How does the skill handle security reviews?

It analyzes diffs for common security anti-patterns, such as hardcoded secrets, lack of input validation, or insecure authentication flows, and highlights them in the report.

Does it check if the build is passing?

Yes, the skill fetches the latest GitLab CI/CD pipeline status and includes a summary of build, test, and linting stages in its final review.

What information do I need to provide to start a review?

You simply need to provide the numeric Project ID (or URL-encoded path) and the Merge Request number using the /review-mr command.

What is required to use the GitLab MR Review skill?

You must have the GitLab MCP server installed and configured with a valid access token, and you must have permission to access the specific project and merge request.

Can this skill automatically approve or merge my code?

No, this skill provides a detailed analysis and recommendations. Final approval and merging remain human-driven actions to ensure safety and accountability.
