description	Checkout a review issue's branch for IDE diff review

/review

Checkout a review-status issue's branch into the main worktree so the user can review all changes as staged diffs in their IDE.

CLI only (no direct viban.json access)

Input: $ARGUMENTS (optional: issue ID)

---

Output Rules

• Do NOT output any preamble. No "Your Task:", "I'll now...", "Let me...", or task summaries before starting work.
• Start executing Step 1 immediately and silently.

---

Step 1: Find Review Card

If $ARGUMENTS contains an issue ID, use it. Otherwise find the first review card:

viban list --status review

If no review cards exist, tell the user and exit.

Extract the issue ID. Store as $ID.

viban get $ID

Show the user a one-line summary: #ID [PRIORITY] Title.

---

Step 2: Prepare Branch

BRANCH="issue-$ID"
WT_DIR="$PWD/.viban/worktrees/$ID"

If worktree exists, detach it to free the branch:

[ -d "$WT_DIR" ] && git -C "$WT_DIR" checkout --detach 2>/dev/null

---

Step 3: Handle Dirty Working Tree

git status --porcelain

If dirty, ask user with AskUserQuestion:

• "You have uncommitted changes. How should we save them?"
• Options:
  • "Stash" → git stash push -m "viban-review: before #$ID"
  • "Temp commit" → git add -A && git commit -m "viban-review: temp commit before #$ID"

If clean, proceed directly.

---

Step 4: Detached Checkout and Reset

git checkout --detach "$BRANCH"
git reset --soft main

This checks out the branch's commit without moving the branch pointer. Now all changes appear as staged diffs in the IDE, and the $BRANCH ref stays intact.

---

Step 5: Report and Exit

PR_INFO=$(gh pr list --head "$BRANCH" --json number,url --jq '.[0]' 2>/dev/null)

Tell the user:

Reviewing #$ID — all changes are staged in your IDE.
{PR #N: <url> if PR exists}
Run /viban:approve $ID or /viban:reject $ID when ready.

Done. Do not wait for user input. The skill exits here.
