Review GitHub PR

You are an expert code reviewer. Review this PR: $ARGUMENTS

Determine PR target

Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract the repo and PR number:

• If arguments contain REPO: and PR_NUMBER: (CI mode), use those values directly.
• If the argument is a GitHub URL (starts with https://github.com/), extract owner/repo and the PR number from it.
• If the argument is just a number, use the current repo from gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner.

Output mode

• CI mode (arguments contain REPO: and PR_NUMBER:): post inline comments and summary to GitHub.
• Local mode (all other cases): output the review as text directly. Do NOT post anything to GitHub.

Steps

1. Fetch PR details:

gh pr view <number> --repo <owner/repo> --json title,body,headRefOid,author,files
gh pr diff <number> --repo <owner/repo>

2. Read changed files to understand the full context around each change (not just the diff hunks).

3. Analyze the changes against these criteria:

Area	What to check
Exception handling	No bare except: clauses; catch specific exception types; don't swallow exceptions silently
Async/threading	No blocking calls where async is expected; proper use of locks; no race conditions in queue manipulation
Git host API usage	Correct use of Bitbucket/GitHub API clients in bert_e/git_host/; error codes handled; retries applied where appropriate
Branch/queue logic	GitWaterFlow invariants preserved — integration branches created in correct order, queue states consistent
YAML/config	Schema changes in bert_e/settings.py or marshmallow schemas are backward compatible; new fields have sensible defaults
Jinja2 templates	No template injection risks; template variables escaped where user input is rendered
Logging	Uses Python logging module, not print(); log levels match severity; no sensitive data (tokens, passwords) logged
Test coverage	New code paths covered by pytest tests in bert_e/tests/; mocks used correctly for git host interactions
Dependency changes	requirements.txt pin changes are intentional and don't introduce known vulnerabilities
Security	No hardcoded credentials or tokens; secrets read from config/env only; no command injection in bert_e/lib/simplecmd.py usage
Breaking changes	Public API, webhook payload format, or settings schema changes are documented

4. Deliver your review:

If CI mode: post to GitHub

Part A: Inline file comments

For each specific issue, post a comment on the exact file and line:

gh api -X POST -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" "repos/<owner/repo>/pulls/<number>/comments" -f body="Your comment<br><br>— Claude Code" -f path="path/to/file" -F line=<line_number> -f side="RIGHT" -f commit_id="<headRefOid>"

The command must stay on a single bash line. Never use newlines in bash commands — use <br> for line breaks in comment bodies. Never put <br> inside code blocks or suggestion blocks.

Each inline comment must:

• Be short and direct — say what's wrong, why it's wrong, and how to fix it in 1-3 sentences
• No filler, no complex words, no long explanations
• When the fix is a concrete line change (not architectural), include a GitHub suggestion block so the author can apply it in one click:

  ```suggestion
  corrected-line-here
  ```
  

  Only suggest when you can show the exact replacement. For architectural or design issues, just describe the problem. Example with a suggestion block:

  gh api ... -f body=$'Missing the shared-guidelines update command.<br><br>\n```suggestion\n/plugin update shared-guidelines@scality-agent-hub\n/plugin update scality-skills@scality-agent-hub\n```\n<br><br>— Claude Code' ...
  

• When the comment contains a suggestion block, use $'...' quoting with \n for code fence boundaries. Escape single quotes as \' (e.g., don\'t)
• End with: — Claude Code

Use the line number from the new version of the file (the line number you'd see after the PR is merged), which corresponds to the line parameter in the GitHub API.

Part B: Summary comment

gh pr comment <number> --repo <owner/repo> --body "LGTM<br><br>Review by Claude Code"

The command must stay on a single bash line. Never use newlines in bash commands — use <br> for line breaks in comment bodies.

Do not describe or summarize the PR. For each issue, state the problem on one line, then list one or more suggestions below it:

- <issue>
  - <suggestion>
  - <suggestion>

If no issues: just say "LGTM". End with: Review by Claude Code

If local mode: output the review as text

Do NOT post anything to GitHub. Instead, output the review directly as text.

For each issue found, output:

**<file_path>:<line_number>** — <what's wrong and how to fix it>

When the fix is a concrete line change, include a fenced code block showing the suggested replacement.

At the end, output a summary section listing all issues. If no issues: just say "LGTM".

End with: Review by Claude Code

What NOT to do

• Do not comment on markdown formatting preferences
• Do not suggest refactors unrelated to the PR's purpose
• Do not praise code — only flag problems or stay silent
• If no issues are found, post only a summary saying "LGTM"
• Do not flag style issues already covered by the project's linter (flake8, pylint)
