Pre-Push Codebase Audit

As a senior engineer, you're doing the final review before pushing this code to GitHub. Check everything carefully and fix problems as you find them.

When to Use This Skill

• User requests "audit the codebase" or "review before push"
• Before making the first push to GitHub
