## What it does

The command checks changed files with Git and looks for an existing PR. It then selects relevant reviews: the test analyzer is used when test files change, while the type analyzer applies when types are added or modified. Pass aspects such as `tests errors` to target the review, or run all applicable checks.

Agents run one at a time by default; you can request parallel runs. The command gathers findings by priority, notes strengths, and gives an action plan with file and line references. Reviews rely on `git diff`, so make sure the changes you want checked appear in the diff. It also checks for a PR with `gh pr view`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/review-pr.md` — Call it with /review-pr. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/review-pr.md` — Call it with /prompts:review-pr. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/review-pr.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/review-pr.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/tree/HEAD/plugins/pr-review-toolkit/commands/review-pr.md

## When to use it
- check test coverage for missing cases
- find silent failures in error handling
- compare comments with code behavior
- review type design and invariants
- simplify code after the review

## Example prompts
- Review this PR across all applicable aspects.
- Check test coverage and error handling: `tests errors`.
- After the review passes, simplify the changed code: `simplify`.

# Comprehensive PR Review

Run a comprehensive pull request review using multiple specialized agents, each focusing on a different aspect of code quality.

**Review Aspects (optional):** "$ARGUMENTS"

## Review Workflow:

1. **Determine Review Scope**
   - Check git status to identify changed files
   - Parse arguments to see if user requested specific review aspects
   - Default: Run all applicable reviews

2. **Available Review Aspects:**

   - **comments** - Analyze code comment accuracy and maintainability
   - **tests** - Review test coverage quality and completeness
   - **errors** - Check error handling for silent failures
   - **types** - Analyze type design and invariants (if new types added)
   - **code** - General code review for project guidelines
   - **simplify** - Simplify code for clarity and maintainability
   - **all** - Run all applicable reviews (default)

3. **Identify Changed Files**
   - Run `git diff --name-only` to see modified files
   - Check if PR already exists: `gh pr view`
   - Identify file types and what reviews apply

4. **Determine Applicable Reviews**

   Based on changes:
   - **Always applicable**: code-reviewer (general quality)
   - **If test files changed**: pr-test-analyzer
   - **If comments/docs added**: comment-analyzer
   - **If error handling changed**: silent-failure-hunter
   - **If types added/modified**: type-design-analyzer
   - **After passing review**: code-simplifier (polish and refine)

5. **Launch Review Agents**

   **Sequential approach** (one at a time):
   - Easier to understand and act on
   - Each report is complete before next
   - Good for interactive review

   **Parallel approach** (user can request):
   - Launch all agents simultaneously
   - Faster for comprehensive review
   - Results come back together

6. **Aggregate Results**

   After agents complete, summarize:
   - **Critical Issues** (must fix before merge)
   - **Important Issues** (should fix)
   - **Suggestions** (nice to have)
   - **Positive Observations** (what's good)

7. **Provide Action Plan**

   Organize findings:
   ```markdown
   # PR Review Summary

   ## Critical Issues (X found)
   - [agent-name]: Issue description [file:line]

   ## Important Issues (X found)
   - [agent-name]: Issue description [file:line]

   ## Suggestions (X found)
   - [agent-name]: Suggestion [file:line]

   ## Strengths
   - What's well-done in this PR

   ## Recommended Action
   1. Fix critical issues first
   2. Address important issues
   3. Consider suggestions
   4. Re-run review after fixes
   ```

## Usage Examples:

**Full review (default):**
```
/pr-review-toolkit:review-pr
```

**Specific aspects:**
```
/pr-review-toolkit:review-pr tests errors
# Reviews only test coverage and error handling

/pr-review-toolkit:review-pr comments
# Reviews only code comments

/pr-review-toolkit:review-pr simplify
# Simplifies code after passing review
```

**Parallel review:**
```
/pr-review-toolkit:review-pr all parallel
# Launches all agents in parallel
```

## Agent Descriptions:

**comment-analyzer**:
- Verifies comment accuracy vs code
- Identifies comment rot
- Checks documentation completeness

**pr-test-analyzer**:
- Reviews behavioral test coverage
- Identifies critical gaps
- Evaluates test quality

**silent-failure-hunter**:
- Finds silent failures
- Reviews catch blocks
- Checks error logging

**type-design-analyzer**:
- Analyzes type encapsulation
- Reviews invariant expression
- Rates type design quality

**code-reviewer**:
- Checks CLAUDE.md compliance
- Detects bugs and issues
- Reviews general code quality

**code-simplifier**:
- Simplifies complex code
- Improves clarity and readability
- Applies project standards
- Preserves functionality

## Tips:

- **Run early**: Before creating PR, not after
- **Focus on changes**: Agents analyze git diff by default
- **Address critical first**: Fix high-priority issues before lower priority
