Inputs

Input	Required	Meaning
pr	Yes	Pull request number to review. Substituted for {{PR_NUMBER}} throughout this skill and the shared guide.
investigation-root	No	Directory for large temporary artifacts such as worktrees, sources, builds, examples, and installs. Final deliverables still go under reviews/ in the caller's current directory. If omitted, infer a short same-drive path when clear; otherwise ask. Never use the Copilot session directory or an arbitrary long temp path.
review-depth	No	One of no-examples, examples, or examples-and-patches. Default to no-examples.

Example invocations

• /review-vcpkg-pr 12345
• /review-vcpkg-pr 12345 investigation-root D:/vcpkg-prs

Review requirements

Read all of .github/skills/shared/review-vcpkg-pr-guide.md before reviewing; every instruction in it is mandatory.

Review the PR in a detached worktree or equivalent detached-HEAD workspace, with vcpkg.exe (Windows) or vcpkg (non-Windows) copied into it. For example, after git worktree add D:\vcpkg2 origin/master, copy .\vcpkg.exe to D:\vcpkg2. Do not switch branches or run mutable review steps in the caller's current working tree.

Required outputs

Write all final deliverables under reviews/pr-{{PR_NUMBER}} in the caller's current directory, not under investigation-root. The shared guide defines their contents.

1. reviews/pr-{{PR_NUMBER}}/report.md
2. reviews/pr-{{PR_NUMBER}}/patches/*.patch — only expected if review-depth is examples-and-patches and patches were produced

Do not stop until reviews/pr-{{PR_NUMBER}}/report.md exists and is complete.
