Code Reviewer

CodeRabbit

Hands the diff to a commercial review engine and reports what it finds: vulnerabilities, code smells, convention breaches, performance traps and likely bugs. You are buying somebody else's trained reviewer rather than running your own checklist.

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

Your team already pays for an AI review service and likes its findings. You just want them in the terminal next to the diff instead of on a web page you have to go and open.
Code Reviewer. The scenario does not ask for a review to be performed - it asks for an existing service's findings to be surfaced where you work. This is the one that calls out to that commercial engine. The other three run their own analysis and would ignore the subscription you are already paying for.

Skills it gets confused with
