Does it support GitLab threads and discussions?

Yes, you can read existing discussion threads, respond to them, resolve them, or start new discussions on specific lines of code directly through Claude.

How does the skill know which GitLab project I'm working on?

It identifies the project by checking for a .teamcraft/project.md file or analyzing your git remote URLs. If those fail, it provides a searchable list of your GitLab projects for you to choose from.

Do I need to have the code checked out locally to use this?

While not strictly required for the GitLab interaction, the skill will offer to check out the MR's source branch for you. This allows it to analyze the changes in the context of the full codebase for a more thorough review.

Can this skill auto-approve or auto-merge requests?

No. To ensure safety and human oversight, the skill is hard-coded to require explicit instructions and confirmation from the user for every approval, merge, or change request.

Can it see the original issue description?

Yes, if the MR description references a GitLab issue, the skill can fetch that issue's details to provide the reviewer with the original requirements and acceptance criteria.

Collaboration Tools

Conducts comprehensive GitLab merge request reviews, including diff analysis and thread management, directly from the terminal.

The GitLab MR Reviewer skill transforms Claude Code into a powerful code review interface, allowing developers to manage the entire Merge Request lifecycle without opening a browser. It intelligently synthesizes MR changes by combining GitLab diffs with local codebase context, ensuring reviewers understand the 'why' behind the 'what.' With the ability to respond to threads, leave line-specific comments, and handle approvals or merges through a guided workflow, this skill significantly reduces context-switching while maintaining high review standards through local checkout support and project-specific rule checks.
