SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the time engineers spend on the first-pass review of GitHub pull requests by automatically identifying correctness, security, and test coverage issues and surfacing actionable, file- and line-specific comments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fetches PR diffs via the configured MCP GitHub integration and evaluates each changed file against a structured checklist.
  • Focused review guidance that prioritizes correctness, edge cases, naming clarity, security, and test coverage while skipping style-only nits.
  • Automated reporting and logging: drafts constructive review comments, posts them as comments (never approves or requests changes), and logs a one-line summary to cloud memory.
  • Use Case: Run this on a new feature branch PR to quickly surface logic errors, missing tests, and potential security risks before a human performs a deeper review.

Quick Start

Review PR #123 on owner/repo and post an initial automated review comment summarizing issues and recommended fixes.

FAQPage Schema
What issues does an automated PR review check for?

To automate an initial code review on a GitHub pull request, this Skill fetches PR diffs via the MCP pr_diff tool and evaluates them against a checklist covering correctness, edge cases, naming, security, and tests. It then posts file- and line-specific comments and logs a one-line summary.

How do I trigger an automated code review on a specific pull request?

You can trigger an automated code review by referencing the pull request number or URL, or by explicitly requesting a review. The Skill also supports automatically detecting PRs via a heartbeat mechanism to perform an initial sweep without manual invocation.

Can I use automated code review to approve pull requests on GitHub?

Yes, you can use automated code review to analyze pull requests by referencing them via number or URL. The Skill fetches the PR diffs through the configured MCP GitHub integration and supports automatic PR detection via heartbeat.

Does automated code review work with any GitHub pull request?

No, the automated code review never approves or requests changes on pull requests. It drafts constructive file- and line-specific comments and posts them to GitHub, leaving the final decision to human reviewers.

What are the limitations of an automated initial code review sweep?

The automated code review sweep evaluates diffs against a checklist focusing on correctness, edge cases, naming, security, and tests. It skips style-only nits and never approves or requests changes, serving only as an initial sweep before human review.
