solo-review

What This Skill Does

The solo-review skill serves as the ultimate quality gate for any OpenClaw-managed project. It is a comprehensive, self-contained auditing tool designed to run before code deployment or as a final check after a build process. Rather than delegating tasks to external agents or sub-agents, solo-review executes a structured, multi-dimensional pipeline to ensure your codebase meets high-quality standards. It performs automated test suite execution, security audits (using pattern-based scanning for secrets), acceptance criteria verification against your project's spec.md, and dependency analysis. The outcome is a detailed, ship-ready report that provides a clear 'go/no-go' verdict based on factual data from your environment.

Installation

You can integrate this skill directly into your OpenClaw environment by running the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/fortunto2/solo-review

Use Cases

• Post-Build Validation: Use it immediately after a /build command to verify that the generated code is stable and production-ready.
• Deployment Readiness: Act as a mandatory checkpoint before executing a /deploy command to minimize the risk of shipping broken code.
• Periodic Auditing: Run it on existing codebases to check for regression, adherence to architectural patterns defined in CLAUDE.md, and potential security vulnerabilities.
• Acceptance Verification: Ensure that the implemented features match the exact requirements outlined in the project's planning documentation (docs/plan/*/spec.md).

Example Prompts

1. "The build just finished successfully. Can you run a solo-review to see if we are ready to ship this version?"
2. "I've completed the refactor. Please perform a final quality check to ensure the acceptance criteria in the spec are met."
3. "Run a full security and quality review on the current project to identify any red flags before I merge this to main."

Tips & Limitations

• Makefile Priority: The skill is designed to respect project conventions. If a Makefile is detected in your root directory, it will prioritize make targets (e.g., make test, make lint) over generic CLI commands. Always define clear make targets for your workflows to get the most accurate results.
• Context Awareness: The skill is not intended for planning or feature development. If you need to build code or define roadmaps, use /build or /plan instead.
• Smart Analysis: By utilizing codegraph_query, the skill identifies 'hub files'—the most interconnected parts of your system—to ensure audits focus on the most impactful areas of your code rather than performing random, exhaustive file scans. This optimizes performance and reliability.
