SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Classify draft PR-review comments into tiers — nit / suggestion / question / issue / blocker — with category + actionability. Prefix each with the team's convention (Conventional Comments / Google nit: / Microsoft / custom). Remove comments that should self-fix before ship. Flag harsh tone. Power-dynamics aware (senior→junior softens; junior→senior concretizes evidence). Read-only — never posts; produces classified list for user to copy-paste or file-level review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Classification with tiering and prefixing per Conventional Comments, Google nit, Microsoft styles, or custom conventions.
  • Tone analysis and power-dynamics-aware labeling to guide reviewer communication.
  • Read-only processing that outputs a structured list for user review or export.

Quick Start

Submit a draft list of comments and run the skill to generate a labeled, prefixed review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I classify PR review comments into nits, suggestions, and blockers?▼

Classify draft PR-review comments into nit, suggestion, question, issue, or blocker tiers by applying prefix conventions like Conventional Comments or Google nit styles. The tool outputs a structured, prefixed list without posting changes.

What is power-dynamics-aware labeling in code review?▼

Power-dynamics-aware labeling adjusts review tone based on hierarchy: senior-to-junior comments are softened, while junior-to-senior comments require concretized evidence. This ensures constructive communication during tier classification.

How do I add conventional comment prefixes to draft code review feedback?▼

Add conventional comment prefixes by processing draft feedback through the classifier. It supports Conventional Comments, Google nit, Microsoft, or custom conventions, generating a prefixed, structured list for manual copy-pasting.

Does the nit vs blocker classifier post comments directly to the pull request?▼

No, the nit vs blocker classifier operates in a strictly read-only mode. It analyzes draft comments and produces a classified list for the user to review and manually post, ensuring it never posts changes directly.

Why should I flag harsh tone in draft PR review comments?▼

Flagging harsh tone prevents negative interactions during code reviews. The classifier detects aggressive language and applies power-dynamics-aware adjustments to soften senior feedback and guide junior communication effectively.

Can I use custom prefix conventions for tiering code review comments?▼

Yes, you can use custom prefix conventions for tiering. The classifier supports Conventional Comments, Google nit, Microsoft styles, or custom team conventions to structure draft PR-review feedback accurately.
