Posting Review Summary

When to Use

Invoke this skill ONCE per review, AFTER all inline comments are posted. The summary MUST be scannable and brief because engineers read summaries first.

Context Detection

Context How to Detect Action

FORBIDDEN: Do not use gh pr comment to create summary comments.

PR Metadata Assessment

If PR title, description, or test plan is genuinely deficient, add as ❓ finding in the Code Review Details collapsible section.

Rules

• DO NOT comment on minor improvements

• DO NOT comment on adequate-but-imperfect metadata

• NEVER add as an inline comment

• DO NOT exceed 3 lines of feedback on the PR Metadata Assessment

Examples

Genuinely deficient means:

• Title is literally "fix bug", "update", "changes", or single word

• Description is empty or just "See Jira"

• UI changes with zero screenshots

• No test plan AND changes are testable

Adequate (DO NOT flag):

• Title describes the change even if imperfect: "Fix login issue for SSO users"

• Description exists and explains the change, even briefly

• Test plan references Jira task with testing details

Format

• ❓ QUESTION: PR title could be more specific
  • Suggested: "Fix null check in UserService.getProfile"

Summary Format
