review-pr

Use the GitHub CLI with gh pr view and gh pr diff to inspect metadata and changed files, then gh pr checkout to test the branch locally. This Skill automates that flow, checking CI status, review decisions, and conflicts before reporting merge readiness.

When the branch is writable, check it out with gh pr checkout, apply the fix, run focused validation like ruff or shellcheck, and push back to the head branch. The Skill only does this when branch ownership and permissions are clear, otherwise it reports suggested fixes.

Only when GitHub shows the branch is editable by maintainers and the user approves the update. The Skill prefers non-destructive paths like gh pr update-branch or merging the base branch, and never rewrites externally owned history without explicit approval.

Yes, fork PRs are supported through gh pr checkout when maintainer modification is allowed. If the fork branch is not writable, the Skill performs a local review and reports findings and suggested changes without claiming upstream resolution.

The Skill switches to findings-and-readiness-only mode: it verifies the local HEAD, recorded promoted_head, and PR head SHA match, then reports readiness without editing, committing, or pushing. Any required change is routed back through the SDLC coordinator gates.

Rebasing rewrites history, which is unsafe for shared or externally owned branches. The Skill only rebases when the branch is clearly user-owned, the rebase applies cleanly, and it uses --force-with-lease instead of a blind force push.
