| name | code-review |
| description | Review code changes from current branch, an Azure DevOps PR, a git ref, or a diff/patch file. Trigger when user says "review this", "code review", "/df:code-review", or provides a PR id/URL, ticket URL, git ref, or diff path. Read-only — never posts comments. |
Code Review
Single entry point. Detect input source, produce a diff file, then run the review pipeline.
Input Detection
Argument is $ARGUMENTS (may be empty).
| Form | Source |
|---|
| empty | current branch vs base (master/main) |
staged | git diff --staged |
numeric (12345) | Azure DevOps PR id |
URL containing _git/.../pullrequest/<id> | Azure DevOps PR URL |
URL containing _workitems/edit/<id> or ticket id mapped to PR | resolve work item → PR via az boards |
path ending .diff or .patch | local diff file |
| anything else | treat as git ref (branch / sha / tag) |
Ambiguous → ask user. Do NOT guess.
Workflow
1. Resolve input → diff file path + metadata
empty
base=$(git rev-parse --verify master 2>/dev/null && echo master || echo main)
cur=$(git branch --show-current)
[ "$cur" = "$base" ] && abort "On base branch ($base). Switch to a feature branch."
git diff "$base"...HEAD > "/tmp/review-diff-$(date +%s).diff"
files=$(git diff --name-only "$base"...HEAD)
title="$cur"
staged
git diff --staged > "/tmp/review-diff-staged-$(date +%s).diff"
files=$(git diff --staged --name-only)
title="staged changes"
PR id / PR URL
Extract numeric id from URL if needed. Then:
az repos pr show --id <id> --output json
az repos pr diff --id <id> > "/tmp/review-diff-pr-<id>.diff"
Title/description/author/targetRefName from pr show output. Skip if status completed/abandoned, title has [WIP]/[Draft], author is bot, or only auto-generated files changed.
Work item / ticket URL
az boards work-item show --id <ticket-id> --expand relations -o json
Find related PR via relations of type ArtifactLink containing pullrequest. If multiple → ask user which. Then proceed as PR id.
.diff / .patch path
Use file as-is. Parse changed files from diff headers (+++ b/...).
git ref
git diff "<ref>"...HEAD > "/tmp/review-diff-ref-$(date +%s).diff"
files=$(git diff --name-only "<ref>"...HEAD)
title="HEAD vs <ref>"
2. Diff size guard
n=$(wc -l < <(echo "$files"))
If n > 50 → warn user, ask: proceed full / filter to paths / abort.
3. Run pipeline
Read references/pipeline.md and execute Phases 1–4 with:
DIFF_FILE = path from step 1CHANGED_FILES = list from step 1TITLE / META = title + (PR description, author, targetRefName) when available
4. Save output
If .aiwork/ protocol present, follow it. Otherwise:
slug=$(echo "$title" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -cs 'a-z0-9' '-' | cut -c1-40)
mkdir -p ".aiwork/$(date +%F)_${slug}"
Save review markdown to .aiwork/{date}_{slug}/review.md. If a folder for this branch/ticket already exists, place it there.
Notes
- Read-only. Never posts PR comments. For comments use
pr-comments skill.
- Pipeline detail lives in
references/pipeline.md — load only when running review.
az repos pr requires the azure-devops az extension.
