Reviews PostgreSQL and MySQL tables (schema.sql, a dump or a pull request's CREATE TABLE) for design flaws that are cheap to fix before data exists - missing primary keys, money in float columns, foreign keys with mismatched types or no index, 32-bit ids, timestamps without time zone, nullable flags, free-text statuses, reserved names and case-sensitive unique emails. Returns corrected DDL. Includes a stdlib Python linter with --self-test.
Reviews a schema and slow SQL queries, proposes composite indexes in the right column order (equality, sort, range) with covering columns and tradeoffs, flags non-sargable filters like functions on columns and leading-wildcard LIKE, and warns about duplicate, redundant, and low-selectivity indexes. Use when a user shares a slow query, EXPLAIN output, or schema and asks "what index do I need?" or "too many indexes?". Includes a tested stdlib Python helper.
Reviews PostgreSQL and MySQL schema migrations (raw SQL or ORM-generated) for table locks, rewrites, data loss, and breaking changes, then proposes safe zero-downtime rewrites with a clear verdict.
Compares an OpenAPI YAML/JSON spec to a list of implemented routes and flags drift: missing operations, extra routes, method mismatches, and path-parameter shape differences. Use when reviewing API PRs, before a release, or asking "does our code still match the OpenAPI?". Includes a stdlib Python checker with --self-test.
Reviews SQL queries and optional EXPLAIN output for common performance problems such as SELECT *, functions or casts on indexed columns, leading-wildcard LIKE, N+1 query loops, OR across columns vs UNION ALL, AND/OR precedence slips, NOT IN subqueries, deep OFFSET paging, seq scans and disk sorts. Explains each problem and gives a rewritten query. Includes a stdlib Python checker with --self-test.
Flags oversized pull requests before review and suggests how to split them into small, reviewable stacks.
Watches your app's language files: catches new or changed UI text that is missing translations, drafts them in your app's tone, and flags strings that will break layouts or placeholders.
Reviews database migrations in pull requests for locking, data loss and rollback risk before they reach production.
Compares OpenAPI or GraphQL schema changes in pull requests and warns about breaking changes for existing clients.
