Pr Review

PR Review Skill

Provides comprehensive code review analysis for pull requests with structured feedback format.

When to Activate

This skill activates when the user requests:

• "review this PR"
• "analyze pull request #123"
• "check the code changes"
• "provide feedback on my PR"
• "code review needed"

Required Workflow

Step 1: Gather PR Context

1. Ask for PR number (if not provided)
2. Read changed files using get_changed_files
3. Check for errors using get_errors
4. Read relevant files using read_file for context

Step 2: Load Project Configuration (Optional)

Try to read configuration in this order:

1. .github/skills/pr-review/config.md (project-specific)
2. ~/.copilot/skills/pr-review/config.md (user defaults)
3. .github/copilot-instructions.md (project context)

Config format:

- **Code Style Guide**: [path/to/style-guide.md]
- **Architecture Patterns**: [docs/Architecture/]
- **Testing Requirements**: Unit tests required for all new features
- **Review Priorities**: Security, Performance, Offline-first patterns
- **Code Quality Rules**: Logger usage, hook patterns, etc.

If config doesn't exist, proceed with general review guidelines.

Step 3: Analyze Against Standards

Use references/review-checklist.md to evaluate:

1. PR Metadata:

   • Title follows Conventional Commits format
   • Description includes Jira reference
   • Scope is clear and focused
   • Breaking changes documented

2. Code Quality:

   • TypeScript types are correct
   • React best practices followed
   • No performance anti-patterns
   • Security vulnerabilities checked

3. Architecture Alignment:

   • Offline-first patterns (if applicable)
   • API contract compliance
   • Database schema compatibility
   • Sync conflict handling

4. Project Conventions:

   • File structure follows project layout
   • Git conventions (branch naming, commit messages)
   • CI/CD checks passing

Step 4: Structured Feedback Format

Output structure:

## Detailed Feedback

### Critical Issues ❌ (Must fix before merge)
- **[File:Line]**: [Issue description]
  - **Why**: [Impact/reasoning]
  - **Fix**: [Specific action to take]

### Major Issues 🔶 (Should fix)
- **[File:Line]**: [Issue description]
  - **Suggestion**: [How to improve]

## Recommendation

[Approve ✅ | Request Changes 🔄 | Reject ❌]

**Rationale**: [1-2 sentence summary]

Step 5: Ask About Posting Review

After generating feedback:

Would you like me to post this review to GitHub PR #XXX?
(I can use GitHub API to add review comments)

Stop Rules

STOP and ask user if:

1. ❌ PR number not provided and cannot be inferred
2. ❌ No changed files found
3. ❌ Critical errors detected that make review impossible
4. ❌ User has pending uncommitted changes (might affect review)
