Code Reviewer

Jeff Allan

One sweep across everything at once: correctness, security, N+1 queries, naming, architecture and test coverage, returned as a single prioritised report. Breadth in one pass, where the specialised reviewers each go deep on one axis.

Another skill is also called Code Reviewer

Same name, different author, different job. If more than one is installed, the one that runs is whichever the agent matches first.

A situation it fits

A new contributor opens an 800-line PR. You want one prioritised list covering bugs, slow queries, confusing names and missing tests - not four separate review passes to reconcile.
Code Reviewer. The ask is breadth in a SINGLE pass with one priority order. That is this one's whole design. security-review goes deep on one axis only, the spec reviewer needs a ticket to compare against, and the vendor engine returns its own report rather than the consolidated sweep you asked for.

Skills it gets confused with

These share a family with Code Reviewer, which is another way of saying they are the ones you might reach for by mistake.
