ADFA-5686: add the pr-review skill - #1825
Conversation
Repo-scoped rather than a personal skill because its verdict rules read this repo's CLAUDE.md, branch model and QA gate, so it is only correct here and changes to how we review go through a PR. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

Claude Code Review
This repository is configured for manual code reviews. Comment @claude review for a one-time review, or @claude review always to subscribe this PR to a review on every future push.
Tip: disable this comment in your organization's Code Review settings.
The Files changed tab renders each comment at its anchor, so the reading surface cannot be severity-ordered by any payload. Sorting comments[] only buys ascending IDs and a deterministic listing; the severity order the author actually needs has to live in the review body, which renders above them.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds an automation skill that publishes GitHub findings and verdicts. Unresolved head-change, approval-state, and verdict-binding paths could attach feedback or decisions to the wrong code, so the change is not ready to merge without those safeguards. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- Around line 178-179: Update the confirmation flow around the gh pr review
commands to bind the verdict to the verified pull request head: re-read the head
commit after confirmation and submit through the SHA-aware POST
/pulls/{n}/reviews endpoint, or repeat verification immediately before
submission. Do not use gh pr review for the final verdict because it cannot
specify commit_id.
In @.claude/skills/pr-review/scripts/diff_anchors.py:
- Line 86: Update the path-matching condition in the diff-anchor validation to
require exact equality for --check, while preserving suffix matching for --file.
Ensure the selected anchor belongs to the exact requested path before generating
the postable review anchor.
In @.claude/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md:
- Around line 93-94: Update the review-processing jq pipeline around the
approved-review filter to group reviews by reviewer, retain each reviewer’s
latest submitted review, and only then select entries whose effective latest
state is APPROVED. Preserve the existing output fields user, sha, at, and url.

- Line 346: Update the unlabeled code fence near the markdownlint guidance in
SKILL.md by adding a language identifier such as text or markdown after its
opening fence, resolving markdownlint MD040 without changing the fenced content.
- Around line 333-334: Update the comments[] sorting instructions to use a
total, deterministic key: retain severity order, then sort by path and line,
followed by side, start_line, start_side, and a stable finding identifier to
resolve all remaining ties.
- Around line 365-369: Update the review-comment linking guidance near the POST
flow: do not assume the review response provides per-entry html_url values; if
clickable links are needed, fetch pull-request comments, filter by
pull_request_review_id, and map returned html_url values to entries. Otherwise
preserve the plain path:line index and its failure-tolerant behavior.

Adds
.claude/skills/pr-review, a repo-scoped Claude Code skill that reviews a pull request, posts each finding as an inline comment prefixed withCRITICAL/IMPORTANT/MINOR/NITPICK, and records an approve / comment / request-changes verdict.It does not do the reviewing.
/code-reviewdoes. This skill owns what happens afterwards, which is the part that is wrong today:/code-review --commentposts unlabelled standalone comments on an endpoint that cannot carry an approval, so nothing grades the findings and nothing records a decision.What it adds on top of
/code-reviewscripts/diff_anchors.pydoes the anchor half.CLAUDE.md/REVIEW.md/CONTRIBUTING.mdfirst and names the document it applied. MINOR deliberately does not block, because its definition is "safe to merge".--even-if-approvedoverrides.comments[]is sorted CRITICAL to NITPICK, which makes the IDs and the API listing ascend by severity. That is all it can do: the Files changed tab renders each comment at its anchor, so no payload reorders the surface the author reads. The severity order the author needs therefore goes in the review body as a one-clause index above the comments.Stacked PRs
Per the PR-stack guidance in
CLAUDE.md, a stacked PR's diff is one layer while its files contain every layer below. The skill detects the stack (gh stack view --json, or by walkingbaseRefName) and holds two refs: the review head for anchors and the POST, and the stack tip for every claim. Grading against the tip is what stops a review re-reporting defects a higher layer already repaired.Two consequences, both recorded in the closing report:
It also re-reads the head SHA immediately before posting, because
gh stack rebaseandgh stack syncrewrite every branch above a changed layer and can move the head mid-review.Why repo-scoped
The verdict rules read this repo's
CLAUDE.md, branch model and QA gate, so the skill is only correct here. Keeping it in the repo alongsidearchitecture-review,retroandstrings-xml-translation-checkmeans everyone's review behaviour moves together and changes to it go through review like any other change.Verification
.claude/skills/, 696 insertions, nothing else in the diff.spotlessCheckpassed via the pre-push hook (BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 37s), so no file was pulled under the ratchet.assembleV8Debugresult to report and no font-scale check to run.references/github-api.mdwere verified against the live GitHub schema when written, and the two traps documented there are real:gh pr view --json reviewDecisioncomes back empty on a repo with no required reviewers even when someone has approved, andlatestReviewsreturns empty strings forcommit.oid,idandurl.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
