SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you review code changes quickly and consistently before merge, whether you are checking local diffs or evaluating an open GitHub pull request. It reduces the risk of shipping bugs, security issues, and unclear implementation choices by giving you a structured review workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Change Review: Inspect staged or branch diffs with a quality, security, and correctness checklist before you push.
  • GitHub PR Review: Gather PR details, inspect changed files, and review branch diffs through gh or the GitHub REST API.
  • Inline and Summary Feedback: Draft severity-ranked review comments, approve changes, request changes, or leave general review notes in a consistent format.
  • Use Case: A developer opens a pull request with authentication changes, and you need to identify a SQL injection risk, suggest a refactor, and leave an inline comment on the exact line.

Quick Start

Ask me to review pull request number 123 and return a structured summary with any critical issues, warnings, suggestions, and positives.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a GitHub pull request for security issues and code quality?

To review a GitHub pull request, you can gather PR details and inspect changed files via gh or the GitHub REST API. This process evaluates branch diffs for defects, security issues, and quality gaps while generating severity-ranked inline comments.

Can I check local git diffs for code defects before pushing to a remote branch?

Yes, you can inspect staged or local branch diffs to check for code defects before pushing. The review applies a structured quality, security, and correctness checklist to your local changes.

How do I draft inline comments on specific code lines during a PR review?

Drafting inline comments during a PR review involves mapping identified defects or suggestions directly to specific code lines. This generates severity-ranked feedback to approve changes or request modifications.

Does the code review process support GitHub REST API and gh CLI workflows?

Yes, the code review process fully supports both the GitHub REST API and gh CLI workflows. It gathers PR details and inspects branch diffs through these interfaces to return a structured summary of critical issues.

What is the best way to structure pull request feedback into a summary?

The best way to structure pull request feedback is by generating a severity-ranked review summary. This categorizes findings into critical issues, warnings, suggestions, and positives alongside line-level comments.

How do I approve or request changes on a pull request after identifying a SQL injection risk?

After identifying a SQL injection risk, you can approve or request changes on a pull request by drafting severity-ranked inline comments. This workflow maps security findings directly to the exact lines for modification.
