FAQPage Schema
How do I review and approve implementation plans for GitHub issues?

Reviewing implementation plans for GitHub issues involves critiquing them for completeness, feasibility, and clarity before coding starts. This Skill automates that plan review process, transitioning issues to 'In Progress' upon approval or back for iteration.

Can I automate code review for implementation plans using an AI agent?

Yes, automated critique by an AI agent is supported for implementation plan review. This mode flexibility allows you to automatically validate proposed software development plans without requiring interactive human review.

What is an implementation plan quality gate and when do I need it?

An implementation plan quality gate is a validation step ensuring software development plans are complete, feasible, and clear before coding commences. You need it to prevent costly mistakes and save development time.

How do I transition GitHub issues based on plan review outcomes?

Transitioning GitHub issues based on plan review outcomes involves routing them to 'In Progress' upon approval or back to 'Ready for Plan' if iteration is needed. This workflow integration automates issue status updates.

Does ralph-review work with GitHub issues for software development?

Yes, ralph-review integrates directly with GitHub issues for software development. It uses an artifact comment protocol for plan discovery and manages issue state transitions based on the review outcome.

What are the limitations of automated implementation plan review?

Automated implementation plan review supports plan validation but may require iteration if the plan lacks clarity, completeness, or feasibility. Issues failing the quality gate are routed back to 'Ready for Plan' for human revision.
