⚠ 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-checkerStack-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.
