What pr-review does

The skill handles pull request reviews in two distinct phases: automated validation followed by content evaluation. First, it runs python .claude/skills/pr-review/scripts/validate_skills.py to verify that SKILL.md exists, required YAML fields are present, and no plaintext secrets are committed.

The second phase inspects skill trigger conditions, environment variable usage for API keys, and documentation updates across README.md and README_zh.md. The workflow is tied directly to the MiniMax repository structure, so running it outside this layout will fail during the script execution stage.

What it helps with

  • validate SKILL.md structure and YAML frontmatter
  • catch hardcoded credentials and secrets before merge
  • verify environment variable handling for external APIs
  • ensure documentation parity across README and README_zh

Example prompts for the agent

  • Review this pull request against repository standards
  • Validate the new skill submission with pr-review
  • Check this skill PR for compliance

# PR Review Skill

Review pull requests against repository standards. Two-phase process: automated validation, then manual content review.

## Phase 1: Automated Validation (Hard Rules)

Run the validation script to check structural requirements:

```bash
python .claude/skills/pr-review/scripts/validate_skills.py
```

The script checks:
- `SKILL.md` exists in every skill directory
- YAML frontmatter is parseable
- Required fields present: `name`, `description`
- `name` matches directory name
- No hardcoded secrets detected

All ERROR-level checks must pass. WARNING-level items (missing `license`, `metadata`) should be flagged but are not blockers.

See [references/structure-rules.md](references/structure-rules.md) for the complete hard rules specification.

## Phase 2: Content Review (Soft Guidelines)

After automated checks pass, review the PR against quality guidelines:

1. **Skill scope** — Does it overlap with existing skills? Is the boundary clear?
2. **Description quality** — Does the `description` include clear trigger conditions?
3. **File size** — Are reference docs reasonably sized for context window consumption?
4. **API key handling** — If external APIs are used, are credentials read from environment variables?
5. **Script quality** — Do scripts have shebang, requirements.txt, and error handling?
6. **Language** — Are SKILL.md and code written in English?
7. **README sync** — Are `README.md` and `README_zh.md` updated for new skills?

See [references/quality-guidelines.md](references/quality-guidelines.md) for soft guidelines details.
