What this skill does


# Posting Review Summary

## Context Detection

Check contexts **in this order** — use the first match:

| Context                   | How to Detect                                                                                    | Action                                            |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Agent Mode**            | Sticky comment context provided in prompt (comment ID + `<!-- bitwarden-code-review -->` marker) | Write summary to `/tmp/review-summary.md`         |
| GitHub Actions (tag mode) | `mcp__github_comment__update_claude_comment` available AND no sticky comment context             | Update sticky comment via MCP tool                |
| Local review              | Neither agent mode context nor MCP tool available                                                | Write to `review-summary.md` in working directory |

**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 a 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

```markdown
- ❓ **QUESTION**: PR title could be more specific
  - Suggested: "Fix null check in UserService.getProfile"
```

## Summary Format

```markdown
## 🤖 Bitwarden Claude Code Review

**Overall Assessment:** APPROVE / REQUEST CHANGES

[Up to 4 neutral sentences describing what was reviewed]

<details>
<summary>Code Review Details</summary>

[Findings grouped by severity - see ordering below]

[Optional PR Metadata Assessment - only for truly deficient metadata]

</details>
```

## Dependency Changes Table

When the PR diff includes dependency manifest file changes, add a **Dependency Changes** subsection inside the `<details>` block, after the findings list and before the optional PR Metadata Assessment.

**Only render this table when there are meaningful version changes** — not for lock file-only churn with no manifest changes.

```markdown
### Dependency Changes

| Package           | Change                | Ecosystem |
| ----------------- | --------------------- | --------- |
| `@foo/bar`        | New (1.2.0)           | npm       |
| `lodash`          | 3.x → 4.x (**major**) | npm       |
| `Newtonsoft.Json` | 13.0.1 → 13.0.3       | NuGet     |
| `old-package`     | Removed               | npm       |
```

**Bold** the word "major" for major version bumps. Mark new additions as "New (version)" and removals as "Removed".

## Findings in Details Section

**Ordering:** Group findings by severity in this exact order:

1. ❌ : CRITICAL
2. ⚠️ : IMPORTANT
3. ♻️ : DEBT
4. 🎨 : SUGGESTED
5. ❓ : QUESTION

**Omit empty categories entirely.**

**Format per finding:**

```markdown
- [emoji]: [One-line description]
  - `filename.ts:42`
```

**Example:**

```markdown
<details>
<summary>Code Review Details</summary>

- ❌ : SQL injection in user query builder
  - `src/auth/queries.ts:87`
- ⚠️ : Missing null check on optional config
  - `src/config/loader.ts:23`

</details>
```

## Output Execution

### Agent Mode (Sticky Comment)

When sticky comment context is provided in the prompt (comment ID + marker):

1. Write the summary to `/tmp/review-summary.md` using the **Write** tool
2. Append `\n\n<!-- bitwarden-code-review -->` at the end of the file content
3. Do **NOT** use `mcp__github_comment__update_claude_comment`
4. Do **NOT** use `gh pr comment` or `gh api`

The workflow post-step will read this file and update the placeholder comment automatically.

### GitHub Actions (Tag Mode)

```
Use mcp__github_comment__update_claude_comment to update the sticky comment with the summary.
```

### Local

```
Write summary to review-summary.md in working directory.
```
