roborev-design-review

Request a design review for a commit and present the results.

Usage

$roborev-design-review [commit]

When NOT to invoke this skill

Do NOT invoke this skill when the user is presenting or pasting existing review results. Messages that contain review findings, verdicts, or summaries are outputs — not requests to start a new review.

IMPORTANT

This skill requires you to execute bash commands to validate the commit and run the review. The task is not complete until the review finishes and you present the results to the user.

These instructions are guidelines, not a rigid script. Use the conversation context. Skip steps that are already satisfied. Defer to project-level CLAUDE.md instructions when they conflict with these steps.

Instructions

When the user invokes $roborev-design-review [commit]:

1. Validate inputs

If a commit ref is provided, verify it resolves to a valid commit:

git rev-parse --verify -- <commit>^{commit}

If validation fails, inform the user the ref is invalid. Do not proceed.

2. Build and run the command

Construct and execute the review command:

roborev review [commit] --wait --type design

• If no commit is specified, omit it (defaults to HEAD)

The --wait flag blocks until the review completes.

3. Present the results

If the command output contains an error (e.g., daemon not running, repo not initialized, review errored), report it to the user. Suggest roborev status to check the daemon, roborev init if the repo is not initialized, or re-running the review.

Otherwise, present the review to the user:

• Show the verdict prominently (Pass or Fail)
• If there are findings, list them grouped by severity with file paths and line numbers so the user can navigate directly
• If the review passed, a brief confirmation is sufficient

4. Offer next steps

If the review has findings (verdict is Fail), offer to address them:

• "Would you like me to fix these findings? You can run $roborev-fix <job_id>"

Extract the job ID from the review output to include in the suggestion. Look for it in the Enqueued job <id> for ... line or in the review header.

If the review passed, confirm the result and do not offer $roborev-fix.

Examples

Default design review of HEAD:

User: $roborev-design-review

Agent:

1. Executes roborev review --wait --type design
2. Presents the verdict and findings grouped by severity
3. If findings exist: "Would you like me to address these findings? Run $roborev-fix 1042"
4. If passed: "Design review passed with no findings."

Design review of a specific commit:

User: $roborev-design-review abc123

Agent:

1. Validates: git rev-parse --verify -- abc123^{commit}
2. Executes roborev review abc123 --wait --type design
3. Presents the verdict and findings
4. If findings exist: "Would you like me to address these findings? Run $roborev-fix 1043"
