About w-review
w-review is an agent skill for reviewing diffs, branches, pull requests, or working trees. It emphasizes read-only investigation, validating defects with evidence, and reporting findings by impact.
Key features
- 01Review scoped code changes
- 02Read tests and relevant documentation
- 03Delegate read-only investigation
- 04Validate suspected defects
- 05Rank findings with remedies
Use cases
- 01Review a pull request before merge
- 02Check changed behavior and failure paths
- 03Assess whether reported verification is supported

Details
From the project READMEUse the specified diff, branch, PR, or working tree and its intended behavior. Remain read-only unless fixes are also requested.
- Understand the trigger and expected result before judging the implementation. Read tests to learn which claims are actually exercised.
- Check the in-scope review dimensions, including docs/README when behavior changed. Spawn 2–3 read-only explorers that split those dimensions. Concentrate on changed behavior, callers, and failure paths. Skip dimensions that are out of scope and say so.
- Validate suspected defects with a concrete execution path, failing case, or source evidence. Do not invent timings or vulnerabilities from appearances.
- Challenge verification claims. Order findings by impact with file/line, trigger, consequence, and smallest useful remedy. An inspection is not proof that tests passed and is not approval to merge.
