About
pr-review-expert is an alirezarezvani/claude-skills engineering skill for systematic GitHub PR and GitLab MR review. The workflow fetches diffs with gh pr diff or glab mr diff, traces blast radius across importers and service boundaries, scans for SQL injection, XSS, auth bypass, hardcoded secrets, and dependency risks, and calculates test coverage deltas against new logic. It detects breaking API, GraphQL, and schema contract changes and links Jira or Linear tickets to scope. The bundled checklist contains 41 reviewer items and produces prioritized findings beyond style nits. Developers reach for pr-review-expert before merging diffs over 200 lines, database migrations, auth paths, or payments code. Output is a reviewer-ready report with severity-ranked issues, CI status context, and performance flags such as N+1 queries or bundle regressions suitable for team merge gates.
