This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 19, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Ran a real review on a Python file with a SQL-injection delete and a duplicated query string: the skill's inline checklist produced a structured, BLOCKING-classified 'not approved for commit' report, but found the same defects a plain review already catches. Its 'Required References' (solid.md, dry-patterns.md, quality-gates.md) live at the plugin level and are absent when you copy the skill folder alone, and user-invocable:false means it is built to be called by the plugin's task-completer rather than to auto-trigger standalone.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 6/10
  • Docs & honesty 3/5

What Code Pattern Checker does

A pre-commit code-review skill that checks changed files against SOLID, DRY, security and purposeful-code principles, then emits a gated PASS/ISSUES report with BLOCKING items. Triggers on 'check my code', 'review this', 'validate standards' or before a commit. It is a sub-skill of the ai-dev-assistant plugin, so full depth needs the whole plugin installed.

How to install Code Pattern Checker

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Commands — how to trigger Code Pattern Checker

  • /code-pattern-checker Stack-neutral pre-commit review against SOLID, DRY, security and dead-code

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Check my code for SOLID violations and security issues before commit.
  • Review this function for quality and dead code before I commit it.
  • Validate this module against our coding standards before merging.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Code Pattern Checker skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from camoa/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Code Pattern Checker work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 19, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Ran a real review on a Python file with a SQL-injection delete and a duplicated query string: the skill's inline checklist produced a structured, BLOCKING-classified 'not approved for commit' report, but found the same defects a plain review already catches. Its 'Required References' (solid.md, dry-patterns.md, quality-gates.md) live at the plugin level and are absent when you copy the skill folder alone, and user-invocable:false means it is built to be called by the plugin's task-completer rather than to auto-trigger standalone.
What is the Code Pattern Checker SkillProof Score?
7.2/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
How do I install Code Pattern Checker?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Code Pattern Checker with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
