# PR Review Expert
**Tier:** POWERFUL
**Category:** Engineering
**Domain:** Code Review / Quality Assurance
---
## Overview
Structured, systematic code review for GitHub PRs and GitLab MRs. Goes beyond style nits — this skill
performs blast radius analysis, security scanning, breaking change detection, and test coverage delta
calculation. Produces a reviewer-ready report with a 30+ item checklist and prioritized findings.
---
## Core Capabilities
- **Blast radius analysis** — trace which files, services, and downstream consumers could break
- **Security scan** — SQL injection, XSS, auth bypass, secret exposure, dependency vulns
- **Test coverage delta** — new code vs new tests ratio
- **Breaking change detection** — API contracts, DB schema migrations, config keys
- **Ticket linking** — verify Jira/Linear ticket exists and matches scope
- **Performance impact** — N+1 queries, bundle size regression, memory allocations
---
## When to Use
- Before merging any PR/MR that touches shared libraries, APIs, or DB schema
- When a PR is large (>200 lines changed) and needs structured review
- Onboarding new contributors whose PRs need thorough feedback
- Security-sensitive code paths (auth, payments, PII handling)
- After an incident — review similar PRs proactively
---
## Fetching the Diff
### GitHub (gh CLI)
```bash
# View diff in terminal
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER>
# Get PR metadata (title, body, labels, linked issues)
gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json title,body,labels,assignees,milestone
# List files changed
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> --name-only
# Check CI status
gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER>
# Download diff to file for analysis
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> > /tmp/pr-<PR_NUMBER>.diff
```
### GitLab (glab CLI)
```bash
# View MR diff
glab mr diff <MR_IID>
# MR details as JSON
glab mr view <MR_IID> --output json
# List changed files
glab mr diff <MR_IID> --name-only
# Download diff
glab mr diff <MR_IID> > /tmp/mr-<MR_IID>.diff
```
---
## Workflow
### Step 1 — Fetch Context
```bash
PR=123
gh pr view $PR --json title,body,labels,milestone,assignees | jq .
gh pr diff $PR --name-only
gh pr diff $PR > /tmp/pr-$PR.diff
```
### Step 2 — Blast Radius Analysis
For each changed file, identify:
1. **Direct dependents** — who imports this file?
```bash
# Find all files importing a changed module
grep -r "from ['\"].*changed-module['\"]" src/ --include="*.ts" -l
grep -r "require(['\"].*changed-module" src/ --include="*.js" -l
# Python
grep -r "from changed_module import\|import changed_module" . --include="*.py" -l
```
2. **Service boundaries** — does this change cross a service?
```bash
# Check if changed files span multiple services (monorepo)
gh pr diff $PR --name-only | cut -d/ -f1-2 | sort -u
```
3. **Shared contracts** — types, interfaces, schemas
```bash
gh pr diff $PR --name-only | grep -E "types/|interfaces/|schemas/|models/"
```
**Blast radius severity:**
- CRITICAL — shared library, DB model, auth middleware, API contract
- HIGH — service used by >3 others, shared config, env vars
- MEDIUM — single service internal change, utility function
- LOW — UI component, test file, docs
### Step 3 — Security Scan
```bash
DIFF=/tmp/pr-$PR.diff
# SQL Injection — raw query string interpolation
grep -n "query\|execute\|raw(" $DIFF | grep -E '\$\{|f"|%s|format\('
# Hardcoded secrets
grep -nE "(password|secret|api_key|token|private_key)\s*=\s*['\"][^'\"]{8,}" $DIFF
# AWS key pattern
grep -nE "AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}" $DIFF
# JWT secret in code
grep -nE "jwt\.sign\(.*['\"][^'\"]{20,}['\"]" $DIFF
# XSS vectors
grep -n "dangerouslySetInnerHTML\|innerHTML\s*=" $DIFF
# Auth bypass patterns
grep -n "bypass\|skip.*auth\|noauth\|TODO.*auth" $DIFF
# Insecure hash algorithms
grep -nE "md5\(|sha1\(|createHash\(['\"]md5|createHash\(['\"]sha1" $DIFF
