When to use me

Use this skill when the user wants to request a GitHub Copilot review on a pull request.

Prerequisites

GitHub CLI (gh) v2.88.0 or later must be installed and authenticated
If given only a PR number, the current repository must have a GitHub origin remote
The target PR must be accessible with the current GitHub credentials
If gh not installed -> error: Error: GitHub CLI not found. Install: https://cli.github.com/
If not authenticated -> error: Error: Not authenticated with GitHub. Run: gh auth login

Input Handling

Accept either of these forms:

Full GitHub PR URL
- Example: https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
PR number
- Example: 123

Resolution rules:

If input is a full PR URL, use it directly with gh pr view <pr>.
If input is a PR number, resolve the repository from git remote get-url origin.
If the input is neither a valid URL nor a PR number, error with Error: Provide a GitHub PR URL or PR number.

Workflow

Validate GitHub access
```
gh auth status
```

Resolve PR metadata

For PR URL:

gh pr view <pr> --json number,title,url,author,baseRefName,headRefName

For PR number in current repo:

git remote get-url origin
gh pr view <number> --json number,title,url,author,baseRefName,headRefName

Request Copilot review for the full PR

gh pr edit <pr> --add-reviewer @copilot

# or, for PR number in the current repository
gh pr edit <number> --add-reviewer @copilot

Report results

Error Handling

Invalid input -> Error: Provide a GitHub PR URL or PR number

Notes

This skill requests a PR-wide Copilot review only
