Code Review

AI-powered code review using Google's Gemini to analyze Python (and other) codebases.

Setup

  1. Get a Gemini API key from https://aistudio.google.com
  2. Add to TOOLS.md: GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here
  3. Or set as environment variable

Features

Reviews: Full project or single files — catches bugs, security issues, performance problems, race conditions

Fixes: Generates specific code fixes for critical issues found

Debug: Analyzes error descriptions + code to identify likely causes

Usage

review /path/to/project    → Review all Python files in directory
review /path/to/file.py    → Review single file
review <code_snippet>      → Review inline code

How it works

  1. Recursively finds all .py files in path
  2. Sends each file to Gemini with context-appropriate prompts
  3. Parallel execution for speed
  4. Compiles findings into prioritized report:
    • 🔴 Critical (security, race conditions, potential losses)
    • 🟡 Important (bugs, error handling, API issues)
    • 🟢 Suggestions (best practices, maintainability)

Focus areas by file type

FileFocus
Trading botsRace conditions, risk calculation errors, order logic
APIsAuth handling, retry logic, timeout behavior
State/DBAtomicity, corruption risk, concurrent access
ML/AILookahead bias, overfitting, data leakage

Example output

📊 Code Review: trading-bot/

🔴 CRITICAL
• scanner.py: Race condition in flip logic (close→entry not atomic)
• risk_manager.py: Stale order logic wrong for LIMIT orders

🟡 IMPORTANT  
• oanda_api.py: No retry on 429/5xx errors
• state.py: Non-atomic JSON writes

🟢 SUGGESTIONS
• Centralize API calls to reduce rate limit risk
• Add file locking for concurrent state access

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • filelock package (for state files): pip install filelock
  • Gemini API key (free tier works)
