How do I get a structured pull request review before merging?▼

A structured pull request review analyzes your branch to produce actionable assessments across correctness, maintainability, and performance. It runs parallel specialist checks to surface issues and generate a consolidated final report.

What is the best way to split a large pull request for easier code review?▼

The best way to split a large pull request involves analyzing the branch structure to generate targeted PR splitting guidance. This process evaluates logical boundaries within changes to recommend manageable, review-ready chunks.

Can I run a code review on a local git branch without GitHub authentication?▼

You can run a code review on a local git branch without GitHub authentication. The process requires git and gh for integration but includes fallback behavior when authentication is unavailable.

Does merge readiness assessment work with standard git and gh commands?▼

Merge readiness assessment works with standard git and gh commands. It requires git and gh for GitHub integration, with optional jq for JSON parsing to evaluate whether changes are ready to merge.

How does a sanity check evaluate a feature branch before a PR?▼

A sanity check evaluates a feature branch by performing a combined pre-PR shape check and merge-ready review. It applies multi-perspective assessments to identify potential issues before opening a pull request.

What are the limitations of automated branch review without jq installed?▼

Without jq installed, automated branch review limitations include reduced JSON parsing capabilities. The process falls back to basic behavior when parsing GitHub API responses, potentially affecting the depth of structured report generation.
