By name: guide
description: Use when the user asks a free-text question about a convention without a concrete file path ("how do I write a command handler here?", "what's the logging policy?"). The agent needs knowledge retrieval, not a review verdict. Skip when a file path is already known (use autoreview:context); skip when the user actually wants a pass/fail verdict on existing code (use autoreview:review); skip when no .autoreview/ exists — use autoreview:setup first.
AutoReview Guide
Cross-platform. Snippets below use bash-style env-var syntax (
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}). Claude Code's Bash tool runs Git Bash on Windows so these work as-is; on native PowerShell substitute$env:CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, on cmd use%CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT%. Plugin requires Node ≥22 — only assumed binary.
Token-based search over rule name / description / body. Returns up to 5 ranked rules with their read: paths. Zero LLM cost.
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bin/guide.mjs '<free-text query>'
Output: top 5 matching rules with a one-line "why relevant" plus read: paths. Read them, then answer the user's question citing the rule ids.
Rules are listed using effective frontmatter (post-overlay) — remote rule overrides from remote_rules[].overrides are already merged in. What you see is what the reviewer enforces.
For a known file path, use autoreview:context instead — it filters by trigger (more precise than text similarity).
If output is "no relevant rules found", invoke autoreview:create-rule to author one.
