description	Delegation mode for open-code-review (OCR). Instead of OCR calling an LLM endpoint, this skill instructs the host agent to perform the code review itself, using OCR only for deterministic engineering: file selection and rule resolution. Use when the host agent should drive the review with its own LLM capabilities.
license	Apache-2.0
compatibility	Requires the `ocr` CLI installed (via `npm install -g @alibaba-group/open-code-review` or GitHub release binary). Does NOT require a configured LLM endpoint — delegation mode is LLM-free on the OCR side.

Open Code Review — Delegation Mode

A skill for performing AI code review where OCR provides deterministic engineering (file filtering, rule resolution) and the host agent performs the actual review using its own intelligence and tools.

Prerequisites

• ocr CLI installed: npm install -g @alibaba-group/open-code-review
• No LLM configuration needed on the OCR side — the host agent drives the review

Workflow

Step 1: Preview — Determine What to Review

ocr delegate preview

This lists the files that would be reviewed along with stats (file count, changed lines) — no LLM calls, no cost. Useful for checking scope before a full review.

Step 2: Get Rules for Files

ocr delegate rule <file1> <file2> ...

Returns the review rules that apply to each file. These are deterministic rule groups matched by file path patterns — use them as the review checklist.

Step 3: Get Diffs

Use git diff or the appropriate git command to get the actual changes for each file identified in Step 1.

Step 4: Review Each File

For each reviewable file:

1. Get its diff (Step 3)
2. Consult its Rule Group (from Step 2) for the review checklist
3. Conduct a thorough review, using appropriate context tools as needed

Step 5: Format Output

Each comment must follow this structure:

Field	Type	Required	Description
path	string	yes	Relative file path
content	string	yes	Review comment describing the issue
start_line	integer	no	Start line in the new file
end_line	integer	no	End line in the new file
category	enum	no	bug, security, performance, maintainability, test, style, documentation, other
severity	enum	no	critical, high, medium, low

Step 6: Classify and Report

Group comments by severity:

Severity	Criteria
High	Bugs, security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, correctness issues
Medium	Performance problems, maintainability concerns, test gaps, unclear logic
Low	Style nits, minor naming suggestions, documentation improvements

Nitpicks and likely false positives are silently dropped. Render a Markdown summary.

Step 7: Fix (Optional)

If the user said "review and fix" (or similar), apply safe fixes to High/Medium items inline. Otherwise ask before touching the code.

Sub-commands Reference

Command	Purpose
ocr delegate preview	List files that would be reviewed (dry-run, no LLM)
ocr delegate rule <files>	Get review rules for specific files

Shared Flags

Flag	Description
--from <ref>	Start of comparison range (default: main)
--to <ref>	End of comparison range (default: HEAD)
--commit <sha>	Review a single commit
--repo <path>	Path to Git repo (default: cwd)

Gotchas

• Delegation mode is LLM-free on the OCR side — the host agent does all the LLM work. No ocr config or API key needed.
• Rule resolution is deterministic — ocr delegate rule matches file paths against .ocr-rules.yaml patterns. If no rules file exists, it returns a default rule set.
• Preview first — always run ocr delegate preview before a full review to confirm scope and avoid wasted work.
