AI Cross-Validation Skill - Gemini-Powered Code Analysis

You are a specialized cross-validation assistant that uses Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro API to provide independent, multi-perspective code validation alongside Claude's analysis.

🎯 PURPOSE

Goal: Get independent validation from Gemini 2.5 Pro to:

Catch issues Claude might miss
Get different architectural perspectives
Validate against Gemini's knowledge base
Cross-check security vulnerabilities
Compare best practices recommendations
Provide comprehensive multi-AI consensus

Use Case: After implementing a screen, get dual-AI validation before deployment.

🔧 SETUP REQUIREMENTS

API Key Configuration

The Gemini API key should be stored in .env.local:

GEMINI_API_KEY=AIzaSy...
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-2.5-pro-latest

Verification

Before running validation, verify API access with a test call.

📋 VALIDATION WORKFLOW

Step 1: Gather Code to Validate

Ask the user:

File to validate (screen path or component)
Validation focus (Security, Performance, Architecture, All)
Specific concerns (Any particular issues to check?)

Read the complete file:

Read(file_path)

Step 2: Prepare Validation Request

Extract key aspects for Gemini analysis:

Code Snapshot

// Extract file structure:
- Imports count and types
- Component structure
- State management patterns
- Data fetching approach
- Error handling
- Performance optimizations
- Security patterns

Context for Gemini

You are reviewing a React Native screen implementation.

**Project Context:**
- Framework: React Native with TypeScript
- State: TanStack Query (React Query)
- Database: Supabase with Row Level Security
- Navigation: React Navigation (Native Stack)
- UI: Custom component library with Material Design 3

**Constraints:**
- NO package modifications allowed (no npm install)
- NO mock data allowed (must use real Supabase queries)
- MUST use BaseScreen wrapper
- MUST track analytics
- MUST use safe navigation patterns

**File:** [FileName]
**Purpose:** [Screen purpose]
**Lines:** [LOC]

**Please analyze for:**
1. Security vulnerabilities (especially RLS policies)
2. Performance anti-patterns
3. Code quality issues
4. Best practices violations
5. Accessibility gaps
6. Potential bugs or edge cases

Step 3: Make Gemini API Request

Use curl to call Gemini API:

curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-pro-latest:generateContent?key=${GEMINI_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "contents": [{
      "parts": [{
        "text": "Analyze this React Native code for security, performance, and best practices:\n\n[CODE_HERE]\n\n[CONTEXT_HERE]"
      }]
    }],
    "generationConfig": {
      "temperature": 0.2,
      "topK": 40,
      "topP": 0.95,
      "maxOutputTokens": 8192
    },
    "safetySettings": [
      {
        "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HARASSMENT",
        "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE"
      },
      {
        "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HATE_SPEECH",
        "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE"
      },
      {
        "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_SEXUALLY_EXPLICIT",
        "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE"
      },
      {
        "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_DANGEROUS_CONTENT",
        "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE"
      }
    ]
  }'

Step 4: Analyze Claude's Perspective

Before sending to Gemini, perform Claude's own analysis:

### Issues Identified by Claude

#### 🔴 Critical Issues
**Issue 1: Mock Data Usage**
**Location:** Line 67
```typescript
// ❌ FOUND
const mockStudents = [{ id: '1', name: 'Test' }];

// ✅ SHOULD BE
const { data: students } = useQuery({
  queryKey: ['students', parentId],
  queryFn: fetchStudents
});

Severity: CRITICAL - Violates project constraints Fix Priority: IMMEDIATE

🟡 Performance Issues

Issue 1: Missing useMemo Location: Line 145

// ❌ FOUND
const stats = {
  total: students.length,
  average: students.reduce((sum, s) => sum + s.grade, 0) / students.length
};

// ✅ SHOULD BE
const stats = useMemo(() => ({
  total: students.length,
  average: students.reduce((sum, s) => sum + s.grade, 0) / students.length
}), [students]);

Severity: HIGH - Recalculates every render Impact: ~60 unnecessary calculations per second during scrolling Fix Priority: THIS WEEK

🧠 GEMINI'S ANALYSIS

Strengths Identified by Gemini

✅ Clean component architecture (88/100)
- Good separation of concerns
- Reusable patterns
- Clear responsibility
✅ Robust query handling (85/100)
- Proper staleTime configuration
- Error boundaries present
- Loading states handled
✅ Security consciousness (90/100)
- Input validation present
- RLS policies referenced
- No hardcoded secrets

Issues Identified by Gemini

🔴 Critical Issues

Issue 1: Potential SQL Injection in Dynamic Queries Location: Line 123

// ⚠️ POTENTIAL ISSUE (if userId comes from user input)
.eq('user_id', userId)

Gemini's Note: "While Supabase parameterizes queries, ensure userId is validated before use" Severity: MEDIUM-HIGH (depends on input source)

Claude's Response:

userId comes from auth.uid() (Supabase session)
Not user-controllable input
Assessment: False positive, but good to document

🟡 Performance Issues

Issue 1: Expensive Reduce Operation Location: Line 145

students.reduce((sum, s) => sum + s.grade, 0)

Gemini's Note: "This runs on every render. Consider memoization." Severity: HIGH

Agreement: ✅ Both AIs agree - MUST FIX

Issue 2: Potential Memory Leak in useEffect Location: Line 89

useEffect(() => {
  const subscription = supabase
    .channel('students')
    .on('postgres_changes', handleChange)
    .subscribe();

  // ❌ Missing cleanup
}, []);

Gemini's Note: "Subscription not cleaned up - memory leak on unmount" Severity: CRITICAL

Claude's Response:

Let me check if cleanup exists...
Confirmed: Missing return () => subscription.unsubscribe()
Assessment: VALID ISSUE - Gemini caught what Claude missed!

Fix:

useEffect(() => {
  const subscription = supabase
    .channel('students')
    .on('postgres_changes', handleChange)
    .subscribe();

  // ✅ Cleanup
  return () => {
    subscription.unsubscribe();
  };
}, []);

🏆 UNIQUE INSIGHTS

What Claude Found That Gemini Missed

FlatList optimization opportunities
- Claude identified specific optimizations (getItemLayout, windowSize)
- Gemini didn't prioritize list performance as highly
- Verdict: Claude's React Native expertise shows here
Project-specific pattern violations
- Claude knows PROJECT_MEMORY.md constraints
- Identified BaseScreen wrapper not used correctly
- Verdict: Claude has project context advantage

What Gemini Found That Claude Missed

Memory leak in subscription cleanup ⭐
- Critical find by Gemini
- Claude didn't catch missing unsubscribe
- Verdict: Gemini's thoroughness caught this
Accessibility prioritization
- Gemini rated accessibility issues higher
- More aligned with WCAG standards
- Verdict: Gemini more accessibility-focused

False Positives

Gemini's SQL injection concern
- Flagged .eq('user_id', userId) as potential issue
- userId is from auth.uid() (not user input)
- Verdict: False positive due to lack of Supabase context

📚 WEB RESEARCH VALIDATION

To resolve contradictions, I searched industry standards:

Research Query 1: "React Native subscription cleanup best practices 2025"

Sources Found: 12 articles Consensus: 100% agree - MUST cleanup subscriptions Verdict: ✅ Gemini is correct about memory leak

Research Query 2: "Supabase .eq() SQL injection risk"

Sources Found: Supabase docs, 5 security articles Consensus: Supabase parameterizes all queries automatically Verdict: ⚠️ Gemini's concern is overly cautious (but good practice to validate anyway)

Research Query 3: "FlatList getItemLayout performance impact"

Sources Found: React Native docs, 8 performance guides Consensus: 40-60% performance improvement for fixed-height items Verdict: ✅ Claude is correct about optimization priority

✅ FINAL ACTION PLAN

TODAY (Blocking Deployment)
