| description | Run metareview's deterministic PR-ready gate before pushing or opening a PR; checks unresolved blockers, validation evidence, branch diff risks, generated PR evidence, and optional GitHub review context. |
Review PR Ready
Run this before pushing a PR branch or asking external reviewers to spend time.
Command
metareview review pr-ready [--base <ref>] [--previous-run <run-id>] [--max-attempts <n>] [--evidence <path>] [--github-pr <number>] [--include-working-tree]
Use --base for the reviewed branch diff, --previous-run after fixes, and --evidence for validation output. Use --max-attempts only on the first run; it sets the chain budget (default 3), with the first blocker run as attempt 1. Use --github-pr to include available GitHub PR context. By default, PR-ready reviews the committed branch diff and blocks on non-generated working-tree changes; use --include-working-tree only when those changes intentionally belong to the review.
Prefer structured evidence receipts:
go run ./cmd/metareview evidence run -- go test ./...
go run ./cmd/metareview evidence import --github-checks <pr-number>
Freeform evidence remains accepted as a fallback, but receipts preserve command, exit code, timestamps, and output hashes.
Workflow
- Run the command from the repository root.
- Exit handling:
0 means verify PASS/PASS_ADVISORY with zero blockers; 1 with a review path means follow that log; nonzero without a path means read stderr.
NEEDS_REVISION: fix blockers and re-run with --previous-run <run-id>.ESCALATED: stop same-target retries; human must narrow, split, or redesign the target.- After a passing verdict, use the generated
metareview PR Evidence section in the PR description or handoff.
GitHub context is optional in local mode. Missing gh, auth, remote, or PR number is recorded as unavailable context rather than a blocker.
