SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Code changes often ship with hidden defects, security holes, or contract-breaking changes that a quick glance misses. This Skill performs an evidence-based pre-merge review of pending changes, PRs, commits, or an entire codebase, and records a machine-readable verdict that can block shipping when the review fails. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multiple input modes: Review pending git changes, a GitHub PR by number or URL, a specific commit hash, or run a full codebase scan. - Effort-scaled recall: Choose low through max effort levels that fan out independent review lenses, adversarially verify findings, and run a recall sweep for deeper coverage. - Gated verdict artifact: Every review writes a review-decision artifact (PASS, PASS_WITH_RISK, or BLOCKED) that a stage gate reads to allow or block pr/ship/deploy stages. - Fix and reply loops: Optionally auto-apply safe fixes, drive a full fix-and-re-review cycle, and post the final review back to the GitHub PR. - Use Case: Before merging a pull request that touches authentication code, run a high-effort review that checks correctness, security, and contract deltas, then posts a request-changes review on the PR with file-and-line evidence for each confirmed finding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review the pending changes in the current repository at medium effort and report the verdict with the artifact path.

Frequently Asked Questions about hs:code-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a GitHub pull request before merging?▼

Pass the PR number or URL as the argument, and the skill fetches the diff with the gh CLI, runs the quality review, and writes a verdict artifact. Add the reply flag to post the review back to the PR via gh pr review.

How do I review uncommitted changes in git?▼

Use the pending mode flag to review staged and unstaged changes from git diff HEAD. With no argument at all, the skill asks which target to review, including pending changes, a PR, a commit, or a full codebase scan.

What do the effort levels low through max change in a code review?▼

Effort scales how many findings the review produces: low is a single-pass review, medium fans out three independent lenses, and high through max add adversarial verification and a recall sweep via workflow orchestration. The verdict and gate behavior stay identical at every level.

Can a failing code review block a deployment or merge?▼

Yes. The review writes a review-decision artifact with verdict PASS, PASS_WITH_RISK, or BLOCKED, and the stage gate blocks pr, ship, and deploy stages unless the verdict is exactly PASS. A BLOCKED verdict records the unresolved findings for audit.

Can the review automatically fix the issues it finds?▼

The fix flag applies only fixes needing no user confirmation, such as clear correctness bugs and safe cleanups. The fix-auto flag self-decides all confirmed findings through a TDD fix loop, while findings touching user decisions like contracts or thresholds are escalated instead.

When should I not rely on the automated review verdict alone?▼

High-risk diffs touching auth, migrations, secrets, or API contracts require a security scan and a reviewer who is not the author before a passing verdict. The skill also never self-merges or self-deploys; the merge decision always belongs to a human.
