SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Review and ship
Trigger
Reviewing changes before shipping. Close key issues, verify behavior, and open or update a PR.
Workflow
- Gather context: diff against base branch, uncommitted changes, recent commits, changed files, and user intent from recent relevant chats if useful.
- Run targeted tests for changed behavior. If no focused tests exist, decide whether to add them or document the gap.
- Review for correctness, regressions, security, and intent fit. Use parallel subagents for larger diffs.
- Fix critical issues before finalizing and re-run affected tests.
- Commit selective files with a concise message.
- Push branch and open or update a PR.
Suggested Checks
git fetch origin main
git diff origin/main...HEAD
git status
gh pr checks --json name,bucket,state,workflow,link
Guardrails
- Prioritize correctness, security, and regressions over style-only comments.
- Keep commits focused and avoid unrelated file changes.
- If pre-commit checks fail, fix the issues rather than bypassing hooks.
- Use
gh pr checksinstead of GitHub Actions-only commands when judging PR readiness.
Output
- Findings summary (critical, warning, note)
