## What it is
A curated code review checklist by Dr. Michaela Greiler that helps developers and teams perform more effective and efficient code reviews. It covers implementation quality, bugs, error handling, dependencies, security, performance, and usability as actionable checklist items.

## Use cases

- maturity: active
- function: code-review, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, testing
