Code Review Helper

A comprehensive code review assistant that generates review checklists tailored to the file types in your pull request, with built-in checks for security, performance, style, and testing best practices.

Overview

Code Review Helper automates the tedious parts of code review by scanning changed files and producing:
  • File-type-specific checklists (JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, SQL, etc.)
  • Security audit items (injection, auth, secrets, input validation)
  • Performance review points (N+1 queries, memory leaks, complexity)
  • Style consistency checks (naming, formatting, import ordering)
  • Test coverage reminders (missing tests, edge cases, mocks)
  • PR review templates ready to paste into GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket
This skill helps reviewers be thorough and consistent, reducing the chance of overlooked issues reaching production.

Installation

Via ClawHub

``bash openclaw install code-review-helper `

Manual Installation

  • Copy the skill to your OpenClaw skills directory:
`bash mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/ cp -r code-review-helper/ ~/.openclaw/skills/ `
  • Make the script executable:
`bash chmod +x ~/.openclaw/skills/code-review-helper/scripts/review.sh `
  • Verify the installation:
`bash openclaw list --installed `

Requirements

  • git (version 2.0 or higher)
  • bash (version 4.0 or higher)
  • Standard Unix utilities: awk, grep, sed, sort, wc
Compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows (via Git Bash, WSL, or MSYS2).

Usage

Basic Usage

Run inside a git repository with staged or committed changes: `bash openclaw run code-review-helper ` By default, this analyzes the diff between your current branch and main.

Command-Line Options

`bash openclaw run code-review-helper [OPTIONS] Options: --base Base branch for comparison (default: main) --head Head branch/ref to review (default: HEAD) --pr Pull request number (fetches diff from remote) --files Glob pattern to filter files (e.g., "src//*.py") --security Run security checks only --performance Run performance checks only --style Run style checks only --tests Run test coverage checks only --all Run all check categories (default) --severity Minimum severity: critical, warning, info (default: info) --output Output format: markdown, json, text (default: markdown) --output-file Write checklist to a file instead of stdout --template Generate a blank PR review template --template-style Template style: minimal, standard, thorough (default: standard) `

Direct Script Execution

`bash ./scripts/review.sh --base develop --head feature/auth-refactor `

Configuration

skill.json Settings

`json { "config": { "check_security": true, "check_performance": true, "check_style": true, "check_tests": true, "severity_levels": ["critical", "warning", "info"], "output_format": "markdown" } } ` | Setting | Type | Default | Description | |----------------------|---------|------------|-----------------------------------------| | check_security | boolean | true | Enable security-related checks | | check_performance | boolean | true | Enable performance-related checks | | check_style | boolean | true | Enable style and formatting checks | | check_tests | boolean | true | Enable test coverage checks | | severity_levels | array | all three | Which severity levels to include | | output_format | string | "markdown" | Default output format |

Environment Variables

`bash export CRH_BASE_BRANCH=develop export CRH_SEVERITY=warning export CRH_OUTPUT=json export CRH_CHECKS=security,performance `

Check Categories

Security Checks

The security module scans for common vulnerabilities and risky patterns: | Check | Languages | Severity | |---------------------------|------------------|----------| | Hardcoded secrets/tokens | All | Critical | | SQL injection patterns | Python, JS, Go | Critical | | Command injection | Python, JS, Bash | Critical | | Insecure deserialization | Python, Java | Critical | | Missing input validation | All | Warning | | Unsafe regex patterns | All | Warning | | HTTP instead of HTTPS | All | Warning | | Disabled security headers | JS, Python | Warning | | Eval/exec usage | Python, JS | Warning | | Weak cryptography | All | Warning | | Missing CSRF protection | Python, JS | Info | | Verbose error messages | All | Info |

Performance Checks

The performance module identifies potential bottlenecks: | Check | Languages | Severity | |------------------------------|----------------|----------| | N+1 query patterns | Python, JS | Critical | | Missing database indexes | SQL | Warning | | Unbounded list operations | All | Warning | | Synchronous I/O in async | Python, JS | Warning | | Large object in memory | All | Warning | | Missing pagination | Python, JS, Go | Warning | | Redundant re-computation | All | Info | | Unoptimized imports | Python, JS | Info | | String concatenation in loop | Python, Go | Info |

Style Checks

The style module enforces consistency: | Check | Languages | Severity | |---------------------------|-----------|----------| | Inconsistent naming | All | Warning | | Mixed tabs and spaces | All | Warning | | Import ordering | Python, JS| Info | | Line length violations | All | Info | | Missing docstrings | Python | Info | | Dead code / unused vars | All | Info | | TODO/FIXME/HACK comments | All | Info | | Magic numbers | All | Info |

Test Checks

The test module verifies adequate coverage: | Check | Languages | Severity | |------------------------------|------------|----------| | No tests for new functions | All | Warning | | Missing edge case tests | All | Warning | | Mocking external services | All | Info | | Assert count per test | All | Info | | Test naming conventions | All | Info | | Integration test present | All | Info |

PR Review Templates

Generate a ready-to-use review template: `bash openclaw run code-review-helper --template --template-style thorough `

Template Styles

Minimal -- Quick reviews for small changes: `markdown

Review

  • [ ] Changes look correct
  • [ ] No obvious security issues
  • [ ] Tests pass
` Standard -- Balanced review for typical PRs: `markdown

Review Summary

Reviewer: ___ Date: ___

Correctness

  • [ ] Logic is correct and handles edge cases
  • [ ] Error handling is appropriate

Security

  • [ ] No hardcoded secrets
  • [ ] Input is validated and sanitized

Performance

  • [ ] No obvious performance regressions
  • [ ] Database queries are optimized

Tests

  • [ ] New code has test coverage
  • [ ] Existing tests still pass

Notes

_Additional comments here_ ` Thorough -- Deep review for critical changes (includes all sections from the Standard template plus architecture, documentation, deployment, and rollback considerations).

Examples

Review changes between branches

`bash openclaw run code-review-helper --base main --head feature/payments `

Security-only review

`bash openclaw run code-review-helper --security --severity critical `

Review specific files

`bash openclaw run code-review-helper --files "src/auth//*.py" `

Generate JSON report for automation

`bash openclaw run code-review-helper --output json --output-file review.json `

Review a specific PR by number

`bash openclaw run code-review-helper --pr 142 `

Generate a thorough review template

`bash openclaw run code-review-helper --template --template-style thorough `

Integration with CI/CD

Add automated review checks to your pipeline: `yaml
  • name: Code Review Checks
run: | openclaw run code-review-helper \ --base ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }} \ --head ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }} \ --severity warning \ --output json \ --output-file review-results.json
  • name: Post Review Comment
if: always() run: | openclaw run code-review-helper \ --base ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }} \ --output markdown \ --output-file review-comment.md gh pr comment ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }} \ --body-file review-comment.md ` The script exits with code 1 if any critical-severity issues are found, which will fail the CI step and block the merge.

Language Support

| Language | Security | Performance | Style | Tests | |------------|----------|-------------|-------|-------| | Python | Full | Full | Full | Full | | JavaScript | Full | Full | Full | Full | | TypeScript | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Go | Full | Partial | Full | Full | | Rust | Partial | Partial | Full | Full | | Java | Partial | Partial | Full | Full | | SQL | Full | Full | N/A | N/A | | Bash/Shell | Partial | N/A | Full | N/A | | Ruby | Partial | Partial | Full | Full |

Troubleshooting

"No changes found" message

Ensure there are actual differences between the base and head branches: `bash git diff main...HEAD --stat `

Script takes too long

For large diffs (1000+ files), filter to specific directories: `bash openclaw run code-review-helper --files "src/" `

False positives in security checks

Some patterns may trigger false positives. You can suppress specific checks by adding a .crh-ignore file to your repository root: `

.crh-ignore

Ignore specific check IDs

SEC-001 # Hardcoded secrets (we use test fixtures) PERF-003 # Unbounded list (known safe in this context) ``
