PR Reviewer

Automated code review for GitHub pull requests. Analyzes diffs for security issues, error handling gaps, style problems, and test coverage.

Prerequisites

• - gh CLI installed and authenticated (gh auth status)
• Repository access (read at minimum, write for posting comments)
• Optional: golangci-lint for Go linting, ruff for Python linting

Quick Start

CODEBLOCK0

Configuration

Set these environment variables or the script auto-detects from the current git repo:

• - PR_REVIEW_REPO — GitHub repo in owner/repo format (default: detected from gh repo view)
• INLINECODE7 — Local checkout path for lint (default: git root of cwd)
• INLINECODE8 — State file path (default: ./data/pr-reviews.json)
• INLINECODE10 — Report output directory (default: ./data/pr-reviews/)

Directories Written

• - PR_REVIEW_STATE (default: ./data/pr-reviews.json) — Tracks reviewed PRs and their HEAD SHAs
• PR_REVIEW_OUTDIR (default: ./data/pr-reviews/) — Markdown review reports

What It Checks

Smart Re-Review

Tracks HEAD SHA per PR. Only re-reviews when new commits are pushed. Use review <PR#> to force re-review.

Report Format

Reports are saved as markdown files in the output directory. Each report includes:

• - PR metadata (author, branch, changes)
• Commit list
• Changed file categorization by language/type
• Automated diff findings with file, line, category, and context
• Test coverage analysis
• Local lint results (when repo is checked out locally)
• Summary verdict: 🔴 SECURITY / 🟡 NEEDS ATTENTION / 🔵 MINOR NOTES / ✅ LOOKS GOOD

Heartbeat/Cron Integration

Add to a periodic check (heartbeat, cron job, or CI):
