SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of reviewing code changes, whether they are local pre-push commits or open pull requests on GitHub, ensuring code quality, security, and adherence to best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Code Review: Analyze staged or unstaged changes against a base branch to identify common issues like debug statements, secrets, or merge conflicts.
  • Pull Request Review: Fetch and analyze PR details, diffs, and files. Leave inline comments, general comments, or submit formal reviews (Approve/Request Changes).
  • Use Case: Before pushing your code, ask the agent to "review my local changes" to catch potential bugs or security flaws. For an open PR, ask it to "review PR #123" to get a comprehensive analysis and feedback.

Quick Start

Review the code changes in the current branch against main.
