SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Autonomous development loops need an independent merge gate: someone must judge whether a pull request actually implements its linked issue, passes required checks, and respects project policy before auto-merge lands it. This Skill performs that independent code review without holding any write or merge permissions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independent PR review: Fetches the PR diff, checks, and linked issue via the GitHub CLI, then judges correctness, security, regression, and test-coverage risk against the issue's acceptance criteria. - Policy and invariant enforcement: Verifies required-check status, roadmap scope guards, human-required paths, maintainer hold labels, and every applicable architecture invariant with per-invariant PASS/FAIL lines. - Typed verdict publishing: Emits a bound open-autonomy.review.v1 JSON result in trusted-effect mode, or posts labels, comments, and the agent-review status in local compatibility mode. - Use Case: A maintainer runs an autonomous agent loop where a developer agent opens PRs; this reviewer skill approves sound changes, requests changes on defects, and routes sensitive changes to a human-approval gate. ## Quick Start Review the open pull request for the linked issue and publish the agent-review verdict.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically review GitHub pull requests with an AI agent?▼

Fetch the PR with gh pr view and gh pr diff, resolve the linked issue for its acceptance criteria, then judge the diff against those criteria and project policy. This Skill publishes the verdict as an agent-review status or a typed JSON result.

How to gate auto-merge on an independent code review?▼

Use a reviewer that holds code:review but no contents:write permission, so it can approve or block but never merge. GitHub native auto-merge lands the PR only after ci and agent-review checks are both green.

Can the reviewer agent merge or push code itself?▼

No. The reviewer holds only code:review capability and never pushes, merges, or edits repository files. This permission split ensures no single agent can both write code and bless it.

What happens when a PR touches sensitive or human-required paths?▼

Sound changes touching declared human-required paths pass on merit with humanApprovalRequired set to true, routing them through a separate human-approval check. Changes carrying maintainer hold labels fail outright until a maintainer clears the hold.

Why does the reviewer skip roadmap-only pull requests?▼

PRs whose changed files are entirely roadmap files belong to the strategy_reviewer lane, not code review. The reviewer returns skip or not-applicable so each proposal type is judged by the correct specialized reviewer.
