Maintainer Review Agent Skill
Review a GitHub issue or pull request URL as a redis-py maintainer, with a staged assessment of whether the claim is real, practically important, already solvable with supported functionality, correctly scoped, better served by another design, and worth maintainer and contributor effort. Use when assessing issue validity or severity, deciding whether an issue should be prioritized or closed, determining whether a requested feature represents an unmet need rather than a discoverability or usage gap, judging whether a PR is worth bringing to mergeable quality, comparing open PRs or alternative designs, separating code quality from repository readiness, or drafting a concise maintainer assessment. When closure, additional evidence, or code changes should be requested, also produce a polite, concise, complete, copy-paste-ready maintainer comment.

PostgreSQL-specific code review assistant focusing on PostgreSQL best practices, anti-patterns, and unique quality standards. Covers JSONB operations, array usage, custom types, schema design, function optimization, and PostgreSQL-exclusive security features like Row Level Security (RLS).
Extract the inner ELF from a ClickHouse self-extracting `clickhouse` binary, including when its architecture differs from the host (e.g. to load an aarch64 CI core dump on an x86 workstation). Use when gdb/lldb needs real symbols from a downloaded CI/release binary, or when self-extraction by running the binary is not possible because of an architecture mismatch.
> Fix CI failures and address code-review comments on a pull request that targets the protected `release` branch of `ClickHouse/clickhouse-js`. Release PRs are snapshots of `main` (their head branch is usually `main` itself) and cannot be edited directly — branch protection blocks pushing fixes onto them. Use this skill whenever the work is "fix the CI / address the review comments separate PR to `main`, then closes the loop on the original release PR by replying to and resolving the review threads. Triggers on phrasing like "fix this release PR", "the release PR is failing CI", "address the review comments but it's a release branch", or after checking out a PR whose base is `release`. Do NOT use this for ordinary feature/fix PRs that target `main` — for those, just push to the PR's own branch.
Django performance code review. Use when asked to "review Django performance", "find N+1 queries", "optimize Django", "check queryset performance", "database performance", "Django ORM issues", or audit Django code for performance problems.
WordPress performance code review and optimization analysis. Use when reviewing WordPress PHP code for performance issues, auditing themes/plugins for scalability, optimizing WP_Query, analyzing caching strategies, checking code before launch, or detecting anti-patterns, or when user mentions "performance review", "optimization audit", "slow WordPress", "slow queries", "high-traffic", "scale WordPress", "code review", "timeout", "500 error", "out of memory", or "site won't load". Detects anti-patterns in database queries, hooks, object caching, AJAX, and template loading.
> Review a ClickHouse docs page before shipping. Runs the self-review checklist, Vale linting, and PR review rubric. Use when doing a final check, running Vale, or when asked "is this ready to ship."
Reviews sqlx database code for compile-time query checking, connection pool management, migration patterns, and PostgreSQL-specific usage. Use when reviewing Rust code that uses sqlx, database queries, connection pools, or migrations. Covers offline mode, type mapping, and transaction patterns.
Universal SQL code review assistant that performs comprehensive security, maintainability, and code quality analysis across all SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle). Focuses on SQL injection prevention, access control, code standards, and anti-pattern detection. Complements SQL optimization prompt for complete development coverage.
