Failure Patterns Prevented for Automated Code Reviewer

Without This Rule (Default LLM Behavior)Vulnerable

Codebases accumulate dead code, unhandled async errors, and subtle security bugs. This skill equips Claude Code with a rigorous 5-step auditing framework.

Hallucination Symptoms
  • Invokes deprecated or removed APIs from older model training weights
  • Generates conflicting configuration files and invalid imports
  • Silently drops type-safety, boundaries, or transaction isolation
With This Rule (Guaranteed Invariants)Deterministic
Scan repository manifests to map stack idioms before evaluating logic.
Audit authentication gates, token validation, and error propagation.
Categorize all findings into CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW severity.
Deliver surgical refactoring patches with before/after rationale.
04 / REPOSITORY PLACEMENT & 3-STEP TERMINAL INSTALLATION

How to Install Automated Code Reviewer Windsurf Cascade Rules via Terminal

1

Step 1: Open Project Directory & Verify Target Placement

Open your terminal and navigate to your project root folder where the .windsurf/rules/codebase-auditor.md file will reside. Ensure the file is placed at the exact path below relative to your project root so the AI engine automatically loads it:

.windsurf/rules/codebase-auditor.md
2

Step 2: Fetch Rule File via Terminal Command

Run curl, PowerShell, or wget to stream the rule directly from the DevScratchpad raw API endpoint and write it to .windsurf/rules/codebase-auditor.md:

Terminal One-Liner Install

Run directly in your project root to stream and write this rule file with one command.

Raw API Stream
$mkdir -p ".windsurf/rules" && curl -fsSL "https://www.devscratchpad.tech/api/raw/windsurf-rules/codebase-auditor" -o ".windsurf/rules/codebase-auditor.md"

Step 3: Verify and Activate with AI Agent

Launch your AI coding assistant (Universal AI Assistants). The assistant will automatically discover .windsurf/rules/codebase-auditor.md in your repository and apply the architectural guardrails, type constraints, and verification protocols during code generation.
