## What it does

The plugin adds six review subagents to Claude, each watching a different layer of the code. `comment-analyzer` checks whether comments still match what the code does and flags stale ones. `pr-test-analyzer` looks at coverage quality: behavioral versus line coverage, critical gaps, edge cases. `silent-failure-hunter` digs through `catch` blocks where errors get swallowed and checks whether anything is logged at all.

The other three deal with structure. `type-design-analyzer` rates types on four dimensions from 1 to 10: encapsulation, invariant expression, usefulness and enforcement. `code-reviewer` checks `CLAUDE.md` compliance, style violations and bugs. `code-simplifier` strips unnecessary nesting and redundant abstractions while keeping behavior intact.

Run them one at a time or all together on a full PR. Findings come back with file and line references, confidence scores and severity ordering. `code-reviewer` scores issues 0–100, where 91–100 means critical, and `pr-test-analyzer` rates test gaps 1–10. Best used before you open the PR, not after. A vague request may not trigger the right agent, so name the area: test coverage, error handling, type design.

One practical limit: the authors suggest pointing these agents at changed code rather than the whole codebase, or the review sprawls.

## Install

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
```

## When to use it
- check whether comments drifted away from the code
- find test coverage gaps before opening a PR
- catch `catch` blocks that swallow errors silently
- rate how strongly a type expresses its invariants
- simplify tangled code without changing behavior

## Example prompts
- Check if the tests cover all edge cases
- Review the error handling in the API client
- Simplify this code, it feels too complex

# PR Review Toolkit

A comprehensive collection of specialized agents for thorough pull request review, covering code comments, test coverage, error handling, type design, code quality, and code simplification.

## Overview

This plugin bundles 6 expert review agents that each focus on a specific aspect of code quality. Use them individually for targeted reviews or together for comprehensive PR analysis.

## Agents

### 1. comment-analyzer
**Focus**: Code comment accuracy and maintainability

**Analyzes:**
- Comment accuracy vs actual code
- Documentation completeness
- Comment rot and technical debt
- Misleading or outdated comments

**When to use:**
- After adding documentation
- Before finalizing PRs with comment changes
- When reviewing existing comments

**Triggers:**
```
"Check if the comments are accurate"
"Review the documentation I added"
"Analyze comments for technical debt"
```

### 2. pr-test-analyzer
**Focus**: Test coverage quality and completeness

**Analyzes:**
- Behavioral vs line coverage
- Critical gaps in test coverage
- Test quality and resilience
- Edge cases and error conditions

**When to use:**
- After creating a PR
- When adding new functionality
- To verify test thoroughness

**Triggers:**
```
"Check if the tests are thorough"
"Review test coverage for this PR"
"Are there any critical test gaps?"
```

### 3. silent-failure-hunter
**Focus**: Error handling and silent failures

**Analyzes:**
- Silent failures in catch blocks
- Inadequate error handling
- Inappropriate fallback behavior
- Missing error logging

**When to use:**
- After implementing error handling
- When reviewing try/catch blocks
- Before finalizing PRs with error handling

**Triggers:**
```
"Review the error handling"
"Check for silent failures"
"Analyze catch blocks in this PR"
```

### 4. type-design-analyzer
**Focus**: Type design quality and invariants

**Analyzes:**
- Type encapsulation (rated 1-10)
- Invariant expression (rated 1-10)
- Type usefulness (rated 1-10)
- Invariant enforcement (rated 1-10)

**When to use:**
- When introducing new types
- During PR creation with data models
- When refactoring type designs

**Triggers:**
```
"Review the UserAccount type design"
"Analyze type design in this PR"
"Check if this type has strong invariants"
```

### 5. code-reviewer
**Focus**: General code review for project guidelines

**Analyzes:**
- CLAUDE.md compliance
- Style violations
- Bug detection
- Code quality issues

**When to use:**
- After writing or modifying code
- Before committing changes
- Before creating pull requests

**Triggers:**
```
"Review my recent changes"
"Check if everything looks good"
"Review this code before I commit"
```

### 6. code-simplifier
**Focus**: Code simplification and refactoring

**Analyzes:**
- Code clarity and readability
- Unnecessary complexity and nesting
- Redundant code and abstractions
- Consistency with project standards
- Overly compact or clever code

**When to use:**
- After writing or modifying code
- After passing code review
- When code works but feels complex

**Triggers:**
```
"Simplify this code"
"Make this clearer"
"Refine this implementation"
```

**Note**: This agent preserves functionality while improving code structure and maintainability.

## Usage Patterns

### Individual Agent Usage

Simply ask questions that match an agent's focus area, and Claude will automatically trigger the appropriate agent:

```
"Can you check if the tests cover all edge cases?"
→ Triggers pr-test-analyzer

"Review the error handling in the API client"
→ Triggers silent-failure-hunter

"I've added documentation - is it accurate?"
→ Triggers comment-analyzer
```

### Comprehensive PR Review

For thorough PR review, ask for multiple aspects:

```
"I'm ready to create this PR. Please:
1. Review test coverage
2. Check for silent failures
3. Verify code comments are accurate
4. Review any new types
5. General code review"
```

This will trigger all relevant agents to analyze different aspects of your PR.

### Proactive Review

Claude may proactively use these agents based on context:
