Roborev Fix

roborev-fix

Fix all open review findings in one pass.

Usage

$roborev-fix [job_id...]

When NOT to invoke this skill

Do NOT invoke this skill just because the user pasted existing review findings or review text into the conversation.

If the prompt already contains the findings to fix, treat that as direct fix input and work on the code normally. The presence of verdicts, severities, file paths, suggested fixes, or copied review summaries is not by itself a request to run $roborev-fix.

Use this skill when the user explicitly invokes $roborev-fix, asks to fix open/unaddressed reviews (in any phrasing), provides job IDs that need fetching, or gives a mix of job IDs and pasted findings.

IMPORTANT

You must execute bash commands to complete this task. Skip steps already satisfied by conversation context. Defer to CLAUDE.md when it conflicts.

Instructions

When the user invokes $roborev-fix [job_id...]:

1. Gather findings

Check the conversation first. If the user has already pasted review findings (verdicts, severities, file paths, suggested fixes), use those directly. Do not re-fetch reviews that are already present in the conversation. When reusing pasted findings, collect any job IDs mentioned alongside them — step 5 needs these to comment on and close the reviews. If job IDs are missing from the pasted output, discover them via roborev fix --open --list and match each pasted finding to the correct job by commit SHA or reviewed file paths. If a finding cannot be confidently matched to a specific job, ask the user for the job ID rather than closing the wrong review.

If job IDs are provided and findings are NOT already in the conversation, fetch them:

roborev show --job <job_id> --json

If no job IDs are provided and no findings are in the conversation, discover open reviews:

roborev fix --open --list

This prints one line per open job with its ID, commit SHA, agent, and summary. Collect the job IDs from the output.

If the command fails, report the error to the user. Common causes: the daemon is not running, or the repo is not initialized (suggest roborev init).

If no open reviews are found, inform the user there is nothing to fix.

2. Fetch reviews (if needed)

Skip this step if findings are already available from step 1.

For each job ID, fetch the full review as JSON:

roborev show --job <job_id> --json

If the command fails for a job ID, report the error and continue with the remaining jobs.

The JSON output has this structure:

• job_id: the job ID
• output: the review text containing findings
• job.verdict: "P" for pass, "F" for fail (may be empty if the review errored)
• job.git_ref: the reviewed git ref (SHA, range, or synthetic ref)
• closed: whether this review has already been closed
• comments: array of comments left on this review (may be empty or absent)
  • Each comment has responder (who left it) and response (the text)
  • Comments from roborev-fix or roborev-refine are automated tool records
  • All other comments are from the developer (user feedback)

Skip any reviews where job.verdict is "P" (passing reviews have no findings to fix). Skip any reviews where job.verdict is empty or missing (the review may have errored and is not actionable). Skip any reviews where closed is true, unless the user explicitly provided that job ID (in which case, warn them and ask to confirm).

If all reviews are skipped, inform the user there is nothing to fix.

If the review has comments, respect any developer feedback (false positives, preferred approaches).

3. Fix all findings

If a finding's context is unclear from the review output alone and job.git_ref is not "dirty", run git show <git_ref> to see the original diff. Only do this when needed — the review output usually contains enough detail (file paths, line numbers, descriptions) to fix findings directly.

Parse findings from the output field of all failing reviews. Collect every finding with its severity, file path, and line number. Then:

1. Sort by severity: fix HIGH findings first, then MEDIUM, then LOW
2. Group by file: within each severity level, batch edits to the same file to minimize context switches
3. If the same file has findings from multiple reviews, fix them all together in one edit
4. If some findings cannot be fixed (false positives, intentional design), note them for the comment rather than silently skipping them

4. Run tests

Run the project's test suite to verify all fixes work:

go test ./...

Or whatever test command the project uses. If tests fail, fix the regressions before proceeding.

5. Record comments and close reviews

For each job that was fixed, record a summary comment and then close it. Run these as separate commands, but only run roborev close after confirming the comment succeeded:

roborev comment --commenter roborev-fix --job <job_id> "<summary of changes>"
# Only if the comment above succeeded:
roborev close <job_id>

The comment should reference each finding by severity and file, state what was fixed, and note any findings intentionally skipped. Keep it concise (1-3 sentences). Escape quotes and special characters in the bash command.

6. Commit

Follow the project's commit conventions (see CLAUDE.md). If the project instructs you to always commit, do so without asking.

Examples

Pasted findings in the prompt:

User: "Roborev found HIGH in foo.go:42 and MEDIUM in bar.go:10 ..."

Agent:

1. Treats the pasted findings as direct fix input
2. Fixes the code directly without invoking $roborev-fix
3. Only uses roborev commands if the user later asks to comment on or close a specific review

Auto-discovery:

User: $roborev-fix

Agent:

1. Runs roborev fix --open --list and finds 2 open reviews: job 1019 and job 1021
2. Fetches both reviews with roborev show --job 1019 --json and roborev show --job 1021 --json
3. Runs git show <git_ref> for one review where the finding lacked enough context
4. Fixes all 3 findings across both reviews, sorted by severity, grouped by file
5. Runs go test ./... to verify
6. Records comments and closes reviews:
   • roborev comment --commenter roborev-fix --job 1019 "Fixed null check and added error handling"
   • roborev close 1019
   • roborev comment --commenter roborev-fix --job 1021 "Fixed missing validation"
   • roborev close 1021
7. Commits the changes per project conventions

Explicit job IDs:

User: $roborev-fix 1019 1021

Agent:

1. Skips discovery, fetches job 1019 and 1021 directly
2. Job 1019 is verdict Fail with 2 findings; job 1021 is verdict Pass — skips 1021, informs user
3. Fixes the 2 findings from job 1019
4. Runs go test ./... to verify
5. Records comment and closes review:
   • roborev comment --commenter roborev-fix --job 1019 "Fixed null check in foo.go and error handling in bar.go"
   • roborev close 1019
6. Commits the changes per project conventions
