PR review workflows often grapple with misalignments between the stated goals in a PR and the actual changes introduced. This Skill analyzes the correct merge-base diff (base to HEAD) to reconcile the PR body's intended goals with what the changes actually implement, surfacing gaps, contradictions, and risks early in the review process.
Ask me to review a PR by its number or branch and I will compare the merge-base diff to HEAD and summarize goals, gaps, and risk.

To verify pull request changes align with stated goals, analyze the merge-base diff to HEAD. This process extracts user-stated objectives and cross-checks them against actual commits, surfacing gaps, contradictions, and risk signals early.
A merge-base diff compares the base branch to HEAD, isolating only the changes introduced by a pull request. It is needed for accurate code review to ensure the analysis reflects actual modifications rather than unrelated upstream commits.
Yes, you can integrate external reviewers like codex or gemini into your PR review. When explicitly requested, the review process can optionally run independent analyses using these local CLIs alongside the standard goal verification.
To review a branch by its number or name, provide the identifier and the tool will compare the merge-base diff to HEAD. It then summarizes the stated goals, identifies implementation gaps, and signals potential risks.
Yes, PR review automation works without external dependencies or components. It natively analyzes git diffs and commit messages to provide structured outputs including goal alignment and next steps directly.
Automated goal extraction relies on the clarity of input from the PR body, commit messages, and linked issues. Limitations arise when these sources are vague, contradictory, or missing, which may hinder accurate alignment verification.
