Review PR

Comprehensive code review of a pull request or branch diff against its base. Unlike review-delta (quick review of uncommitted local changes), this reviews ALL commits in a branch for PR submission readiness.

Token optimization: Before starting, call help(topic="graph") for the full actions reference. Never include full files unless explicitly asked.

Steps

  1. Identify the changes for the PR:

    • If a PR number or branch is provided, use git diff main...<branch> to get changed files
    • Otherwise auto-detect from the current branch vs main/master
  2. Update the graph by calling graph(action="build", base="main") to ensure the graph reflects the current state.

  3. Commit-by-commit analysis (for PRs with >3 commits):

    • git log --oneline main..HEAD to list all commits
    • Group related commits by area (feature, fix, refactor, test, docs)
    • Verify each commit message follows Conventional Commits (type(scope): description)
    • Flag commits that mix unrelated changes
  4. Get the full review context by calling review(base="main"):

    • Returns all changed files across all commits in the PR
    • Includes impacted nodes and blast radius
  5. Analyze impact by calling query(action="impact", base="main"):

    • Review the blast radius across the entire PR
    • Identify high-risk areas (widely depended-upon code)
  6. Breaking change detection for public APIs:

    • Identify exported/public functions, classes, types that changed
    • Check for: removed parameters, changed return types, renamed exports, removed functions
    • Use query(action="query", pattern="callers_of", target=<func>) to find all consumers
    • Flag any change where callers outside the PR would break
  7. Deep-dive each changed file:

    • Read the full source of files with significant changes
    • Use query(action="query", pattern="tests_for", target=<func>) to verify test coverage
    • Check for untested new functions
  8. Generate structured review output:

    ## PR Review: <title>
    
    ### Summary
    <1-3 sentence overview>
    
    ### Conventional Commits Check
    - [x] `feat(parser): add Go support` -- valid
    - [ ] `fixed stuff` -- invalid, should be `fix(scope): description`
    
    ### Risk Assessment
    - **Overall risk**: Low / Medium / High
    - **Blast radius**: X files, Y functions impacted
    - **Test coverage**: N changed functions covered / M total
    - **Breaking changes**: None / List of breaking changes
    
    ### File-by-File Review
    #### <file_path>
    - Changes: <description>
    - Impact: <who depends on this>
    - Issues: <bugs, style, concerns>
    
    ### Missing Tests
    - <function_name> in <file> - no test coverage found
    
    ### Recommendations
    1. <actionable suggestion>
    

Key Differences from review-delta

Aspect review-delta review-pr
Scope Uncommitted changes only Full branch diff (all commits)
Speed Fast, minimal context Thorough, more context
Use case Quick check before commit PR submission readiness
Commit analysis N/A Commit-by-commit + conventional commit check
Breaking changes Not checked Explicitly detected

Tips

  • For large PRs (>10 files), focus on the highest-impact files first (most dependents)
  • Use query(action="search", search_query=<term>) to find related code the PR might have missed
  • Check if renamed/moved functions have updated all callers
