SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you verify that a shipped or in-progress changeset matches the intended design while also catching issues that degrade code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design compliance review (minerva context): Compares the diff against proposal.md, the chronological replan.md history, and durable invariants in .minerva/knowledge/ to detect scope drift, missing promised success criteria, and knowledge violations.
  • Code quality review (always): Reviews the same resolved diff for bugs and obvious quality problems, using PR-driven review when an open GitHub PR exists or a structured inline check when it does not.
  • Triage with persistence: Presents findings in numbered sections, lets the user choose FIX/SUGGEST/IGNORE, and persists triage state to scratchpad.md under ## Review triage YYYY-MM-DD so reruns resume with pre-filled dispositions.

Quick Start

Run minerva:review to audit the active changeset for both spec fidelity and code quality and triage the results.

Frequently Asked Questions about review

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a code diff for spec compliance and code quality?▼

To review a diff for spec compliance and quality, resolve the target work unit, run a spec and knowledge audit, execute a code-quality check, and number findings for unified triage.

Can I use GitHub PR review to check code quality on an open pull request?▼

Yes, you can use GitHub PR review to check code quality. When an open PR exists, the review process optionally delegates the code-quality pass directly to the GitHub PR workflow.

How does spec compliance review work with minerva context?▼

Spec compliance review works by comparing the diff against proposal.md, replan.md history, and durable invariants in .minerva/knowledge/ to detect scope drift and knowledge violations.

What is the best way to triage code review findings and persist dispositions?▼

The best way to triage findings is to present them in numbered sections, choose FIX/SUGGEST/IGNORE, and persist dispositions in scratchpad.md to enable resumability across reruns.

Do I need minerva work context to audit changes for design fit?▼

No, you do not need minerva work context to audit changes. The review applies to local diffs with or without existing minerva context, always running the code-quality pass.
