## What it does

The skill acts as an automated local runner for certifying Cognite Flows applications. It verifies that the project is a valid git repository containing `package.json` before starting. If `App-Brief.md` is missing from the root directory, it prints a warning to run `flows-app-brief` first, then proceeds with the evaluation.

Scoring rules are not kept locally. The tool downloads fresh checks from `cognitedata/builder-skills` via `@cognite/cli` or directly from GitHub, loading both `flows-review-checks` and `code-quality`. It runs audits from the repository root to evaluate coverage scope, packages, and code issues.

Each execution writes artifacts into `reviews/code-review/feedback-round-<N>/`, outputting file lists, package audits, findings, and a final scored report. Advancing to `flows-design-review` requires reaching zero unresolved Must Fix findings.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill flows-code-review -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/flows-code-review/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/flows-code-review/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill flows-code-review -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/flows-code-review/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill flows-code-review -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/flows-code-review/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install cognitedata/builder-skills flows-code-review
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/flows-code-review/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill flows-code-review -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/cognitedata/builder-skills --path skills/flows-code-review
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/flows-code-review/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cognitedata/builder-skills --skill flows-code-review -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/cognitedata/builder-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/flows-code-review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- run pre-certification code reviews for Cognite Flows apps
- generate structured feedback folders across audit rounds
- audit external packages and verify test coverage scopes
- track blocking Must Fix items alongside the reviewed commit SHA

## Example prompts
- Run flows-code-review on this repository
- Execute technical review step for Flows certification
- Check app code quality and update reviews/code-review report

# Flows Code Review

This skill is the **local runner** for the technical review step:

```
flows-app-brief  →  build  →  flows-code-review (this skill, repeat until clean)  →  flows-design-review  →  flows-external-app-submit
```

**Checks and scoring live in `flows-review-checks`.** Do not copy them here. Do not score from memory. Do not substitute `test-coverage` or other **fix** skills for the review bar.

This file only decides: git/app-brief pre-checks, feedback-round folder, that the working directory is the app root, where to write files, and the submitter Summary block.

## Pre-checks

- `package.json` exists
- We are inside a git repository (`git rev-parse --git-dir`)
- If `App-Brief.md` is missing at repo root, warn that `flows-app-brief` should be run first, but continue

Feedback round: look at `reviews/code-review/`. If it doesn't exist, use `feedback-round-1/`. Otherwise the next missing round number.

Working directory for all review commands: **repo root** (the app).

## Step 1 — Pull latest checks from `cognitedata/builder-skills`, then run them

Every review run must start by taking **`flows-review-checks` and `code-quality` from [cognitedata/builder-skills](https://github.com/cognitedata/builder-skills)**. Do not score from whatever is already in the app’s `skills/` folder.

**If this workspace already is `builder-skills`** (`git remote` contains `cognitedata/builder-skills`): you are in that repo — `Read` local `skills/flows-review-checks/SKILL.md` (it loads local `code-quality`).

**Otherwise** (reviewing an app): pull those two skills from this repo, then read them:

```bash
npx @cognite/cli@latest apps skills pull --skill flows-review-checks
npx @cognite/cli@latest apps skills pull --skill code-quality
```

If the CLI pull fails, get the same two files from `main`:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cognitedata/builder-skills/main/skills/flows-review-checks/SKILL.md
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cognitedata/builder-skills/main/skills/code-quality/SKILL.md
```
