What it does
The agent checks a bounded change against your request and the repository's
rules, including applicable AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md guidance. Files stay as
they are; findings are evidence for a later decision or fix.
When to use it
Install the Workflow plugin, then name what to review. The agent selects review when the request matches. For example:
Review this branch against main before I open the PR.
You can name a working tree, branch, PR, commit, commit range, or existing document. Use it for a final check before accepting work. To apply findings, ask for fixes through engineering. For an interactive explanation of the change, use walkthrough.
How it works
The agent verifies the exact subject first. For a branch, that means its verified merge base through its head. It reports unrelated or dirty changes outside the selected range instead of including them silently.
It reads every changed file and traces affected behavior through the owning code, callers, tests, types, configuration, and documentation. Changed or removed tests must still leave the behavior protected, unless the contract they checked is now obsolete. Substantial coverage changes get a read-only test-audit.
Checks stay focused on the selected contract. Available complexity, dead-code, and duplication tools contribute evidence. A blocked or unavailable check is a limitation, never a pass. Style preferences and requests to expand scope do not count as findings.
SKILL.md has the exact scope and evidence requirements.
What you get
- Findings ordered by impact, each with a file and line or command evidence, the consequence, and a precise next action.
- A statement that no findings are supported, when that is what the evidence shows.
- The reviewed subject, exact check results, and limits, including whether the reviewer was independent of the author.
Review does not edit files, commit, push, publish, post comments, or accept the change for you.
