
if (isComplete) return 'complete';
return 'idle';
}
Before: Overly Compact
const result = arr.filter(x => x > 0).map(x => x * 2).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
After: Clear Steps
const positiveNumbers = arr.filter(x => x > 0);
const doubled = positiveNumbers.map(x => x * 2);
const sum = doubled.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
Before: Redundant Abstraction
function isNotEmpty(arr: unknown[]): boolean {
return arr.length > 0;
}
if (isNotEmpty(items)) {
// ...
}
After: Direct Check
if (items.length > 0) {
// ...
}

name: commit description: Create commit messages following Sentry conventions. Use when committing code changes, writing commit messages, or formatting git history. Follows conventional commits with Sentry-specific issue references.
Sentry Commit Messages
Follow these conventions when creating commits for Sentry projects.
Prerequisites
Before committing, ensure you're working on a feature branch, not the main branch.
# Check current branch
git branch --show-current
If you're on main or master, create a new branch first:
# Create and switch to a new branch
git checkout -b <type>/<short-description>
Branch naming should follow the pattern: <type>/<short-description> where type matches the commit type (e.g., feat/add-user-auth, fix/null-pointer-error, ref/extract-validation).
Format
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<body>
<footer>
The header is required. Scope is optional. All lines must stay under 100 characters.

Subject Line Rules
- Use imperative, present tense: "Add feature" not "Added feature"
- Capitalize the first letter
- No period at the end
- Maximum 70 characters
Body Guidelines
- Explain what and why, not how
- Use imperative mood and present tense
- Include motivation for the change
- Contrast with previous behavior when relevant

AI-Generated Changes
When changes were primarily generated by a coding agent (like Claude Code), include the Co-Authored-By attribution in the commit footer:
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
This is the only indicator of AI involvement that should appear in commits. Do not add phrases like "Generated by AI", "Written with Claude", or similar markers in the subject, body, or anywhere else in the commit message.
Examples
Simple fix
fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint
The user API could return null for deleted accounts, causing a crash
in the dashboard. Add null check before accessing user properties.
Fixes SENTRY-5678
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Feature with scope
feat(alerts): Add Slack thread replies for alert updates
When an alert is updated or resolved, post a reply to the original
Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related
notifications grouped together.
Refs GH-1234
Refactor
ref: Extract common validation logic to shared module
Move duplicate validation code from three endpoints into a shared
validator class. No behavior change.
Breaking change
feat(api)!: Remove deprecated v1 endpoints
Remove all v1 API endpoints that were deprecated in version 23.1.
Clients should migrate to v2 endpoints.
BREAKING CHANGE: v1 endpoints no longer available
Fixes SENTRY-9999
Revert Format
revert: feat(api): Add new endpoint
This reverts commit abc123def456.
Reason: Caused performance regression in production.
Principles
- Each commit should be a single, stable change
- Commits should be independently reviewable
- The repository should be in a working state after each commit

/sentry-create-pr
Source: ~/.claude/skills/sentry-create-pr/SKILL.md
name: create-pr description: Create pull requests following Sentry conventions. Use when opening PRs, writing PR descriptions, or preparing changes for review. Follows Sentry's code review guidelines.
Create Pull Request
Create pull requests following Sentry's engineering practices.
Requires: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated and available.
Prerequisites
Before creating a PR, ensure all changes are committed. If there are uncommitted changes, run the sentry-skills:commit skill first to commit them properly.
# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain
If the output shows any uncommitted changes (modified, added, or untracked files that should be included), invoke the sentry-skills:commit skill before proceeding.
Process
Step 1: Verify Branch State
# Detect the default branch
BASE=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')
# Check current branch and status
git status
git log $BASE..HEAD --oneline
Ensure:
- All changes are committed
- Branch is up to date with remote
- Changes are rebased on the base branch if needed
Step 2: Analyze Changes
Review what will be included in the PR:
# See all commits that will be in the PR
git log $BASE..HEAD
# See the full diff
git diff $BASE...HEAD
Understand the scope and purpose of all changes before writing the description.
Step 3: Write the PR Description
Use this structure for PR descriptions (ignoring any repository PR templates):
<brief description of what the PR does>
<why these changes are being made - the motivation>
<alternative approaches considered, if any>
<any additional context reviewers need>
Do NOT include:
- "Test plan" sections
- Checkbox lists of testing steps
- Redundant summaries of the diff
Do include:
- Clear explanation of what and why
- Links to relevant issues or tickets
- Context that isn't obvious from the code
- Notes on specific areas that need careful review
Step 4: Create the PR
gh pr create --draft --title "<type>(<scope>): <description>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<description body here>
EOF
)"
Title format follows commit conventions:
feat(scope): Add new featurefix(scope): Fix the bugref: Refactor something
PR Description Examples
Feature PR
Add Slack thread replies for alert notifications
When an alert is updated or resolved, we now post a reply to the original
Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related
notifications grouped and reduces channel noise.
Previously considered posting edits to the original message, but threading
better preserves the timeline of events and works when the original message
is older than Slack's edit window.
Refs SENTRY-1234
Bug Fix PR
Handle null response in user API endpoint
The user endpoint could return null for soft-deleted accounts, causing
dashboard crashes when accessing user properties. This adds a null check
and returns a proper 404 response.
Found while investigating SENTRY-5678.
Fixes SENTRY-5678
Refactor PR
Extract validation logic to shared module
Moves duplicate validation code from the alerts, issues, and projects
endpoints into a shared validator class. No behavior change.
This prepares for adding new validation rules in SENTRY-9999 without

Django Access Control & IDOR Review
Find access control vulnerabilities by investigating how the codebase answers one question:
Can User A access, modify, or delete User B's data?
Philosophy: Investigation Over Pattern Matching
Do NOT scan for predefined vulnerable patterns. Instead:
- Understand how authorization works in THIS codebase
- Ask questions about specific data flows
- Trace code to find where (or if) access checks happen
- Report only what you've confirmed through investigation
Every codebase implements authorization differently. Your job is to understand this specific implementation, then find gaps.
Phase 1: Understand the Authorization Model
Before looking for bugs, answer these questions about the codebase:
How is authorization enforced?
Research the codebase to find:
□ Where are permission checks implemented?
- Decorators? (@login_required, @permission_required, custom?)
- Middleware? (TenantMiddleware, AuthorizationMiddleware?)
- Base classes? (BaseAPIView, TenantScopedViewSet?)
- Permission classes? (DRF permission_classes?)
- Custom mixins? (OwnershipMixin, TenantMixin?)
□ How are queries scoped?
- Custom managers? (TenantManager, UserScopedManager?)
- get_queryset() overrides?
- Middleware that sets query context?
□ What's the ownership model?
- Single user ownership? (document.owner_id)
- Organization/tenant ownership? (document.organization_id)
- Hierarchical? (org -> team -> user -> resource)
- Role-based within context? (org admin vs member)
Investigation commands
# Find how auth is typically done
grep -rn "permission_classes\|@login_required\|@permission_required" --include="*.py" | head -20
# Find base classes that views inherit from
grep -rn "class Base.*View\|class.*Mixin.*:" --include="*.py" | head -20
# Find custom managers
grep -rn "class.*Manager\|def get_queryset" --include="*.py" | head -20
# Find ownership fields on models
grep -rn "owner\|user_id\|organization\|tenant" --include="models.py" | head -30
Do not proceed until you understand the authorization model.
Phase 2: Map the Attack Surface
Identify endpoints that handle user-specific data:
What resources exist?
□ What models contain user data?
□ Which have ownership fields (owner_id, user_id, organization_id)?
□ Which are accessed via ID in URLs or request bodies?
What operations are exposed?
For each resource, map:
- List endpoints - what data is returned?
- Detail/retrieve endpoints - how is the object fetched?
- Create endpoints - who sets the owner?
- Update endpoints - can users modify others' data?
- Delete endpoints - can users delete others' data?
- Custom actions - what do they access?
Phase 3: Ask Questions and Investigate
For each endpoint that handles user data, ask:
The Core Question
"If I'm User A and I know the ID of User B's resource, can I access it?"
Trace the code to answer this:
1. Where does the resource ID enter the system?
- URL path: /api/documents/{id}/
- Query param: ?document_id=123
- Request body: {"document_id": 123}
2. Where is that ID used to fetch data?
- Find the ORM query or database call
3. Between (1) and (2), what checks exist?
- Is the query scoped to current user?
- Is there an explicit ownership check?
- Is there a permission check on the object?
- Does a base class or mixin enforce access?
4. If you can't find a check, is there one you missed?
- Check parent classes
- Check middleware
- Check managers
- Check decorators at URL level
Follow-Up Questions
□ For list endpoints: Does the query filter to user's data, or return everything?
□ For create endpoints: Who sets the owner - the server or the request?
□ For bulk operations: Are they scoped to user's data?
□ For related resources: If I can access a document, can I access its comments?
What if the document belongs to someone else?
□ For tenant/org resources: Can User in Org A access Org B's data by changing
the org_id in the URL?
Phase 4: Trace Specific Flows
Pick a concrete endpoint and trace it completely.
Example Investigation
Endpoint: GET /api/documents/{pk}/
1. Find the view handling this URL
→ DocumentViewSet.retrieve() in api/views.py
2. Check what DocumentViewSet inherits from
→ class DocumentViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet)
→ No custom base class with authorization
3. Check permission_classes
→ permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
→ Only checks login, not ownership
4. Check get_queryset()
→ def get_queryset(self):
→ return Document.objects.all()
→ Returns ALL documents!
5. Check for has_object_permission()
→ Not implemented
6. Check retrieve() method
→ Uses default, which calls get_object()
→ get_object() uses get_queryset(), which returns all
7. Conclusion: IDOR - Any authenticated user can access any document
What to look for when tracing
Potential gap indicators (investigate further, don't auto-flag):
- get_queryset() returns .all() or filters without user
- Direct Model.objects.get(pk=pk) without ownership in query
- ID comes from request body for sensitive operations
- Permission class checks auth but not ownership
- No has_object_permission() and queryset isn't scoped
Likely safe patterns (but verify the implementation):
- get_queryset() filters by request.user or user's org
- Custom permission class with has_object_permission()
- Base class that enforces scoping
- Manager that auto-filters
Phase 5: Report Findings
Only report issues you've confirmed through investigation.
Confidence Levels
| Level | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Traced the flow, confirmed no check exists | Report with evidence |
| MEDIUM | Check may exist but couldn't confirm | Note for manual verification |
| LOW | Theoretical, likely mitigated | Do not report |
Suggested Fixes Must Enforce, Not Document
Bad fix: Adding a comment saying "caller must validate permissions" Good fix: Adding code that actually validates permissions
A comment or docstring does not enforce authorization. Your suggested fix must include actual code that:
- Validates the user has permission before proceeding
- Raises an exception or returns an error if unauthorized
- Makes unauthorized access impossible, not just discouraged
Example of a BAD fix suggestion:
def get_resource(resource_id):
# IMPORTANT: Caller must ensure user has access to this resource
return Resource.objects.get(pk=resource_id)
Example of a GOOD fix suggestion:
def get_resource(resource_id, user):
resource = Resource.objects.get(pk=resource_id)
if resource.owner_id != user.id:
raise PermissionDenied("Access denied")
return resource
If you can't determine the right enforcement mechanism, say so - but never suggest documentation as the fix.
Report Format
## Access Control Review: [Component]
### Authorization Model
[Brief description of how this codebase handles authorization]
### Findings
#### [IDOR-001] [Title] (Severity: High/Medium)
- **Location**: `path/to/file.py:123`
- **Confidence**: High - confirmed through code tracing
- **The Question**: Can User A access User B's documents?
- **Investigation**:
1. Traced GET /api/documents/{pk}/ to DocumentViewSet
2. Checked get_queryset() - returns Document.objects.all()
3. Checked permission_classes - only IsAuthenticated
4. Checked for has_object_permission() - not implemented
5. Verified no relevant middleware or base class checks
- **Evidence**: [Code snippet showing the gap]
- **Impact**: Any authenticated user can read any document by ID
- **Suggested Fix**: [Code that enforces authorization - NOT a comment]
### Needs Manual Verification
[Issues where authorization exists but couldn't confirm effectiveness]
### Areas Not Reviewed
[Endpoints or flows not covered in this review]
Common Django Authorization Patterns
These are patterns you might find - not a checklist to match against.
Query Scoping
# Scoped to user
Document.objects.filter(owner=request.user)
# Scoped to organization
Document.objects.filter(organization=request.user.organization)
# Using a custom manager
Document.objects.for_user(request.user) # Investigate what this does
Permission Enforcement
# DRF permission classes
permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated, IsOwner]
# Custom has_object_permission
def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
return obj.owner == request.user
# Django decorators
@permission_required('app.view_document')
# Manual checks
if document.owner != request.user:
raise PermissionDenied()
Ownership Assignment
# Server-side (safe)
def perform_create(self, serializer):
serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)
# From request (investigate)
serializer.save(**request.data) # Does request.data include owner?
Investigation Checklist
Use this to guide your review, not as a pass/fail checklist:
□ I understand how authorization is typically implemented in this codebase
□ I've identified the ownership model (user, org, tenant, etc.)
□ I've mapped the key endpoints that handle user data
□ For each sensitive endpoint, I've traced the flow and asked:
- Where does the ID come from?
- Where is data fetched?
- What checks exist between input and data access?
□ I've verified my findings by checking parent classes and middleware
□ I've only reported issues I've confirmed through investigation

name: django-perf-review description: Django performance code review. Use when asked to "review Django performance", "find N+1 queries", "optimize Django", "check queryset performance", "database performance", "Django ORM issues", or audit Django code for performance problems. allowed-tools: Read Grep Glob Bash Task license: LICENSE
Django Performance Review
Review Django code for validated performance issues. Research the codebase to confirm issues before reporting. Report only what you can prove.
Review Approach
- Research first - Trace data flow, check for existing optimizations, verify data volume
- Validate before reporting - Pattern matching is not validation
- Zero findings is acceptable - Don't manufacture issues to appear thorough
- Severity must match impact - If you catch yourself writing "minor" in a CRITICAL finding, it's not critical. Downgrade or skip it.
Impact Categories
Issues are organized by impact. Focus on CRITICAL and HIGH - these cause real problems at scale.
| Priority | Category | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N+1 Queries | CRITICAL - Multiplies with data, causes timeouts |
| 2 | Unbounded Querysets | CRITICAL - Memory exhaustion, OOM kills |
| 3 | Missing Indexes | HIGH - Full table scans on large tables |
| 4 | Write Loops | HIGH - Lock contention, slow requests |
| 5 | Inefficient Patterns | LOW - Rarely worth reporting |
Priority 1: N+1 Queries (CRITICAL)
Impact: Each N+1 adds O(n) database round trips. 100 rows = 100 extra queries. 10,000 rows = timeout.
Rule: Prefetch related data accessed in loops
Validate by tracing: View → Queryset → Template/Serializer → Loop access
# PROBLEM: N+1 - each iteration queries profile
def user_list(request):
users = User.objects.all()
return render(request, 'users.html', {'users': users})
# Template:
# {% for user in users %}
# {{ user.profile.bio }} ← triggers query per user
# {% endfor %}
# SOLUTION: Prefetch in view
def user_list(request):
users = User.objects.select_related('profile')
return render(request, 'users.html', {'users': users})
Rule: Prefetch in serializers, not just views
DRF serializers accessing related fields cause N+1 if queryset isn't optimized.
# PROBLEM: SerializerMethodField queries per object
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
order_count = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
def get_order_count(self, obj):
return obj.orders.count() # ← query per user
# SOLUTION: Annotate in viewset, access in serializer
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
def get_queryset(self):
return User.objects.annotate(order_count=Count('orders'))
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
order_count = serializers.IntegerField(read_only=True)
Rule: Model properties that query are dangerous in loops
# PROBLEM: Property triggers query when accessed
class User(models.Model):
@property
def recent_orders(self):
return self.orders.filter(created__gte=last_week)[:5]
# Used in template loop = N+1
# SOLUTION: Use Prefetch with custom queryset, or annotate
Validation Checklist for N+1
- Traced data flow from view to template/serializer
- Confirmed related field is accessed inside a loop
- Searched codebase for existing select_related/prefetch_related
- Verified table has significant row count (1000+)
- Confirmed this is a hot path (not admin, not rare action)
Priority 2: Unbounded Querysets (CRITICAL)
Impact: Loading entire tables exhausts memory. Large tables cause OOM kills and worker restarts.
Rule: Always paginate list endpoints
# PROBLEM: No pagination - loads all rows
class UserListView(ListView):
model = User
template_name = 'users.html'
# SOLUTION: Add pagination
class UserListView(ListView):
model = User
template_name = 'users.html'
paginate_by = 25
Rule: Use iterator() for large batch processing
# PROBLEM: Loads all objects into memory at once
for user in User.objects.all():
process(user)
# SOLUTION: Stream with iterator()
for user in User.objects.iterator(chunk_size=1000):
process(user)
Rule: Never call list() on unbounded querysets
# PROBLEM: Forces full evaluation into memory
all_users = list(User.objects.all())
# SOLUTION: Keep as queryset, slice if needed
users = User.objects.all()[:100]
Validation Checklist for Unbounded Querysets
- Table is large (10k+ rows) or will grow unbounded
- No pagination class, paginate_by, or slicing
- This runs on user-facing request (not background job with chunking)
Priority 3: Missing Indexes (HIGH)
Impact: Full table scans. Negligible on small tables, catastrophic on large ones.
Rule: Index fields used in WHERE clauses on large tables
# PROBLEM: Filtering on unindexed field
# User.objects.filter(email=email) # full scan if no index
class User(models.Model):
email = models.EmailField() # ← no db_index
# SOLUTION: Add index
class User(models.Model):
email = models.EmailField(db_index=True)
Rule: Index fields used in ORDER BY on large tables
# PROBLEM: Sorting requires full scan without index
Order.objects.order_by('-created')
# SOLUTION: Index the sort field
class Order(models.Model):
created = models.DateTimeField(db_index=True)
Rule: Use composite indexes for common query patterns
class Order(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
status = models.CharField(max_length=20)
created = models.DateTimeField()
class Meta:
indexes = [
models.Index(fields=['user', 'status']), # for filter(user=x, status=y)
models.Index(fields=['status', '-created']), # for filter(status=x).order_by('-created')
]
Validation Checklist for Missing Indexes
- Table has 10k+ rows
- Field is used in filter() or order_by() on hot path
- Checked model - no db_index=True or Meta.indexes entry
- Not a foreign key (already indexed automatically)
Priority 4: Write Loops (HIGH)
Impact: N database writes instead of 1. Lock contention. Slow requests.
Rule: Use bulk_create instead of create() in loops
# PROBLEM: N inserts, N round trips
for item in items:
Model.objects.create(name=item['name'])
# SOLUTION: Single bulk insert
Model.objects.bulk_create([
Model(name=item['name']) for item in items
])
Rule: Use update() or bulk_update instead of save() in loops
# PROBLEM: N updates
for obj in queryset:
obj.status = 'done'
obj.save()
# SOLUTION A: Single UPDATE statement (same value for all)
queryset.update(status='done')
# SOLUTION B: bulk_update (different values)
for obj in objects:
obj.status = compute_status(obj)
Model.objects.bulk_update(objects, ['status'], batch_size=500)
Rule: Use delete() on queryset, not in loops
# PROBLEM: N deletes
for obj in queryset:
obj.delete()
# SOLUTION: Single DELETE
queryset.delete()
Validation Checklist for Write Loops
- Loop iterates over 100+ items (or unbounded)
- Each iteration calls create(), save(), or delete()
- This runs on user-facing request (not one-time migration script)
Priority 5: Inefficient Patterns (LOW)
Rarely worth reporting. Include only as minor notes if you're already reporting real issues.
Pattern: count() vs exists()
# Slightly suboptimal
if queryset.count() > 0:
do_thing()
# Marginally better
if queryset.exists():
do_thing()
Usually skip - difference is <1ms in most cases.
Pattern: len(queryset) vs count()
# Fetches all rows to count
if len(queryset) > 0: # bad if queryset not yet evaluated
# Single COUNT query
if queryset.count() > 0:
Only flag if queryset is large and not already evaluated.
Pattern: get() in small loops
# N queries, but if N is small (< 20), often fine
for id in ids:
obj = Model.objects.get(id=id)
Only flag if loop is large or this is in a very hot path.
Validation Requirements
Before reporting ANY issue:
- Trace the data flow - Follow queryset from creation to consumption
- Search for existing optimizations - Grep for select_related, prefetch_related, pagination
- Verify data volume - Check if table is actually large
- Confirm hot path - Trace call sites, verify this runs frequently
- Rule out mitigations - Check for caching, rate limiting
If you cannot validate all steps, do not report.
Output Format
## Django Performance Review: [File/Component Name]
### Summary
Validated issues: X (Y Critical, Z High)
### Findings
#### [PERF-001] N+1 Query in UserListView (CRITICAL)
**Location:** `views.py:45`
**Issue:** Related field `profile` accessed in template loop without prefetch.
**Validation:**
- Traced: UserListView → users queryset → user_list.html → `{{ user.profile.bio }}` in loop
- Searched codebase: no select_related('profile') found
- User table: 50k+ rows (verified in admin)
- Hot path: linked from homepage navigation
**Evidence:**
```python
def get_queryset(self):
return User.objects.filter(active=True) # no select_related
Fix:
def get_queryset(self):
return User.objects.filter(active=True).select_related('profile')
If no issues found: "No performance issues identified after reviewing [files] and validating [what you checked]."
**Before submitting, sanity check each finding:**
- Does the severity match the actual impact? ("Minor inefficiency" ≠ CRITICAL)
- Is this a real performance issue or just a style preference?
- Would fixing this measurably improve performance?
If the answer to any is "no" - remove the finding.
---
## What NOT to Report
- Test files
- Admin-only views
- Management commands
- Migration files
- One-time scripts
- Code behind disabled feature flags
- Tables with <1000 rows that won't grow
- Patterns in cold paths (rarely executed code)
- Micro-optimizations (exists vs count, only/defer without evidence)
### False Positives to Avoid
**Queryset variable assignment is not an issue:**
```python
# This is FINE - no performance difference
projects_qs = Project.objects.filter(org=org)
projects = list(projects_qs)
# vs this - identical performance
projects = list(Project.objects.filter(org=org))
Querysets are lazy. Assigning to a variable doesn't execute anything.
Single query patterns are not N+1:
# This is ONE query, not N+1
projects = list(Project.objects.filter(org=org))
N+1 requires a loop that triggers additional queries. A single list() call is fine.
Missing select_related on single object fetch is not N+1:
# This is 2 queries, not N+1 - report as LOW at most
state = AutofixState.objects.filter(pr_id=pr_id).first()
project_id = state.request.project_id # second query
N+1 requires a loop. A single object doing 2 queries instead of 1 can be reported as LOW if relevant, but never as CRITICAL/HIGH.
Style preferences are not performance issues: If your only suggestion is "combine these two lines" or "rename this variable" - that's style, not performance. Don't report it.

name: doc-coauthoring description: Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
Doc Co-Authoring Workflow
This skill provides a structured workflow for guiding users through collaborative document creation. Act as an active guide, walking users through three stages: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing.
When to Offer This Workflow
Trigger conditions:
- User mentions writing documentation: "write a doc", "draft a proposal", "create a spec", "write up"
- User mentions specific doc types: "PRD", "design doc", "decision doc", "RFC"
- User seems to be starting a substantial writing task
Initial offer: Offer the user a structured workflow for co-authoring the document. Explain the three stages:
- Context Gathering: User provides all relevant context while Claude asks clarifying questions
- Refinement & Structure: Iteratively build each section through brainstorming and editing
- Reader Testing: Test the doc with a fresh Claude (no context) to catch blind spots before others read it
Explain that this approach helps ensure the doc works well when others read it (including when they paste it into Claude). Ask if they want to try this workflow or prefer to work freeform.
If user declines, work freeform. If user accepts, proceed to Stage 1.
Stage 1: Context Gathering
Goal: Close the gap between what the user knows and what Claude knows, enabling smart guidance later.
Initial Questions
Start by asking the user for meta-context about the document:
- What type of document is this? (e.g., technical spec, decision doc, proposal)
- Who's the primary audience?
- What's the desired impact when someone reads this?
- Is there a template or specific format to follow?
- Any other constraints or context to know?
Inform them they can answer in shorthand or dump information however works best for them.
If user provides a template or mentions a doc type:
- Ask if they have a template document to share
- If they provide a link to a shared document, use the appropriate integration to fetch it
- If they provide a file, read it
If user mentions editing an existing shared document:
- Use the appropriate integration to read the current state
- Check for images without alt-text
- If images exist without alt-text, explain that when others use Claude to understand the doc, Claude won't be able to see them. Ask if they want alt-text generated. If so, request they paste each image into chat for descriptive alt-text generation.
Info Dumping
Once initial questions are answered, encourage the user to dump all the context they have. Request information such as:
- Background on the project/problem
- Related team discussions or shared documents
- Why alternative solutions aren't being used
- Organizational context (team dynamics, past incidents, politics)
- Timeline pressures or constraints
- Technical architecture or dependencies
- Stakeholder concerns
Advise them not to worry about organizing it - just get it all out. Offer multiple ways to provide context:
- Info dump stream-of-consciousness
- Point to team channels or threads to read
- Link to shared documents
If integrations are available (e.g., Slack, Teams, Google Drive, SharePoint, or other MCP servers), mention that these can be used to pull in context directly.
If no integrations are detected and in Claude.ai or Claude app: Suggest they can enable connectors in their Claude settings to allow pulling context from messaging apps and document storage directly.
Inform them clarifying questions will be asked once they've done their initial dump.
During context gathering:
-
If user mentions team channels or shared documents:
- If integrations available: Inform them the content will be read now, then use the appropriate integration
- If integrations not available: Explain lack of access. Suggest they enable connectors in Claude settings, or paste the relevant content directly.
-
If user mentions entities/projects that are unknown:
- Ask if connected tools should be searched to learn more
- Wait for user confirmation before searching
-
As user provides context, track what's being learned and what's still unclear
Asking clarifying questions:
When user signals they've done their initial dump (or after substantial context provided), ask clarifying questions to ensure understanding:
Generate 5-10 numbered questions based on gaps in the context.
Inform them they can use shorthand to answer (e.g., "1: yes, 2: see #channel, 3: no because backwards compat"), link to more docs, point to channels to read, or just keep info-dumping. Whatever's most efficient for them.
Exit condition: Sufficient context has been gathered when questions show understanding - when edge cases and trade-offs can be asked about without needing basics explained.
Transition: Ask if there's any more context they want to provide at this stage, or if it's time to move on to drafting the document.
If user wants to add more, let them. When ready, proceed to Stage 2.
Stage 2: Refinement & Structure
Goal: Build the document section by section through brainstorming, curation, and iterative refinement.
Instructions to user: Explain that the document will be built section by section. For each section:
- Clarifying questions will be asked about what to include
- 5-20 options will be brainstormed
- User will indicate what to keep/remove/combine
- The section will be drafted
- It will be refined through surgical edits
Start with whichever section has the most unknowns (usually the core decision/proposal), then work through the rest.
Section ordering:
If the document structure is clear: Ask which section they'd like to start with.
Suggest starting with whichever section has the most unknowns. For decision docs, that's usually the core proposal. For specs, it's typically the technical approach. Summary sections are best left for last.
If user doesn't know what sections they need: Based on the type of document and template, suggest 3-5 sections appropriate for the doc type.
Ask if this structure works, or if they want to adjust it.
Once structure is agreed:
Create the initial document structure with placeholder text for all sections.
If access to artifacts is available:
Use create_file to create an artifact. This gives both Claude and the user a scaffold to work from.
Inform them that the initial structure with placeholders for all sections will be created.
Create artifact with all section headers and brief placeholder text like "[To be written]" or "[Content here]".
Provide the scaffold link and indicate it's time to fill in each section.
If no access to artifacts:
Create a markdown file in the working directory. Name it appropriately (e.g., decision-doc.md, technical-spec.md).
Inform them that the initial structure with placeholders for all sections will be created.
Create file with all section headers and placeholder text.
Confirm the filename has been created and indicate it's time to fill in each section.
For each section:
Step 1: Clarifying Questions
Announce work will begin on the [SECTION NAME] section. Ask 5-10 clarifying questions about what should be included:
Generate 5-10 specific questions based on context and section purpose.
Inform them they can answer in shorthand or just indicate what's important to cover.
Step 2: Brainstorming
For the [SECTION NAME] section, brainstorm [5-20] things that might be included, depending on the section's complexity. Look for:
Generate 5-20 numbered options based on section complexity. At the end, offer to brainstorm more if they want additional options.
Step 3: Curation
Ask which points should be kept, removed, or combined. Request brief justifications to help learn priorities for the next sections.
Provide examples:
- "Keep 1,4,7,9"
- "Remove 3 (duplicates 1)"
- "Remove 6 (audience already knows this)"
- "Combine 11 and 12"
If user gives freeform feedback (e.g., "looks good" or "I like most of it but...") instead of numbered selections, extract their preferences and proceed. Parse what they want kept/removed/changed and apply it.
Step 4: Gap Check
Based on what they've selected, ask if there's anything important missing for the [SECTION NAME] section.
Step 5: Drafting
Use str_replace to replace the placeholder text for this section with the actual drafted content.
Announce the [SECTION NAME] section will be drafted now based on what they've selected.
If using artifacts: After drafting, provide a link to the artifact.
Ask them to read through it and indicate what to change. Note that being specific helps learning for the next sections.
If using a file (no artifacts): After drafting, confirm completion.
Inform them the [SECTION NAME] section has been drafted in [filename]. Ask them to read through it and indicate what to change. Note that being specific helps learning for the next sections.
Key instruction for user (include when drafting the first section): Provide a note: Instead of editing the doc directly, ask them to indicate what to change. This helps learning of their style for future sections. For example: "Remove the X bullet - already covered by Y" or "Make the third paragraph more concise".
Step 6: Iterative Refinement
As user provides feedback:
- Use
str_replaceto make edits (never reprint the whole doc) - If using artifacts: Provide link to artifact after each edit
- If using files: Just confirm edits are complete
- If user edits doc directly and asks to read it: mentally note the changes they made and keep them in mind for future sections (this shows their preferences)
Continue iterating until user is satisfied with the section.
Quality Checking
After 3 consecutive iterations with no substantial changes, ask if anything can be removed without losing important information.
When section is done, confirm [SECTION NAME] is complete. Ask if ready to move to the next section.
Repeat for all sections.
Near Completion
As approaching completion (80%+ of sections done), announce intention to re-read the entire document and check for:
- Flow and consistency across sections
- Redundancy or contradictions
- Anything that feels like "slop" or generic filler
- Whether every sentence carries weight
Read entire document and provide feedback.
When all sections are drafted and refined: Announce all sections are drafted. Indicate intention to review the complete document one more time.
Review for overall coherence, flow, completeness.
Provide any final suggestions.
Ask if ready to move to Reader Testing, or if they want to refine anything else.
Stage 3: Reader Testing
Goal: Test the document with a fresh Claude (no context bleed) to verify it works for readers.
Instructions to user: Explain that testing will now occur to see if the document actually works for readers. This catches blind spots - things that make sense to the authors but might confuse others.
Testing Approach
If access to sub-agents is available (e.g., in Claude Code):
Perform the testing directly without user involvement.
Step 1: Predict Reader Questions
Announce intention to predict what questions readers might ask when trying to discover this document.
Generate 5-10 questions that readers would realistically ask.
Step 2: Test with Sub-Agent
Announce that these questions will be tested with a fresh Claude instance (no context from this conversation).
For each question, invoke a sub-agent with just the document content and the question.
Summarize what Reader Claude got right/wrong for each question.
Step 3: Run Additional Checks
Announce additional checks will be performed.
Invoke sub-agent to check for ambiguity, false assumptions, contradictions.
Summarize any issues found.
Step 4: Report and Fix
If issues found: Report that Reader Claude struggled with specific issues.
List the specific issues.
Indicate intention to fix these gaps.
Loop back to refinement for problematic sections.
If no access to sub-agents (e.g., claude.ai web interface):
The user will need to do the testing manually.
Step 1: Predict Reader Questions
Ask what questions people might ask when trying to discover this document. What would they type into Claude.ai?
Generate 5-10 questions that readers would realistically ask.
Step 2: Setup Testing
Provide testing instructions:
- Open a fresh Claude conversation: https://claude.ai
- Paste or share the document content (if using a shared doc platform with connectors enabled, provide the link)
- Ask Reader Claude the generated questions
For each question, instruct Reader Claude to provide:
- The answer
- Whether anything was ambiguous or unclear
- What knowledge/context the doc assumes is already known
Check if Reader Claude gives correct answers or misinterprets anything.
Step 3: Additional Checks
Also ask Reader Claude:
- "What in this doc might be ambiguous or unclear to readers?"
- "What knowledge or context does this doc assume readers already have?"
- "Are there any internal contradictions or inconsistencies?"
Step 4: Iterate Based on Results
Ask what Reader Claude got wrong or struggled with. Indicate intention to fix those gaps.
Loop back to refinement for any problematic sections.
Exit Condition (Both Approaches)
When Reader Claude consistently answers questions correctly and doesn't surface new gaps or ambiguities, the doc is ready.
Final Review
When Reader Testing passes: Announce the doc has passed Reader Claude testing. Before completion:
- Recommend they do a final read-through themselves - they own this document and are responsible for its quality
- Suggest double-checking any facts, links, or technical details
- Ask them to verify it achieves the impact they wanted
Ask if they want one more review, or if the work is done.
If user wants final review, provide it. Otherwise: Announce document completion. Provide a few final tips:
- Consider linking this conversation in an appendix so readers can see how the doc was developed
- Use appendices to provide depth without bloating the main doc
- Update the doc as feedback is received from real readers
Tips for Effective Guidance
Tone:
- Be direct and procedural
- Explain rationale briefly when it affects user behavior
- Don't try to "sell" the approach - just execute it
Handling Deviations:
- If user wants to skip a stage: Ask if they want to skip this and write freeform
- If user seems frustrated: Acknowledge this is taking longer than expected. Suggest ways to move faster
- Always give user agency to adjust the process
Context Management:
- Throughout, if context is missing on something mentioned, proactively ask
- Don't let gaps accumulate - address them as they come up
Artifact Management:
- Use
create_filefor drafting full sections - Use
str_replacefor all edits - Provide artifact link after every change
- Never use artifacts for brainstorming lists - that's just conversation
Quality over Speed:
- Don't rush through stages
- Each iteration should make meaningful improvements
- The goal is a document that actually works for readers

name: find-bugs description: Find bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code quality issues in local branch changes. Use when asked to review changes, find bugs, security review, or audit code on the current branch.
Find Bugs
Review changes on this branch for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code quality issues.
Phase 1: Complete Input Gathering
- Get the FULL diff:
git diff $(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')...HEAD - If output is truncated, read each changed file individually until you have seen every changed line
- List all files modified in this branch before proceeding
Phase 2: Attack Surface Mapping
For each changed file, identify and list:
- All user inputs (request params, headers, body, URL components)
- All database queries
- All authentication/authorization checks
- All session/state operations
- All external calls
- All cryptographic operations
Phase 3: Security Checklist (check EVERY item for EVERY file)
- Injection: SQL, command, template, header injection
- XSS: All outputs in templates properly escaped?
- Authentication: Auth checks on all protected operations?
- Authorization/IDOR: Access control verified, not just auth?
- CSRF: State-changing operations protected?
- Race conditions: TOCTOU in any read-then-write patterns?
- Session: Fixation, expiration, secure flags?
- Cryptography: Secure random, proper algorithms, no secrets in logs?
- Information disclosure: Error messages, logs, timing attacks?
- DoS: Unbounded operations, missing rate limits, resource exhaustion?
- Business logic: Edge cases, state machine violations, numeric overflow?
Phase 4: Verification
For each potential issue:
- Check if it's already handled elsewhere in the changed code
- Search for existing tests covering the scenario
- Read surrounding context to verify the issue is real
Phase 5: Pre-Conclusion Audit
Before finalizing, you MUST:
- List every file you reviewed and confirm you read it completely
- List every checklist item and note whether you found issues or confirmed it's clean
- List any areas you could NOT fully verify and why
- Only then provide your final findings
Output Format
Prioritize: security vulnerabilities > bugs > code quality
Skip: stylistic/formatting issues
For each issue:
- File:Line - Brief description
- Severity: Critical/High/Medium/Low
- Problem: What's wrong
- Evidence: Why this is real (not already fixed, no existing test, etc.)
- Fix: Concrete suggestion
- References: OWASP, RFCs, or other standards if applicable
If you find nothing significant, say so - don't invent issues.
Do not make changes - just report findings. I'll decide what to address.

name: iterate-pr description: Iterate on a PR until CI passes. Use when you need to fix CI failures, address review feedback, or continuously push fixes until all checks are green. Automates the feedback-fix-push-wait cycle.
Iterate on PR Until CI Passes
Continuously iterate on the current branch until all CI checks pass and review feedback is addressed.
Requires: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated.
Important: All scripts must be run from the repository root directory (where .git is located), not from the skill directory. Use the full path to the script via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}.
Bundled Scripts
scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py
Fetches CI check status and extracts failure snippets from logs.
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER]
Returns JSON:
{
"pr": {"number": 123, "branch": "feat/foo"},
"summary": {"total": 5, "passed": 3, "failed": 2, "pending": 0},
"checks": [
{"name": "tests", "status": "fail", "log_snippet": "...", "run_id": 123},
{"name": "lint", "status": "pass"}
]
}
scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py
Fetches and categorizes PR review feedback using the LOGAF scale.
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py [--pr NUMBER]
Returns JSON with feedback categorized as:
high- Must address before merge (h:, blocker, changes requested)medium- Should address (m:, standard feedback)low- Optional (l:, nit, style, suggestion)bot- Automated comments (Codecov, Sentry, etc.)resolved- Already resolved threads
Workflow
1. Identify PR
gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName
Stop if no PR exists for the current branch.
2. Check CI Status
Run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py to get structured failure data.
Wait if pending: If bot-related checks (sentry, codecov, cursor, bugbot, seer) are still running, wait before proceeding—they may post additional feedback.
3. Fix CI Failures
For each failure in the script output:
- Read the
log_snippetto understand the failure - Read the relevant code before making changes
- Fix the issue with minimal, targeted changes
Do NOT assume what failed based on check name alone—always read the logs.
4. Gather Review Feedback
Run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py to get categorized feedback.
5. Handle Feedback by LOGAF Priority
Auto-fix (no prompt):
high- must address (blockers, security, changes requested)medium- should address (standard feedback)
Prompt user for selection:
low- present numbered list and ask which to address:
Found 3 low-priority suggestions:
1. [l] "Consider renaming this variable" - @reviewer in api.py:42
2. [nit] "Could use a list comprehension" - @reviewer in utils.py:18
3. [style] "Add a docstring" - @reviewer in models.py:55
Which would you like to address? (e.g., "1,3" or "all" or "none")
Skip silently:
resolvedthreadsbotcomments (informational only)
6. Commit and Push
git add <files>
git commit -m "fix: <descriptive message>"
git push
7. Wait for CI
gh pr checks --watch --interval 30
8. Repeat
Return to step 2 if CI failed or new feedback appeared.
Exit Conditions
Success: All checks pass, no unaddressed high/medium feedback, user has decided on low-priority items.
Ask for help: Same failure after 3 attempts, feedback needs clarification, infrastructure issues.
Stop: No PR exists, branch needs rebase.
Fallback
If scripts fail, use gh CLI directly:

Security Review Skill
Identify exploitable security vulnerabilities in code. Report only HIGH CONFIDENCE findings—clear vulnerable patterns with attacker-controlled input.
Scope: Research vs. Reporting
CRITICAL DISTINCTION:
- Report on: Only the specific file, diff, or code provided by the user
- Research: The ENTIRE codebase to build confidence before reporting
Before flagging any issue, you MUST research the codebase to understand:
- Where does this input actually come from? (Trace data flow)
- Is there validation/sanitization elsewhere?
- How is this configured? (Check settings, config files, middleware)
- What framework protections exist?
Do NOT report issues based solely on pattern matching. Investigate first, then report only what you're confident is exploitable.
Confidence Levels
| Level | Criteria | Action |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Vulnerable pattern + attacker-controlled input confirmed | Report with severity |
| MEDIUM | Vulnerable pattern, input source unclear | Note as "Needs verification" |
| LOW | Theoretical, best practice, defense-in-depth | Do not report |
Do Not Flag
General Rules
- Test files (unless explicitly reviewing test security)
- Dead code, commented code, documentation strings
- Patterns using constants or server-controlled configuration
- Code paths that require prior authentication to reach (note the auth requirement instead)
Server-Controlled Values (NOT Attacker-Controlled)
These are configured by operators, not controlled by attackers:
| Source | Example | Why It's Safe |
|---|---|---|
| Django settings | settings.API_URL, settings.ALLOWED_HOSTS |
Set via config/env at deployment |
| Environment variables | os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL') |
Deployment configuration |
| Config files | config.yaml, app.config['KEY'] |
Server-side files |
| Framework constants | django.conf.settings.* |
Not user-modifiable |
| Hardcoded values | BASE_URL = "https://api.internal" |
Compile-time constants |
SSRF Example - NOT a vulnerability:
# SAFE: URL comes from Django settings (server-controlled)
response = requests.get(f"{settings.SEER_AUTOFIX_URL}{path}")
SSRF Example - IS a vulnerability:
# VULNERABLE: URL comes from request (attacker-controlled)
response = requests.get(request.GET.get('url'))
Framework-Mitigated Patterns
Check language guides before flagging. Common false positives:
| Pattern | Why It's Usually Safe |
|---|---|
Django {{ variable }} |
Auto-escaped by default |
React {variable} |
Auto-escaped by default |
Vue {{ variable }} |
Auto-escaped by default |
User.objects.filter(id=input) |
ORM parameterizes queries |
cursor.execute("...%s", (input,)) |
Parameterized query |
innerHTML = "<b>Loading...</b>" |
Constant string, no user input |
Only flag these when:
- Django:
{{ var|safe }},{% autoescape off %},mark_safe(user_input) - React:
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: userInput}} - Vue:
v-html="userInput" - ORM:
.raw(),.extra(),RawSQL()with string interpolation
Review Process
1. Detect Context
What type of code am I reviewing?
| Code Type | Load These References |
|---|---|
| API endpoints, routes | authorization.md, authentication.md, injection.md |
| Frontend, templates | xss.md, csrf.md |
| File handling, uploads | file-security.md |
| Crypto, secrets, tokens | cryptography.md, data-protection.md |
| Data serialization | deserialization.md |
| External requests | ssrf.md |
| Business workflows | business-logic.md |
| GraphQL, REST design | api-security.md |
| Config, headers, CORS | misconfiguration.md |
| CI/CD, dependencies | supply-chain.md |
| Error handling | error-handling.md |
| Audit, logging | logging.md |
2. Load Language Guide
Based on file extension or imports:
| Indicators | Guide |
|---|---|
.py, django, flask, fastapi |
languages/python.md |
.js, .ts, express, react, vue, next |
languages/javascript.md |
.go, go.mod |
languages/go.md |
.rs, Cargo.toml |
languages/rust.md |
.java, spring, @Controller |
languages/java.md |
3. Load Infrastructure Guide (if applicable)
| File Type | Guide |
|---|---|
Dockerfile, .dockerignore |
infrastructure/docker.md |
| K8s manifests, Helm charts | infrastructure/kubernetes.md |
.tf, Terraform |
infrastructure/terraform.md |
GitHub Actions, .gitlab-ci.yml |
infrastructure/ci-cd.md |
| AWS/GCP/Azure configs, IAM | infrastructure/cloud.md |
4. Research Before Flagging
For each potential issue, research the codebase to build confidence:
- Where does this value actually come from? Trace the data flow.
- Is it configured at deployment (settings, env vars) or from user input?
- Is there validation, sanitization, or allowlisting elsewhere?
- What framework protections apply?
Only report issues where you have HIGH confidence after understanding the broader context.
5. Verify Exploitability
For each potential finding, confirm:
Is the input attacker-controlled?
| Attacker-Controlled (Investigate) | Server-Controlled (Usually Safe) |
|---|---|
request.GET, request.POST, request.args |
settings.X, app.config['X'] |
request.json, request.data, request.body |
os.environ.get('X') |
request.headers (most headers) |
Hardcoded constants |
request.cookies (unsigned) |
Internal service URLs from config |
URL path segments: /users/<id>/ |
Database content from admin/system |
| File uploads (content and names) | Signed session data |
| Database content from other users | Framework settings |
| WebSocket messages |
Does the framework mitigate this?
- Check language guide for auto-escaping, parameterization
- Check for middleware/decorators that sanitize
Is there validation upstream?
- Input validation before this code
- Sanitization libraries (DOMPurify, bleach, etc.)
6. Report HIGH Confidence Only
Skip theoretical issues. Report only what you've confirmed is exploitable after research.
Severity Classification
| Severity | Impact | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Direct exploit, severe impact, no auth required | RCE, SQL injection to data, auth bypass, hardcoded secrets |
| High | Exploitable with conditions, significant impact | Stored XSS, SSRF to metadata, IDOR to sensitive data |
| Medium | Specific conditions required, moderate impact | Reflected XSS, CSRF on state-changing actions, path traversal |
| Low | Defense-in-depth, minimal direct impact | Missing headers, verbose errors, weak algorithms in non-critical context |
Quick Patterns Reference
Always Flag (Critical)
eval(user_input) # Any language
exec(user_input) # Any language
pickle.loads(user_data) # Python
yaml.load(user_data) # Python (not safe_load)
unserialize($user_data) # PHP
deserialize(user_data) # Java ObjectInputStream
shell=True + user_input # Python subprocess
child_process.exec(user) # Node.js
Always Flag (High)
innerHTML = userInput # DOM XSS
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={user} # React XSS
v-html="userInput" # Vue XSS
f"SELECT * FROM x WHERE {user}" # SQL injection
`SELECT * FROM x WHERE ${user}` # SQL injection
os.system(f"cmd {user_input}") # Command injection
Always Flag (Secrets)
password = "hardcoded"
api_key = "sk-..."
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "..."
private_key = "-----BEGIN"
Check Context First (MUST Investigate Before Flagging)
# SSRF - ONLY if URL is from user input, NOT from settings/config
requests.get(request.GET['url']) # FLAG: User-controlled URL
requests.get(settings.API_URL) # SAFE: Server-controlled config
requests.get(f"{settings.BASE}/{x}") # CHECK: Is 'x' user input?
# Path traversal - ONLY if path is from user input
open(request.GET['file']) # FLAG: User-controlled path
open(settings.LOG_PATH) # SAFE: Server-controlled config
open(f"{BASE_DIR}/{filename}") # CHECK: Is 'filename' user input?
# Open redirect - ONLY if URL is from user input
redirect(request.GET['next']) # FLAG: User-controlled redirect
redirect(settings.LOGIN_URL) # SAFE: Server-controlled config
# Weak crypto - ONLY if used for security purposes
hashlib.md5(file_content) # SAFE: File checksums, caching
hashlib.md5(password) # FLAG: Password hashing
random.random() # SAFE: Non-security uses (UI, sampling)
random.random() for token # FLAG: Security tokens need secrets module

Source: ~/.claude/skills/sentry-skill-creator/SKILL.md
name: skill-creator description: Create new agent skills following the Agent Skills specification. Use when asked to "create a skill", "add a new skill", "write a skill", "make a skill", "build a skill", or scaffold a new skill with SKILL.md. Guides through requirements, writing, registration, and verification.
Create a New Skill
Guide the user through creating a new agent skill following the Agent Skills specification. Follow each step in order.
Step 1: Understand the Skill
Gather requirements before writing anything.
Ask the user:
- What should this skill do? (one sentence)
- When should an agent use it? (trigger phrases)
- What tools does the skill need? (Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Task, WebFetch, etc.)
- Where should the skill live? (which plugin or directory)
Determine the skill name:
- Lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens, 1-64 characters
- Descriptive and unique among existing skills
- Check the target skills directory to avoid name collisions
Choose a complexity tier:
| Tier | Structure | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | SKILL.md only |
Self-contained instructions under ~200 lines |
| With references | SKILL.md + references/ |
Domain knowledge that agents load conditionally |
| With scripts | SKILL.md + scripts/ |
Workflow automation needing Python scripts |
| Full | All of the above | Complex skills with automation and domain knowledge |
Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/design-principles.md for guidance on keeping skills focused and concise.
Step 2: Study Existing Skills
Before writing, study 1-2 existing skills that match the chosen tier. Look for skills in the target repository or plugin to understand local conventions.
Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/skill-patterns.md for concrete examples of each tier.
Also read CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md) at the repository root for repo-specific conventions that the skill should follow.
Step 3: Write the SKILL.md
Create <skill-directory>/<name>/SKILL.md.
Frontmatter
The YAML frontmatter must be the first thing in the file. No comments or blank lines before ---.
---
name: <skill-name>
description: <what it does>. Use when <trigger phrases>. <key capabilities>.
---
Required fields:
name— must match the directory name exactlydescription— up to 1024 chars; include trigger keywords that help agents match user intent
Optional fields:
model— override model (sonnet,opus,haiku); omit to use the user's defaultallowed-tools— space-delimited list (e.g.,Read Grep Glob Bash Task); omit to allow all toolslicense— license name or path (add when vendoring external content)
Body Guidelines
Write the body in imperative voice — these are instructions, not documentation.
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| "Read the file and extract..." | "This skill reads the file and extracts..." |
| "Report only HIGH confidence findings" | "The agent should report only HIGH confidence findings" |
| "Ask the user which option to use" | "You may want to ask the user..." |
Structure:
- Start with a one-line summary of what the skill does
- Organize steps with
## Step N: Titleheadings - Use tables for decision logic and mappings
- Include concrete examples of expected output
- End with validation criteria or exit conditions
Size limits:
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines
- If approaching the limit, move reference material to
references/files - Load reference files conditionally based on context (not all at once)
Attribution
If the skill is based on or adapted from external sources, add an HTML comment after the frontmatter closing ---:
---
name: example
description: ...
---
<!--
Based on [Original Name] by [Author/Org]:
https://github.com/example/original-source
-->
Step 4: Create Supporting Files
References (references/)
Use for domain knowledge the agent loads conditionally.
<name>/
├── SKILL.md
└── references/
├── topic-a.md
└── topic-b.md
Reference from SKILL.md with:
Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/topic-a.md` for details on [topic].
Keep each reference file focused on one topic. Use markdown with tables and code blocks.
Scripts (scripts/)
Use for workflow automation that benefits from structured Python.
<name>/
├── SKILL.md
└── scripts/
└── do_thing.py
Script requirements:
- Always use
uv runto execute:uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/do_thing.py - Add PEP 723 inline metadata for dependencies:
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = ["requests"]
# ///
- Output structured JSON for agent consumption
- Run from the repository root, not the skill directory
- Document the script's interface in SKILL.md (arguments, output format)
Assets (assets/)
Use for static files the skill references (templates, configs, etc.).
LICENSE
Include a LICENSE file in the skill directory when vendoring content with specific licensing requirements.
Step 5: Register the Skill
Registration steps vary by repository. Check the repository's CLAUDE.md or README.md for specific instructions.
- Verify directory-name match — confirm the directory name matches the
namefield in SKILL.md frontmatter exactly - Update documentation — add the skill to any skills index or table in README.md
- Update permissions — if the repo has
.claude/settings.json, addSkill(<plugin>:<name>)to thepermissions.allowarray - Check CLAUDE.md — read the repository's
CLAUDE.mdfor any additional registration steps specific to that project
Step 6: Verify
Run through this checklist before finishing:
Frontmatter
-
namematches directory name -
descriptionis under 1024 characters -
descriptionincludes trigger keywords - No content before the opening
---
Content
- SKILL.md is under 500 lines
- Written in imperative voice
- Steps are numbered and clear
- Examples of expected output included
- Reference files loaded conditionally (not unconditionally)
Registration
- Directory name matches frontmatter
name - Skill added to repo documentation (README or equivalent)
- Permissions updated (if applicable)
- Any repo-specific registration steps completed (check CLAUDE.md)
Scripts (if applicable)
- Uses
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/... - Has PEP 723 inline metadata
- Outputs structured JSON
- Documented in SKILL.md
Report any issues found and fix them before completing.

Skill Security Scanner
Scan agent skills for security issues before adoption. Detects prompt injection, malicious code, excessive permissions, secret exposure, and supply chain risks.
Important: Run all scripts from the repository root using the full path via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}.
Bundled Script
scripts/scan_skill.py
Static analysis scanner that detects deterministic patterns. Outputs structured JSON.
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/scan_skill.py <skill-directory>
Returns JSON with findings, URLs, structure info, and severity counts. The script catches patterns mechanically — your job is to evaluate intent and filter false positives.
Workflow
Phase 1: Input & Discovery
Determine the scan target:
- If the user provides a skill directory path, use it directly
- If the user names a skill, look for it under
plugins/*/skills/<name>/or.claude/skills/<name>/ - If the user says "scan all skills", discover all
*/SKILL.mdfiles and scan each
Validate the target contains a SKILL.md file. List the skill structure:
ls -la <skill-directory>/
ls <skill-directory>/references/ 2>/dev/null
ls <skill-directory>/scripts/ 2>/dev/null
Phase 2: Automated Static Scan
Run the bundled scanner:
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/scan_skill.py <skill-directory>
Parse the JSON output. The script produces findings with severity levels, URL analysis, and structure information. Use these as leads for deeper analysis.
Fallback: If the script fails, proceed with manual analysis using Grep patterns from the reference files.
Phase 3: Frontmatter Validation
Read the SKILL.md and check:
- Required fields:
nameanddescriptionmust be present - Name consistency:
namefield should match the directory name - Tool assessment: Review
allowed-tools— is Bash justified? Are tools unrestricted (*)? - Model override: Is a specific model forced? Why?
- Description quality: Does the description accurately represent what the skill does?
Phase 4: Prompt Injection Analysis
Load ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/prompt-injection-patterns.md for context.
Review scanner findings in the "Prompt Injection" category. For each finding:
- Read the surrounding context in the file
- Determine if the pattern is performing injection (malicious) or discussing/detecting injection (legitimate)
- Skills about security, testing, or education commonly reference injection patterns — this is expected
Critical distinction: A security review skill that lists injection patterns in its references is documenting threats, not attacking. Only flag patterns that would execute against the agent running the skill.
Phase 5: Behavioral Analysis
This phase is agent-only — no pattern matching. Read the full SKILL.md instructions and evaluate:
Description vs. instructions alignment:
- Does the description match what the instructions actually tell the agent to do?
- A skill described as "code formatter" that instructs the agent to read ~/.ssh is misaligned
Config/memory poisoning:
- Instructions to modify
CLAUDE.md,MEMORY.md,settings.json,.mcp.json, or hook configurations - Instructions to add itself to allowlists or auto-approve permissions
- Writing to
~/.claude/or any agent configuration directory
Scope creep:
- Instructions that exceed the skill's stated purpose
- Unnecessary data gathering (reading files unrelated to the skill's function)
- Instructions to install other skills, plugins, or dependencies not mentioned in the description
Information gathering:
- Reading environment variables beyond what's needed
- Listing directory contents outside the skill's scope
- Accessing git history, credentials, or user data unnecessarily
Phase 6: Script Analysis
If the skill has a scripts/ directory:
- Load
${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/dangerous-code-patterns.mdfor context - Read each script file fully (do not skip any)
- Check scanner findings in the "Malicious Code" category
- For each finding, evaluate:
- Data exfiltration: Does the script send data to external URLs? What data?
- Reverse shells: Socket connections with redirected I/O
- Credential theft: Reading SSH keys, .env files, tokens from environment
- Dangerous execution: eval/exec with dynamic input, shell=True with interpolation
- Config modification: Writing to agent settings, shell configs, git hooks
- Check PEP 723
dependencies— are they legitimate, well-known packages? - Verify the script's behavior matches the SKILL.md description of what it does
Legitimate patterns: gh CLI calls, git commands, reading project files, JSON output to stdout are normal for skill scripts.
Phase 7: Supply Chain Assessment
Review URLs from the scanner output and any additional URLs found in scripts:
- Trusted domains: GitHub, PyPI, official docs — normal
- Untrusted domains: Unknown domains, personal sites, URL shorteners — flag for review
- Remote instruction loading: Any URL that fetches content to be executed or interpreted as instructions is high risk
- Dependency downloads: Scripts that download and execute binaries or code at runtime
- Unverifiable sources: References to packages or tools not on standard registries
Phase 8: Permission Analysis
Load ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/permission-analysis.md for the tool risk matrix.
Evaluate:
- Least privilege: Are all granted tools actually used in the skill instructions?
- Tool justification: Does the skill body reference operations that require each tool?
- Risk level: Rate the overall permission profile using the tier system from the reference
Example assessments:
Read Grep Glob— Low risk, read-only analysis skillRead Grep Glob Bash— Medium risk, needs Bash justification (e.g., running bundled scripts)Read Grep Glob Bash Write Edit WebFetch Task— High risk, near-full access
Confidence Levels
| Level | Criteria | Action |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Pattern confirmed + malicious intent evident | Report with severity |
| MEDIUM | Suspicious pattern, intent unclear | Note as "Needs verification" |
| LOW | Theoretical, best practice only | Do not report |
False positive awareness is critical. The biggest risk is flagging legitimate security skills as malicious because they reference attack patterns. Always evaluate intent before reporting.
