How does it identify which GitLab project to use?

It looks for a .teamcraft/project.md file, checks git remote URLs, or uses the GitLab API to search for visible projects based on your current environment.

Can this skill automatically merge code?

No, it follows a strict 'Human-in-the-loop' constraint, requiring explicit instructions and confirmation before any merge, approval, or state change.

Does it support local code exploration?

Yes, it can offer to check out the MR's source branch locally so you can view the implementation in your preferred editor alongside the AI-assisted review.

Does it see existing comments and threads?

Yes, it fetches all existing discussion threads, notes, and the MR description to give you a complete history of the conversation before you start your review.

Can it check linked issues for context?

If an MR description references a GitLab issue, the skill can fetch that issue to provide context on the original requirements and acceptance criteria.

Collaboration Tools

Conducts comprehensive GitLab merge request reviews directly within Claude Code, providing context-aware diff analysis and thread interaction.

This skill transforms Claude into a high-fidelity GitLab code review assistant, allowing developers to manage the entire MR lifecycle without switching to a browser. It intelligently pulls MR descriptions, linked issues, and discussion threads, while using local git context to explain the logic behind changes. By automatically checking out source branches and analyzing project-specific rules, it helps reviewers identify edge cases and style violations before prompting for manual approval or merge actions.
