SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It reduces the time and inconsistency of reviewing pull requests by guiding an interactive review workflow that checks changed code against project guidelines and validates high-confidence findings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive PR/local review: Reviews a specified GitHub PR or reviews the current branch against main.
  • Context gathering from GitHub or git: Pulls PR metadata, diffs, changed files, and existing review threads (PR mode) or computes diffs locally (LOCAL mode).
  • Guideline-aware, validated findings: Detects candidate issues, then independently validates and scores findings, filtering to high-confidence items for posting or local output.
  • Thread update support: In UPDATE mode, drafts replies or resolutions for existing unresolved review threads.

Quick Start

Run /review-pr 123 to review PR #123 and generate high-confidence code review comments.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review for GitHub pull requests?▼

Automated code review for GitHub pull requests is performed by analyzing diffs against existing project guidelines and posting validated, high-confidence line comments via GitHub review operations. It interactively checks changed code and filters findings to reduce manual review time.

Can I review local git branches against main without a GitHub PR?▼

Yes, you can review local git branches by computing merge-base diffs against main. This local mode analyzes branch changes locally without requiring a GitHub PR, applying the same guideline compliance checks and candidate issue validation as PR mode.

How does diff validation handle guideline compliance during a pull request review?▼

Diff validation during a pull request review detects candidate issues, then independently validates and scores them against project guidelines. It filters to high-confidence findings, ensuring only actionable, guideline-compliant feedback is posted as line or file-level comments.

What is the best way to draft replies for unresolved GitHub review threads?▼

Drafting replies for unresolved GitHub review threads is handled in UPDATE mode, which reads existing review context to generate replies or resolutions. This supports interactive thread updates directly through GitHub MCP operations.

Does static analysis for pull requests support deep parallel subagent review?▼

Yes, static analysis for pull requests supports optional deep parallel subagent analysis. This mode runs parallel subagents to perform deeper validation of candidate issues, scoring confidence levels before posting comments via GitHub review MCP tools.
