description

Use when the user asks a free-text question about a convention without a concrete file path ("how do I write a command handler here?", "what's the logging policy?"). The agent needs knowledge retrieval, not a review verdict. Skip when a file path is already known (use autoreview:context); skip when the user actually wants a pass/fail verdict on existing code (use autoreview:review); skip when no `.autoreview/` exists — use autoreview:setup first.

AutoReview Guide

Cross-platform. Snippets below use bash-style env-var syntax (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}). Claude Code's Bash tool runs Git Bash on Windows so these work as-is; on native PowerShell substitute $env:CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, on cmd use %CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT%. Plugin requires Node ≥22 — only assumed binary.

Token-based search over rule name / description / body. Returns up to 5 ranked rules with their read: paths. Zero LLM cost.

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bin/guide.mjs '<free-text query>'

Output: top 5 matching rules with a one-line "why relevant" plus read: paths. Read them, then answer the user's question citing the rule ids.

Rules are listed using effective frontmatter (post-overlay) — remote rule overrides from remote_rules[].overrides are already merged in. What you see is what the reviewer enforces.

For a known file path, use autoreview:context instead — it filters by trigger (more precise than text similarity).

If output is "no relevant rules found", invoke autoreview:create-rule to author one.
