About flows-code-review
flows-code-review is a skill that runs the technical review stage of Cognite Flows app certification. It organizes review rounds, obtains current review checks, and specifies the report artifacts and approval status to record.
Key features
- 01Check repository and app-brief prerequisites
- 02Select the next feedback round
- 03Fetch current review checks
- 04Write review files and scored report
- 05Track open findings in a summary
Use cases
- 01Run a technical review for a Flows app
- 02Repeat reviews after must-fix changes
- 03Prepare artifacts for design review and submission

Details
From the project READMEFlows 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.jsonexists- We are inside a git repository (
git rev-parse --git-dir) - If
App-Brief.mdis missing at repo root, warn thatflows-app-briefshould 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. 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:
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:
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
Then Glob '**/skills/flows-review-checks/SKILL.md' and Read the first match (after a successful pull, that is the copy you just fetched). Follow it completely: hunt (including code-quality searches — do not apply its fixes), packages, coverage, scores, categorization, shared verify.
Step 2 — Write artifacts here
Round dir: reviews/code-review/feedback-round-<N>/
| Shared output | Filename here |
|---|---|
| File inventory | review-files.md |
| Hunt + must/should/nice | review-findings.md |
| Package audit | review-packages.md |
| Scored report | code-review-report.md |
code-review-report.md must include everything flows-review-checks requires (checks performed, coverage scope, scores 1.1 and 1.3–1.6, 2.1–2.6, 3.1, must/should/nice with _Impact:_ on Must Fix), plus:
# [App name] — Flows code review
This document is the platform review for [App name], conducted as part of the Cognite Flows app certification process.
## Path to approval
This review found **[N] must-fix item(s)** that block approval. Once the must-fix items are addressed, re-run `flows-code-review`.
### Reviewed commit
`<full SHA>`
End code-review-report.md with this block (required by flows-external-app-submit):
## Summary
- Must Fix open: <integer>
- Should Fix open: <integer>
- Nice Fix open: <integer>
Use exactly those labels. When all Must Fix items are resolved: Must Fix open: 0.
Step 3 — Runner verify
After flows-review-checks Step 6:
- The four files above exist in this round’s folder.
- This run pulled (or, in
builder-skills, already had) currentflows-review-checksandcode-qualityfromcognitedata/builder-skillsbefore scoring. - Print:
Must Fix open: <n>
Should Fix open: <n>
Nice Fix open: <n>
When to stop
Re-run this skill until Must Fix open: 0 in the latest round’s code-review-report.md. Only then proceed to flows-design-review.
