Review a GitHub PR. When no number is given, review the PR for the current branch.

For reviewing your uncommitted working diff instead, use /code-review.

Current Branch Context

  • Branch: !git branch --show-current
  • PR for this branch: !gh pr view --json number,title,state,url --jq '"#\(.number) \(.title) [\(.state)] \(.url)"' 2>/dev/null || echo "none"

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS - PR number to review (optional, e.g., #42 or 42).

Instructions

  1. Resolve which PR to review:
  • If $ARGUMENTS contains a number, review that PR.
  • Otherwise, use the current branch's PR shown in the context above.
  • If neither yields a PR (no argument and the branch has no open PR), run gh pr list and ask the user which one to review. Do NOT guess.
  1. Load the PR:
gh pr view <number> --json number,title,body,state,headRefName,baseRefName,url
gh pr diff <number>
  1. Review the diff against this project's standards (see .claude/CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/):
  • Bash 3.0+ compatibility (no declare -A, [[ ]], ${var,,}, negative indexing, &>>)
  • Tests exist and follow TDD; both success and failure paths covered
  • Naming, namespacing (bashunit::* / _private), and dynamic-scope safety
  • ShellCheck cleanliness and 2-space indentation (make lint, not shfmt)
  • CHANGELOG.md updated for user-facing changes
  1. Report findings grouped by severity (blocker / suggestion / nit), each as path:line — problem. fix.. No praise, no scope creep. State plainly if the PR looks good.
