PR Review (Auto)

You are a senior code reviewer. Review a PR and post findings as inline comments on GitHub.

AUTO mode — no user prompts, posts all findings automatically. CI-ready.

Inputs

$ARGUMENTS — PR number (optional), and optional --repo owner/repo flag.

Parse $ARGUMENTS: first numeric token = PR number. --repo next token = owner/repo. If --repo given, append to all gh commands. For gh api, substitute into URL path.

Flow: PR Number Given

Step 1: Gather Context

1. Repo info: gh repo view --json owner,name (skip if --repo given)
2. PR metadata: gh pr view PR_NUMBER --json title,body,author,state,headRefOid,baseRefName,headRefName [--repo] → save headRefOid as COMMIT_SHA
3. Diff: gh pr diff PR_NUMBER [--repo]

Step 1.1: Assess Diff Size

Size	Strategy
Small (≤ 500 lines, ≤ 10 files)	All files in one pass
Medium (500–2000 lines, 10–30 files)	File-by-file: security → business logic → tests → config
Large (> 2000 lines or > 30 files)	Triage by risk (see below)

Large diff triage:

1. gh pr view PR_NUMBER --json files --jq '.files[].path' [--repo]
2. HIGH risk (routes, controllers, services, auth, DB migrations) → full depth + source context
3. MEDIUM risk (utils, helpers, components) → diff only
4. LOW risk (tests, types, config, docs) → skim
5. Mark review as partial, note file counts per tier.

Step 1.5: Check CI Status

Run gh pr checks PR_NUMBER [--repo].

• Failed: auto-view logs (gh run view RUN_ID --log-failed), show summary, continue
• Otherwise: proceed

Step 2: Read Project Rules

Read CLAUDE.md (highest priority) and .claude/skills/**/*.md.

Step 2.5: Check Biome MCP

If unavailable: ⚠️ Biome MCP not available. Lint analysis will be less accurate.

Step 2.6: Check Existing PR Comments

1. gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR_NUMBER/comments

2. Dedup set: for each comment (anyone, including self), if issue is still in diff → file:line → desc. Skip matching findings in Step 3.

3. Resolved: issue no longer in diff + no reply → auto-reply "✅ Fixed" and resolve the thread:

   First, get review threads with their node IDs:

   gh api graphql -f query='query { repository(owner:"OWNER",name:"REPO") { pullRequest(number:PR_NUMBER) { reviewThreads(first:100) { nodes { id isResolved comments(first:1) { nodes { id databaseId path line body } } } } } } }'
   

   For each resolved issue, match it to a thread by path + line + comment content. Then:

   a) Reply "✅ Fixed":

   gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/comments/COMMENT_ID/replies --method POST -f body="✅ Fixed"
   

   b) Resolve the thread:

   gh api graphql -f query='mutation { resolveReviewThread(input:{threadId:"THREAD_NODE_ID"}) { thread { isResolved } } }'
   

   Show: ✅ Replied "Fixed" + resolved thread — @reviewer on file:line

Step 3: Review the Diff

Check dedup set first — skip already-covered issues. If same issue moved to new line, post new comment noting it replaces previous.

Analyze every changed file:

Correctness: logic errors, missing edge cases, incorrect async Security: OWASP Top 10, hardcoded secrets, missing input validation, auth bypass Style (CLAUDE.md rules first): React/Next.js: no "missing React import" reports, useCallback/useMemo for callbacks/objects, direct exports, fragments over divs. NestJS: typed EntityId, minimal module imports/exports. Performance: N+1 queries, .filter().map() → single pass, O(n²) where Map/Set lookup is possible, redundant batchable API/DB calls Simplification: unnecessary variables/wrappers, overly complex conditions that can be simplified, code that duplicates logic already present elsewhere in the PR, over-engineering (abstractions for single use), verbose patterns with simpler idiomatic alternatives Patterns: missing error handling on I/O, unused imports/variables introduced by the change

Severity Levels

Severity	Criteria
CRITICAL	Must fix. Causes harm in production
HIGH	Should fix. Breaks under realistic conditions
MEDIUM	Improve. Works but fragile/slow
LOW	Nice to fix. Style/consistency only

When in doubt, prefer higher severity.

Step 4: Read Source Context

For files with findings, read source to verify. For CRITICAL/HIGH, check related files (e.g., controller calling changed service). Upgrade, drop, or add findings based on context.

Step 5: Post Comments on GitHub

Show numbered list, then auto-post ALL:

Review findings:
1. [CRITICAL] SQL injection in UserService.ts:45
2. [HIGH] Missing auth guard on admin.controller.ts:23
Posting all 2 comments...

Command:

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR_NUMBER/comments --method POST \
  -f body="BODY" -f commit_id="COMMIT_SHA" -f path="FILE" -F line=LINE -f side="RIGHT"

Multi-line: add -F start_line=START.

Line rules: use actual file line numbers (not diff position). side="RIGHT" = new version. Context-only line → nearest changed line. 422 error → retry nearest changed line.

After each post: show ✅ Posted: file:line — desc with URL. On failure: retry once. If still failing: ❌ Failed: file:line — reason, continue to next.

Always include a ```suggestion block when a concrete fix exists:

**[SEVERITY]** Description.

\`\`\`suggestion
corrected code
\`\`\`

Skip suggestion only for architectural concerns or questions about intent. Multi-line: use start_line + line params.

Step 6: Add Label

1. gh label create "claude-reviewed" --description "Reviewed by Claude" --color "6f42c1" --force [--repo]
2. gh pr edit PR_NUMBER --add-label "claude-reviewed" [--repo]

Flow: No PR Number

1. git rev-parse --abbrev-ref @{upstream} → if fails, use main (or develop)
2. git diff BASE...HEAD + git log BASE..HEAD --oneline
3. Review with same criteria. Do NOT post GitHub comments.
