# Review PR
## Overview
Perform a read-only review and produce both human and machine-readable outputs.
Perform a thorough review-only PR assessment and return a structured recommendation on readiness for /preparepr.
## Inputs
- Ask for PR number or URL.
- If missing, always ask.
- If missing, always ask. Never auto-detect from conversation.
- If ambiguous, ask.
## Safety
- Never push, merge, or modify code intended to keep.
- Work only in `.worktrees/pr-<PR>`.
- Wrapper commands are cwd-agnostic; you can run them from repo root or inside the PR worktree.
- Never push to `main` or `origin/main`, not during review, not ever.
- Do not run `git push` at all during review. Treat review as read only.
- Do not stop or kill the gateway. Do not run gateway stop commands. Do not kill processes on port 18792.
- Do not perform any GitHub write action (comments, assignees, labels, state changes) unless maintainer explicitly approves it.
## Execution Contract
## Execution Rule
1. Run wrapper setup:
- Execute the workflow. Do not stop after printing the TODO checklist.
- If delegating, require the delegate to run commands and capture outputs, not a plan.
## Known Failure Modes
- If you see "fatal: not a git repository", you are in the wrong directory. Use `~/dev/openclaw` if available; otherwise ask user.
- Do not stop after printing the checklist. That is not completion.
## Writing Style for Output
- Write casual and direct.
- Avoid em dashes and en dashes. Use commas or separate sentences.
## Completion Criteria
- Run the commands in the worktree and inspect the PR directly.
- Produce the structured review sections A through J.
- Save the full review to `.local/review.md` inside the worktree.
## First: Create a TODO Checklist
Create a checklist of all review steps, print it, then continue and execute the commands.
## Setup: Use a Worktree
Use an isolated worktree for all review work.
```sh
scripts/pr-review <PR>
cd ~/dev/openclaw
# Sanity: confirm you are in the repo
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
WORKTREE_DIR=".worktrees/pr-<PR>"
git fetch origin main
# Reuse existing worktree if it exists, otherwise create new
if [ -d "$WORKTREE_DIR" ]; then
cd "$WORKTREE_DIR"
git checkout temp/pr-<PR> 2>/dev/null || git checkout -b temp/pr-<PR>
git fetch origin main
git reset --hard origin/main
else
git worktree add "$WORKTREE_DIR" -b temp/pr-<PR> origin/main
cd "$WORKTREE_DIR"
fi
# Create local scratch space that persists across /reviewpr to /preparepr to /mergepr
mkdir -p .local
```
2. Use explicit branch mode switches:
- Main baseline mode: `scripts/pr review-checkout-main <PR>`
- PR-head mode: `scripts/pr review-checkout-pr <PR>`
3. Before writing review outputs, run branch guard:
```sh
scripts/pr review-guard <PR>
```
4. Write both outputs:
- `.local/review.md` with sections A through J.
- `.local/review.json` with structured findings.
5. Validate artifacts semantically:
```sh
scripts/pr review-validate-artifacts <PR>
```
Run all commands inside the worktree directory.
Start on `origin/main` so you can check for existing implementations before looking at PR code.
## Steps
1. Setup and metadata
1. Identify PR meta and context
```sh
scripts/pr-review <PR>
ls -la .local/pr-meta.json .local/pr-meta.env .local/review-context.env .local/review-mode.env
gh pr view <PR> --json number,title,state,isDraft,author,baseRefName,headRefName,headRepository,url,body,labels,assignees,reviewRequests,files,additions,deletions --jq '{number,title,url,state,isDraft,author:.author.login,base:.baseRefName,head:.headRefName,headRepo:.headRepository.nameWithOwner,additions,deletions,files:.files|length,body}'
```
2. Existing implementation check on main
2. Check if this already exists in main before looking at the PR branch
- Identify the core feature or fix from the PR title and description.
- Search for existing implementations using keywords from the PR title, changed file paths, and function or component names from the diff.
```sh
scripts/pr review-checkout-main <PR>
rg -n "<keyword>" -S src extensions apps || true
git log --oneline --all --grep "<keyword>" | head -20
# Use keywords from the PR title and changed files
rg -n "<keyword_from_pr_title>" -S src packages apps ui || true
rg -n "<function_or_component_name>" -S src packages apps ui || true
git log --oneline --all --grep="<keyword_from_pr_title>" | head -20
```
3. Claim PR
If it already exists, call it out as a BLOCKER or at least IMPORTANT.
3. Optional claim step, only with explicit approval
If the maintainer asks to claim the PR, assign yourself. Otherwise skip this.
```sh
gh_user=$(gh api user --jq .login)
gh pr edit <PR> --add-assignee "$gh_user" || echo "Could not assign reviewer, continuing"
gh pr edit <PR> --add-assignee "$gh_user"
```
4. Read PR description and diff
4. Read the PR description carefully
Use the body from step 1. Summarize goal, scope, and missing context.
5. Read the diff thoroughly
Minimum:
```sh
scripts/pr review-checkout-pr <PR>
gh pr diff <PR>
source .local/review-context.env
git diff --stat "$MERGE_BASE"..pr-<PR>
git diff "$MERGE_BASE"..pr-<PR>
```
5. Optional local tests
Use the wrapper for target validation and executed-test verification:
If you need full code context locally, fetch the PR head to a local ref and diff it. Do not create a merge commit.
```sh
scripts/pr review-tests <PR> <test-file> [<test-file> ...]
git fetch origin pull/<PR>/head:pr-<PR>
# Show changes without modifying the working tree
git diff --stat origin/main..pr-<PR>
git diff origin/main..pr-<PR>
```
6. Initialize review artifact templates
If you want to browse the PR version of files directly, temporarily check out `pr-<PR>` in the worktree. Do not commit or push. Return to `temp/pr-<PR>` and reset to `origin/main` afterward.
```sh
scripts/pr review-artifacts-init <PR>
# Use only if needed
# git checkout pr-<PR>
# ...inspect files...
git checkout temp/pr-<PR>
git reset --hard origin/main
```
7. Produce review outputs
6. Validate the change is needed and valuable
- Fill `.local/review.md` sections A through J.
- Fill `.local/review.json`.
Be honest. Call out low value AI slop.
Minimum JSON shape:
7. Evaluate implementation quality
```json
{
"recommendation": "READY FOR /prepare-pr",
"findings": [
{
"id": "F1",
"severity": "IMPORTANT",
"title": "...",
"area": "path/or/component",
"fix": "Actionable fix"
}
],
"tests": {
"ran": [],
"gaps": [],
"result": "pass"
},
"docs": "up_to_date|missing|not_applicable",
"changelog": "required"
}
```
Review correctness, design, performance, and ergonomics.
8. Guard + validate before final output
8. Perform a security review
Assume OpenClaw subagents run with full disk access, including git, gh, and shell. Check auth, input validation, secrets, dependencies, tool safety, and privacy.
9. Review tests and verification
Identify what exists, what is missing, and what would be a minimal regression test.
10. Check docs
Check if the PR touches code with related documentation such as README, docs, inline API docs, or config examples.
- If docs exist for the changed area and the PR does not update them, flag as IMPORTANT.
- If the PR adds a new feature or config option with no docs, flag as IMPORTANT.
- If the change is purely internal with no user-facing impact, skip this.
11. Check changelog
Check if `CHANGELOG.md` exists and whether the PR warrants an entry.
- If the project has a changelog and the PR is user-facing, flag missing entry as IMPORTANT.
- Leave the change for /preparepr, only flag it here.
12. Answer the key question
Decide if /preparepr can fix issues or the contributor must update the PR.
13. Save findings to the worktree
Write the full structured review sections A through J to `.local/review.md`.
Create or overwrite the file and verify it exists and is non-empty.
```sh
scripts/pr review-guard <PR>
scripts/pr review-validate-artifacts <PR>
ls -la .local/review.md
wc -l .local/review.md
```
14. Output the structured review
Produce a review that matches what you saved to `.local/review.md`.
A) TL;DR recommendation
- One of: READY FOR /preparepr | NEEDS WORK | NEEDS DISCUSSION | NOT USEFUL (CLOSE)
- 1 to 3 sentences.
B) What changed
C) What is good
D) Security findings
E) Concerns or questions (actionable)
- Numbered list.
- Mark each item as BLOCKER, IMPORTANT, or NIT.
- For each, point to file or area and propose a concrete fix.
F) Tests
G) Docs status
- State if related docs are up to date, missing, or not applicable.
H) Changelog
- State if `CHANGELOG.md` needs an entry and which category.
I) Follow ups (optional)
J) Suggested PR comment (optional)
## Guardrails
- Keep review read-only.
- Do not delete worktree.
- Use merge-base scoped diff for local context to avoid stale branch drift.
- Worktree only.
- Do not delete the worktree after review.
- Review only, do not merge, do not push.
