PR Review

SkillFiles & storage

Review a PR or the current branch for a Lumen design-system change — routes each changed file to React (web/Tailwind) or React Native (useStyleSheet) guidelines, checks the Nx version plan, and reports a flat, severity-scored finding list. Use when the user asks to review a PR, review code changes, check a branch, do a local code review, or provides a GitHub PR URL.

Review a change against Lumen's conventions. The distinctive skill here is platform routing: this is a cross-platform monorepo, so the same finding category means different things in libs/ui-react (Tailwind) versus libs/ui-rnative (useStyleSheet). Apply the right rules to the right files and never leak one platform's rules onto the other.

Setup

Local branch

git fetch origin main
git diff origin/main...HEAD --stat
git diff origin/main...HEAD
git log origin/main...HEAD --oneline

Remote PR (GitHub link)

gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,files
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER>

Then read the full diff. For each changed file, read the whole file (not just the hunk) so findings account for surrounding context. Group changes into new files, modified files, deleted files.

Platform routing (do this first)

Derive the touched libs from the changed paths (git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only | cut -d/ -f1-2 | sort -u), map each to its platform via the Libraries table in AGENTS.md, then apply the matching topic skill's ## Review checks. Applying the wrong platform's rules is the main failure mode — decide deliberately.

The concrete, diff-verifiable violations for each topic live in that topic skill's ## Review checks table — this skill does not restate them:

Tests (Vitest vs Jest)component-testing
File/folder layout & required filescomponent-anatomy
Storiescomponent-stories
MDX docscomponent-mdx

Version planrelease-plan (scored below)

Rules:

  • A single PR often touches both platforms (a component usually ships on web and native together). When both ui-react* and ui-rnative* are touched, apply both the web and RN review checks and add the API-parity check: prop names, defaults, and variant vocabulary should match across the two implementations unless there's a platform reason not to (Parity).
  • Never apply Tailwind rules to an RN file or useStyleSheet rules to a web file. The token vocabulary is shared (bg-mutedt.colors.bg.muted), the mechanism is not.
  • Visualization / lib exceptions are described once in the Libraries table and in each skill's Review checks (e.g. RN charts under Components/visualization/ use useTheme() + flat stories, no .mdx/figma). Don't flag files a lib does not use.
  • libs/design-core/**: the CSS/Tailwind tokens and the JS theme objects must stay in sync (see the figma-token-sync skill). If a token is added/changed on one side only, flag it under Consistency.
  • libs/utils-shared/**: cross-platform TS/React — apply the shared criteria below, no styling rules.

Already enforced — do not review by hand

These are ESLint errors (see eslint.config.mjs) and a Stop hook runs nx affected --target=lint --fix automatically. Flagging them by hand is noise; spend findings on things a linter can't catch. Do not raise:

  • Banned imports (no-restricted-imports): forwardRef, TouchableOpacity, Animated/Easing/LayoutAnimation, ElementRef, MutableRefObject.
  • Import hygiene: import/order, import/no-duplicates, import/no-cycle, import/no-default-export, import/no-unused-modules.
  • Type style: type over interface (consistent-type-definitions), import type (consistent-type-imports), T[] over Array<T> (array-type).
  • Dead/unused code (no-unused-vars), eqeqeq, no-negated-condition, default-param-last, no-console, and all formatting (prettier).
  • Accessibility lint (jsx-a11y strict) and module boundaries (@nx/enforce-module-boundaries scope tags).
  • Unknown/invalid Tailwind classnames (eslint-plugin-better-tailwindcss).

Caveat: a valid Tailwind class that should be a design token (text-gray-500, font-bold, w-[108px]) lints clean — that stays a manual check, see component-styling's Review checks.

Findings vs severity — independent

  • Number of findings is unbounded. 0 is a valid, good result. Never pad to a number, never cap at one.
  • Severity (X/10) rates a single finding's importance. It has nothing to do with how many findings there are.

No hallucinated findings

Only report issues you can point to at a concrete file:line. If the code is correct and follows conventions, report zero findings and recommend approval. Never invent, pad, or raise speculative "could maybe" issues. Do not flag style that already matches the codebase.

Severity scale

  • 10/10 Critical — bugs, crashes, data loss, security. Must fix before merge.
  • 8-9/10 Major — wrong abstraction, missing error handling, type unsafety that compiles but fails at runtime, missing version plan.
  • 6-7/10 Moderate — performance flaws, inconsistency with codebase patterns, missing tests for important paths, wrong version-plan bump type.
  • 4-5/10 Minor — naming inconsistencies, suboptimal patterns, missing JSDoc on public API.
  • 1-3/10 Nit — cosmetic, optional, preference.

Shared review criteria (both platforms)

Apply these regardless of platform; platform specifics are in the references.

Correctness

  • Does the code do what it claims? Are edge cases handled (null, undefined, empty arrays, error/loading states)?
  • Async: race conditions, cleanup on unmount, no unhandled rejections.
  • Nullable/optional values handled safely; user-facing error messages helpful.
  • Comments explain intent (the why), never restate the code — flag comments that just narrate mechanics, and complex logic left uncommented.

Type safety

  • No any (lint only warns) or as assertions that hide a real mismatch.
  • Explicit return types on module-level functions (except JSX components).
  • Generics not overly broad or narrow.

Performance

  • Unnecessary re-renders: unstable objects/functions passed to memoized children.
  • Large inline objects/arrays created every render; expensive work not memoized.
  • List key correctness.

Abstraction & API quality

The rules — prop naming, positive booleans, minimal public API, Base*Props layering, compound composition, controlled/uncontrolled state, cross-platform parity, memoization — are owned by the component-architecture skill. Apply its ## Review checks table here (routed above); this skill does not restate them.

Docs vs implementation consistency

  • .stories.tsx and .mdx must reflect the current API — no references to removed/renamed props, default values match the implementation, interactive examples still work. (Not applicable to visualization libs.)

Version plan check

The version-plan rules (when a plan is required, the exemption list, the path→package mapping, filename convention, always-patch, one-package-per-file) live in the release-plan skill — the single source. Load it if you need the detail. Here, just verify and score:

git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only -- .nx/version-plans/
  • Production code under libs/*/src/ changed but no plan existsMajor (8/10), category Release. (A PR touching only exempt files needs no plan.)
  • Bump type is not patchModerate (6/10), Release, recommend patch.
  • A single file groups multiple packages (should be one file per package) → Moderate (6/10), Release.
  • Plan names the wrong package for the changed paths (see the mapping in release-plan) → Moderate (6/10), Release.

Output

If the review is short (fewer than ~15 findings), return it directly. If long, write it to tmp/pr-review-[branch-name].md and report the path (tmp is gitignored).

The review is a flat, scored list — one item per finding, sorted by severity (highest first). No per-file nesting; each item is self-contained.

### Details

**1. [Finding title]** — 9/10 Type Safety — `libs/ui-react/src/lib/Components/core/Menu/types.ts:28`
[1-3 sentence description]
> **Fix**: [concrete suggestion]

Key rules for output

  • Each finding has exactly one severity, one category, one file:line location. Use a range (:42-50) when it spans lines. The location in the table must match the location in the details entry.
  • Categories: Correctness, Type Safety, Consistency, Performance, Abstraction, API Quality, Docs Consistency, Release, Parity.
  • The summary table comes first for scanning; details follow for depth.
  • Zero findings is a valid result — say so explicitly and recommend approval.

Tips

  • Always read the full file, not just the diff hunk.
  • Compare against a similar existing component in the same library for pattern alignment.
  • Check the PR doesn't accidentally remove or break existing barrel exports.
  • Verify new dependencies land in the correct package.json (peer vs dev).
