Resolution Review Skill
Use this skill to review resolved ADO work items that have been assigned to you for verification.
Process
1. Understand the Original Issue
- Read the work item title and description
- Understand what problem was being solved
- Note any acceptance criteria or requirements
2. Review the PR Changes
If a GitHub PR URL is provided:
- Fetch the PR diff using
gh pr diff <number>or review the files changed - Understand what code changes were made
- Check if the changes align with the issue requirements
3. Compare Against Test Notes
The test notes field contains acceptance criteria or testing instructions:
- Verify each criterion is addressed by the changes
- Check for edge cases that might not be covered
- Look for potential regressions
4. Code Quality Check
- Review the code for quality issues
- Check for proper error handling
- Verify no security vulnerabilities introduced
- Ensure code follows project conventions
5. Provide Verdict
Format your response as:
