Do I need the GitHub CLI installed?

Yes, this skill relies on the GitHub CLI (gh) for metadata extraction, PR assignment, and diff retrieval.

Does this skill modify my code or merge branches?

No, the review-pr skill is strictly read-only. It operates in a separate worktree and never pushes, merges, or modifies code intended for the final repository.

What kind of output does the review generate?

It produces two files: a human-readable review.md containing detailed sections and a machine-readable review.json containing structured findings, test results, and recommendations.

Can I run my own tests during the review process?

Yes, the skill includes an optional local test step that allows you to execute specific test files within the PR context to verify changes.

Collaboration Tools

Automates structured, read-only GitHub pull request analysis to identify findings and generate machine-readable artifacts.

The review-pr skill streamlines the code review process by performing script-driven, deterministic analysis of GitHub pull requests. It operates in isolated worktrees to ensure safety, comparing the PR branch against the main baseline to extract accurate diffs and metadata. By generating both human-readable Markdown summaries and structured JSON findings, it enables seamless handoffs to subsequent development stages like /prepare-pr. This skill is ideal for teams seeking to standardize their review workflows and integrate AI-driven insights with existing CI/CD pipelines.
