# Review code like a senior engineer (C++)

> Review order, comment quality, and scope discipline making PRs fast and kind.

**Track:** 🧰 Engineering Essentials · **Domain:** Code Quality · **Level:** foundation · **~25 min**

**Who this is for:** All Software Engineers

## When to Use This Skill

Review order, comment quality, and scope discipline making PRs fast and kind.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Read description and tests FIRST to learn intent
2. Check correctness and security before style nits
3. Comment questions/observations vs required-changes distinctly
4. Keep nitpicks batched as one optional pass
5. Approve explicitly when remaining items are optional
6. Aim same-day first response; latency kills momentum
7. Sanitizer builds (ASan/UBSan) in CI before perf tuning
8. Profile with perf/VTune; watch cache lines and allocations

## Common Pitfalls

- Style wars the formatter should own
- LGTM rubber-stamps on 2000-line diffs
