CodeRabbit Core Workflow A: Automated PR Review

Overview

The primary CodeRabbit workflow: a developer opens a PR, CodeRabbit automatically analyzes the diff, posts a walkthrough summary and line-level comments, and the developer addresses feedback. This skill covers configuration, review profiles, path instructions, and the full review lifecycle.

Prerequisites

• CodeRabbit GitHub App installed (see coderabbit-install-auth)
• .coderabbit.yaml in repository root
• At least one PR-capable branch
