What happens if a checklist comment already exists on my PR?

The skill is designed to be idempotent; it will identify the existing checklist comment and update it rather than creating duplicate comments on the same pull request.

Can I use this without a pre-defined plan file?

Yes, if no plan is detected or provided, the skill will skip the acceptance criteria section and focus on ADR compliance and general quality checks.

How does it identify which ADRs are relevant to my PR?

The skill analyzes the specific files changed in your pull request and cross-references them with your project's Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) to ensure technical decisions are followed.

Where are the review checklists stored?

Following a dual-storage pattern (ADR-012), the checklist is both posted as a comment on the GitHub PR for the team to see and saved locally in a `.review/` directory for persistence.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, the skill utilizes the official GitHub CLI (gh) to fetch pull request metadata and post comments. You must have it installed and authenticated on your local machine.

コラボレーションツール

Generates comprehensive, specification-driven pull request review checklists by automating the extraction of acceptance criteria and ADR compliance.

This skill automates the creation of high-quality PR review checklists by synchronizing your code reviews with project specifications. It analyzes GitHub pull requests to extract acceptance criteria from DDD plans and identifies relevant Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) based on modified files, ensuring that every code change aligns with established project standards and functional requirements. It facilitates a dual-storage approach by posting checklists directly to GitHub as comments while maintaining local records, making it indispensable for teams practicing rigorous, specification-led development.
