Sherlock Review performs evidence-based code investigation using deductive reasoning to verify implementation claims and find root causes. It systematically analyzes code, tests, and history to determine what actually happened versus what was reported. Use this skill for validating fixes, investigating bugs, or conducting rigorous code reviews.

This skill provides direct, unfiltered technical criticism for code reviews, testing, or architectural decisions by channeling distinct analytical modes. It surgically identifies flaws and their root causes without sugar-coating, aimed at situations requiring harsh reality checks. Developers should use it when they need rigorous, no-nonsense feedback to expose broken logic or insufficient rigor.

This skill provides direct, unfiltered technical criticism for code reviews, testing, or architectural decisions, modeled after the precision of expert critics. It operates in three distinct modes—technical accuracy, quality standards, and logic validation—to deliver surgical feedback without sugar-coating. Use it when you need a harsh reality check to identify exactly what is broken and why.

Sherlock-review is an evidence-based code review skill that uses deductive reasoning to verify implementation claims, investigate bugs, and perform root cause analysis. It systematically compares observed evidence against stated claims through a process of observation, deduction, and elimination. This skill is ideal for developers needing to validate fixes or conduct objective technical investigations.
