GitHub PR Governance Review

Overview

Pull requests are the constitutional boundary of a federation repo. A PR is the unit at which code, governance, and human judgment meet. This skill defines the per-PR checklist an agent must run before recommending merge or approval.

Scope: structural review of the diff itself, not the high-level risk-tier and reviewer-routing rules (those live in pr-review-governance). This skill is the checklist, that skill is the policy layer.

Companion skills:

• github-runbook — local git/gh inspection (read-only first)
• github-ci-diagnose — if CI is red on the PR branch
• github-issue-triage — if the PR resolves an open issue
• pr-review-governance — risk tier + reviewer routing (delegate first if risk ≥ high)

When to Use

• Any PR touching >1 file
• Any PR modifying contracts, schemas, or registries
• Any PR from an external contributor
• Any PR marked as "high risk" by the author

When NOT to Use

• Do NOT use on cross-repo PRs without first invoking pr-review-governance to determine risk tier.
• Do NOT use as a substitute for CI — CI runs first, this skill reads CI artifacts second.
• Do NOT use to approve your own PR — F1 AMANAH + F13 SOVEREIGN prohibit self-seal.
• Do NOT use to dismiss a security finding — escalate to secret-safety-scan + 888_JUDGE.
• Do NOT use to merge to main directly — merge is F13 SOVEREIGN unless branch protection already enforces the policy.

arifOS-ACT Embedding

Before using this skill on any mutating, irreversible, or high-blast-radius task:

1. ART — Attune (what is the real task?), Recognize (what class of power?), Test (fit · authority · evidence · blast · reversible).
2. Kernel — Route to arifOS for F1–F13 judgment if action class is Maker/Messenger/Mutator/Destroyer/Sovereign.
3. ACT — Apply narrow, Constrain scope, Trace witness, STOP before corruption.
4. Receipt — Leave evidence of what changed, why, and under whose authority.
