Council Review

samjhudson01/council-review

Perform a rigorous Carmack Council code review. Use when explicitly asked to review code, do a "council review", "carmack review", or invoke /council-review. Carmack's philosophy chairs a council of domain experts — Troy Hunt (security), Martin Fowler (refactoring), Kent C. Dodds (frontend), Matteo Collina (Node.js), Brandur Leach (Postgres), Vercel Performance, Simon Willison (LLM pipelines), Karri Saarinen (UI quality), Vitaly Friedman (UX quality), Kent Beck (test quality). Uses parallel subagents for deep, independent review. Produces prioritised P1/P2/P3 findings. Stack: Next.js App Router / React / TypeScript / tRPC / Prisma / Neon / Clerk.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take samjhudson01/council-review from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
