Structured code review for security, performance, correctness, and maintainability across PR diffs and file changes.
Works with
Audits security risks including SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication flaws, and credential exposure
Identifies performance issues like N+1 queries, memory leaks, algorithmic complexity, and resource leaks
Checks correctness for edge cases, race conditions, error handling, and type safety gaps
Works standalone with diffs and file paths; integrates with source con
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioncode-reviewExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches code-review from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate code-review. Access via /code-review in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
