# pr-review

Review open pull requests with line-specific findings, or use a risk-ranked digest to sort them. The skill helps inspect proposed changes and decide what needs attention first.

## What it does

In its default mode, the skill reviews pull requests one at a time, labels findings by severity, adds comments to relevant lines, and gives a verdict. You can target a repository or a single PR; with no target, it uses the repositories in `memory/watched-repos.md`. Each review is capped at five findings, and minor style notes are usually left out.

Run `--survey` for a separate branch that writes a risk-ranked digest and state file; notification depends on the options passed. The regular review branch posts comments through `gh`. The skill reads project context from `memory/MEMORY.md` and recent logs, then uses GitHub CLI to inspect PRs. You need repository access and a working `gh` setup, since those are required to fetch changes and post reviews.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill pr-review -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/pr-review/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill pr-review -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill pr-review -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aeonfun/aeon pr-review
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill pr-review -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon --path skills/pr-review
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill pr-review -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon/tree/HEAD/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- spot bugs and risks in open pull requests
- attach review findings to specific code lines
- avoid reviewing the same commit twice
- sort open PRs by risk for triage
- skip drafts and pull requests marked as blocked

## Example prompts
- Review open pull requests in `owner/repo` and comment on relevant lines.
- Review only `owner/repo#42` and give it a verdict.
- Create a risk-ranked digest for `owner/repo` with `--survey`.

<!-- autoresearch: variation B — sharper output: severity-tagged & capped findings, inline comments on exact lines, one-line verdict; folds in skip rules (A) and SHA dedup + large-diff fallback (C). Absorbs pr-merge as the `--survey` risk-tiered triage-digest branch (no capability lost). -->

> **${var}** — Selects the branch and scopes it.
> - **Default (no `--survey`)** → per-PR deep review. `${var}` empty reviews every repo in `memory/watched-repos.md`; `${var}=owner/repo` scopes to one repo; `${var}=owner/repo#N` scopes to that exact PR.
> - **`--survey`** (alias `survey`) → risk-tiered triage digest (the former `pr-merge`). In this branch the remaining tokens follow pr-merge's grammar: pass `dry-run` to skip notify (article + state still write), pass `owner/repo` to override the target repo, combine with a space (`--survey dry-run owner/repo`). Empty target = `aeonfun/aeon`.
>
> Examples: `` (review every watched repo) · `owner/repo` (review one repo) · `owner/repo#42` (review exactly PR 42) · `--survey` (triage digest of aeonfun/aeon) · `--survey dry-run` (refresh digest, no notify) · `--survey owner/repo` (triage a specific repo).

## Shared preamble (every run)

Read `memory/MEMORY.md` for high-level context. Scan the last ~3 days of `memory/logs/` for recent activity and to avoid re-reporting the same signal.

**Parse `${var}` → branch:** split `${var}` on whitespace.
- If a `--survey` or `survey` token is present → **SURVEY branch** (jump to "Survey branch"). Remove that token; the remaining tokens are parsed by the survey branch (`dry-run`, `owner/repo` override, unknown → BAD_VAR).
- Otherwise → **REVIEW branch** (default; continue below). The remaining `${var}` is an optional `owner/repo` or `owner/repo#N` scope (empty = every watched repo).

The two branches never share mutation logic: the REVIEW branch posts PR comments/reviews via `gh`; the SURVEY branch writes the digest article + state file and (gated) notifies — neither performs an actual `gh pr merge`. Dispatch to exactly one branch per run.

---

# REVIEW branch (default) — per-PR deep review

Read `memory/MEMORY.md` and `memory/watched-repos.md`.
Read the last 2 days of `memory/logs/` for context on recent reviews. Whether a commit was already reviewed is decided by GitHub, not the logs (see the skip rules): a run can post its review and then lose its log entry.

If `${var}` names `owner/repo#N`, fetch and review only that exact open PR; do not list or comment on any other PR. If `${var}` names `owner/repo`, review that repo's open PRs. Otherwise review every repo listed in `memory/watched-repos.md`.

If `memory/watched-repos.md` is empty or missing (and no `owner/repo` was passed), log `PR_REVIEW_NO_REPOS` and end.
