Prepare PRs for review by cleaning noisy history, improving PR descriptions, and adding reviewer guidance without changing code behavior. Use for "make this easy to review", "tidy this PR", "clean up commits", or "annotate the diff".

AI-generated overview

Prepares a pull request for review by cleaning commit history and adding reviewer guidance without changing code behavior.

What it does
This skill inspects a target pull request's commits, diff size, changed paths, generated files, and description to find reviewability problems such as noisy commits, stale descriptions, unrelated changes, or missing tests. It proposes a plan before rewriting history or force-pushing, then applies safe improvements and verifies the tree or diff still matches the intended code. It also produces reviewer guidance such as a TL;DR, separation of core and mechanical files, and notes on risky changes, migration order, rollout, and test coverage.
When to use it
Use it when a pull request needs to be made easier to review, such as tidying a PR, cleaning up commits, or annotating a diff. It is intended for situations where the goal is reviewability without behavior changes.
Requirements
Requires git and the GitHub CLI (gh) for inspecting and rewriting pull request history. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.

Make PR Easy to Review

Prepare a PR so a reviewer can quickly understand the intent, important files, and risk. The default goal is reviewability without behavior changes.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the target PR from the user-provided URL or current branch.
  2. Inspect commits, diff size, changed paths, generated files, and PR description.
  3. Identify reviewability issues: noisy commits, stale description, unrelated changes, mixed mechanical and logic changes, missing tests, or unclear reviewer entry points.
  4. Propose a plan before rewriting history or force-pushing.
  5. Apply safe improvements, then verify the tree or diff still matches the intended code.

History Cleanup

Only rewrite history when the user asks for it or agrees to the plan. Before rewriting:

bash
gh pr view <PR> --json title,headRefName,baseRefName,state,commitsgit fetch origin <headRefName> <baseRefName>ORIGINAL_TREE=$(git rev-parse origin/<headRefName>^{tree})

Good commit groupings usually follow dependency order:

  1. Schema/storage or generated API definitions.
  2. Core logic.
  3. Wiring and integration.
  4. UI or surface behavior.
  5. Tests.

After rewriting, verify content identity:

bash
echo "Original tree: $ORIGINAL_TREE"echo "Current tree:  $(git rev-parse HEAD^{tree})"git diff origin/<headRefName> --stat

Do not push if the tree changed unintentionally.

Reviewer Guidance

When code behavior should stay untouched, prefer PR description and review notes:

  • Add a TL;DR that matches the actual diff.
  • Separate core files from generated or mechanical files.
  • Call out risky behavior changes, migration order, rollout plan, and test coverage.
  • Link issue trackers, dashboards, or design docs when they explain intent.

Guardrails

  • Never hide meaningful behavior changes inside "cleanup".
  • Do not bypass hooks unless the user explicitly asks.
  • If the PR is too large to make reviewable with notes, recommend splitting instead of polishing around the problem.
