Overview
A Claude Code skill that implements Fagan’s formal software inspection methodology — a structured, systematic approach to code review that was pioneered at IBM and proven to catch defects early.
How It Works
Run /fagan-inspect on a file or PR to get a structured review following the formal inspection process:
- Planning: Identifies scope and review criteria
- Overview: Summarizes the code’s purpose and architecture
- Preparation: Individual review with defect logging
- Inspection: Systematic walkthrough with categorized findings
- Rework: Prioritized action items by severity
- Follow-up: Verification checklist
Each defect is classified by type (logic, interface, data, control flow) and severity (critical, major, minor, cosmetic).
