Review
Standalone code review for any PR. Runs the full lead-reviewer analysis against the spec and project standards. Posting inline comments and the summary to GitHub is your choice — you are prompted at the end.
Step 1 — Resolve the PR
If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the PR number or URL.
Otherwise resolve from the current branch:
gh pr list --head "$(git branch --show-current)" --json number,url -q '.[0] | "\(.number) \(.url)"'
If no PR is found, tell the user and stop.
Step 2 — Read config and gather context
Read .claude/maestro.json. Extract:
TEMP_ROOT=.ai.temp_rootREPO=.ai.repo
Then gather from the PR:
gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json baseRefName,body -q '{base: .baseRefName, body: .body}'
Extract the base branch and the linked issue number (look for Fixes #N, Closes #N, or
a GitHub issue URL in the PR body).
Step 3 — Locate the spec
If a linked issue number was found, check for a spec at:
{TEMP_ROOT}/issues/<N>/spec.md
If the spec exists, pass its path to the agent. If it does not exist, inform the user: "No grooming spec found — the review will check against project standards only (spec compliance section will be skipped)."
Step 4 — Invoke the lead-reviewer agent
Invoke the lead-reviewer sub-agent with:
- Issue number (if known) and spec path (if found, else omit)
- Base branch from Step 2
- PR number

STANDALONE MODE — two differences from the normal pipeline run:
- Skip Step 5 (inline PR comments) and Step 5b (summary PR comment). Instead, output the full review report — findings table, blockers, nice-to-haves — as formatted Markdown in your response, in a section titled
## Review Report.- Skip Step 6 (StructuredOutput JSON). Return a short human-readable verdict summary instead: overall verdict, blocker count, and any open questions.
Step 5 — Offer to post
After the agent responds, display its ## Review Report and ask:
Post this review to PR #<PR_NUMBER>? Reply
yesto post inline comments + summary,noto finish here.
If yes — the agent posts inline comments (Step 5) and the summary comment (Step 5b)
using the normal dedup flow. Both respect the <!-- ai-pipeline:lead-review --> marker so
a re-run later (via the pipeline) will update in place rather than duplicate.
If no — confirm the review is complete and finish.
