Ran it against a two-endpoint Express snippet: a naive pass caught only the obvious SQL-injection string interpolation, but the checklist surfaced four Critical findings the naive pass missed entirely — an IDOR on the orders route, an unauthenticated password-reset endpoint, plaintext password storage, and no rate limiting.

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

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Code Review Checklist does

A systematic PR-review methodology covering security, performance, correctness, maintainability, and testing, each with a concrete checklist (SQL injection, IDOR, race conditions, N+1 queries, memory leaks, and more), a three-pass review process, and Critical/Major/Minor/Nitpick severity labels so authors know exactly what blocks merge. Use when reviewing pull requests, setting team review standards, or training new reviewers on what to look for.
