Five Power Rangers for SOLID Code Reviews

How to get effective code quality reviews with Claude and Codex? With the force of five Power Rangers, of course!

SOLID principles are one of the most battle-tested frameworks for evaluating object-oriented design. So I encoded them into a free plugin that gives Claude Code and Codex a systematic audit methodology — not “this looks fine,” but severity-rated findings with precise locations, clear explanations of why each violation matters, and concrete refactoring suggestions.

The reason why I am sharing it is that people really seem to like it.

  • “I am in love with Florian’s SOLID skills! Highly recommend checking them out!” — Paul Buetow, Principal Site Reliability Engineer
  • “This skill is my most used, very handy when resurrecting 12-year-old codes.” — Vlad-Marian MARIAN, Secure Systems Architect
  • “This plugin is solid.” — Jimmy Liikala, Senior Full-Stack Engineer

After installing, simply type /solid and get an instant analysis covering:

  • Single Responsibility (SRP)
  • Open/Closed (OCP)
  • Liskov Substitution (LSP)
  • Interface Segregation (ISP)
  • Dependency Inversion (DIP)

Each violation comes with a severity rating (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW), the exact location, a clear explanation, and concrete refactoring guidance. Want to focus on just one principle? Run /solid srp or /solid ocp.

Works with any OO language — Python, Java, TypeScript, C#, C++, Kotlin, Go, Rust, and more.

Install in three steps from your Claude CLI session:

claude plugin marketplace add florianbuetow/claude-code
claude plugin install solid-principles

Restart Claude CLI and type /solid.
