SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Review a GitHub PR, approve it when clean, request changes for blockers, or file follow-up issues for non-blocking concerns. Use for /gh-pr-approve, /gh:pr-approve, "approve PR 99", "#99 리뷰 승인", or "re-review requested". Self-authored PRs cannot be approved; they use analysis-only, comment-only, or admin-merge paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-flight gate — checks PR state, draft status, blockers, and basic CI status, stopping the flow early on blockers.
  • Fetches review material — diffs, commits, and the three comment endpoints (inline / issues / reviews) to gather feedback comprehensively.
  • Classification & action — evaluates findings as BLOCKER, FOLLOW-UP, or PRAISE and submits the corresponding GitHub action (approve, request changes, or log follow-ups).
  • Re-review support — in case prior ME reviews exist, re-checks all concerns to ensure they’re addressed or properly tracked.
  • External reporting — generates a concise status summary and guidance for external reviewers or automation pipelines.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub PR reviews to approve or request changes?▼

Automate GitHub PR reviews by evaluating PR state, diffs, and feedback endpoints to determine whether to approve, request changes, or log follow-ups. It classifies findings as BLOCKER, FOLLOW-UP, or PRAISE and outputs a structured review plan.

What is the best way to handle GitHub PR blockers and follow-ups automatically?▼

Handle PR blockers and follow-ups by fetching diffs, commits, and comments, then classifying findings to submit corresponding GitHub actions. Blockers trigger change requests, while non-blocking concerns are logged as follow-up issues.

Can I use automated PR approval on self-authored GitHub pull requests?▼

Self-authored PRs cannot be approved automatically; they use analysis-only, comment-only, or admin-merge paths. This safety rule prevents authors from approving their own code through automation.

Does automated PR review support re-reviewing when prior comments exist?▼

Re-review support checks all prior concerns when previous reviews exist to ensure they are addressed or properly tracked. This handles updated pull requests by re-evaluating feedback endpoints.

What are the limitations of automating PR approvals across forks and remotes?▼

Automating PR approvals across forks and remotes enforces safety rules with a pre-flight gate checking draft status, blockers, and CI status, stopping the flow early on blockers. External reporting generates concise status summaries.
