The job
You have a pull request or code diff and need prioritized, evidence-linked feedback on correctness, quality, risk, and maintainability.

Consider Autoreview ↗
You have a GitHub PR number or URL and want PR context plus an explicit approval/request-changes conclusion.
It explicitly targets remote PRs, reads their context, and returns categorized findings with a clear conclusion.
Editorial confidence: highYou are reviewing the current editor session and want comments anchored to exact changed-code ranges without modifications.
Its declared output is inline, exact-range review comments and it prohibits writes.
Editorial confidence: highThe request expands into a full penetration test or unscoped repository audit.
Those scopes are excluded from this task.
Editorial confidence: highBefore you install
Install Autoreview; adapt Code Reviewer to the repository's verification command; use VS Code Code Review only where its inline-comment tool is available.
All three have explicit source-backed review workflows, but their setup assumptions differ.

ContextHighest-ranked directly applicable finalist (SkillsMP Popular rank 12). It explicitly supports reviewing local and PR branches, includes correctness/security review, and treats findings as advisory until verified.
OutputValidated structured review findings; a clean result is successful helper exit with no accepted/actionable findings.
ControlScope-governed closeout gate: verify findings against code and dependencies, keep fixes in scope, retest and rerun review after accepted changes.
