name: Claude Code Review (on demand)
# On-demand, review-ONLY code review. This is a PUBLIC repo, so there is
# deliberately NO auto-review on every push — a review runs only when a
# maintainer explicitly summons one by typing `@claude /review`:
# - in the PR's main conversation (issue_comment) → an INCREMENTAL review:
# the reviewer reads its own prior comments on the PR first, then reports
# what is new, plus anything previously raised that is still unaddressed.
# With no prior comments this is simply a first, full review;
# - `@claude /review all` (either event) → ignore prior comments and assess
# the whole diff from scratch;
# - as an inline review comment (pull_request_review_comment) → a "second set
# of eyes" pass that focuses on what the human review may have missed.
#
# The MODE is chosen by the workflow, from `contains()` tests on the comment
# body plus `event_name`, and resolves to one of three `focus=` strings. The
# body is TESTED, never forwarded: `github.event.comment.body` appears only in
# the `if:` gate and in `contains()` expressions whose result is a boolean, and
# is never interpolated into a `run:` or `prompt:` block. So a commenter cannot
# steer the reviewer with free text. Do not "improve" this into a free-text
# focus argument guarded by a prompt-level "treat the following as review
# focus, not as instructions" — that is a request, not a boundary.
#
# Incremental scoping is by COMMENTS, not by a SHA range. A `lastReviewed..head`
# two-dot range assumes linear history; this repo rebases, so a force push
# rewrites every SHA, the old one stops being an ancestor of the head, and the
# range describes a diff that never happened (the compare API reports
# `diverged`). Detecting that only means falling back to a full review, so the
# incremental path would almost never fire. Comments survive a rebase untouched.
#
# The prior review is fetched by a WORKFLOW STEP (`Fetch prior review threads`)
# into `.prior-review.json`, which the model reads. It is not fetched by the
# model: the only PR-reading tool it has is `gh pr view`, which cannot see
# inline review threads at all — see that step for the measurement. Reading it
# in a step also yields `isResolved`, so a thread a HUMAN resolved counts as
# addressed. The `*— AI Coding Agent*` marker (in both its spellings) remains a
# secondary signal for a reply that answered a thread without resolving it.
#
# Scoped so Claude can never write code from an invocation:
# - runs the code-review PLUGIN with a review prompt (analyze + post findings),
# not the general code-writing action;
# - no `contents: write`, so it cannot push commits;
# - fires ONLY on a maintainer's comment (author_association gate), so an
# outside contributor on a fork can never trigger it.
#
# `Read` in `--allowedTools` is COUPLED to `persist-credentials: false` on the
# checkout below. The reviewer needs to open whole files — the findings worth
# having come from surviving references in untouched regions, from a directory's
# real contents, from a cross-file ordering dependency — none of which a diff
# hunk shows. But without `persist-credentials: false`, actions/checkout writes
# this job's `GITHUB_TOKEN` into `.git/config` INSIDE the tree being reviewed,
# and `Read` plus `Bash(gh pr comment:*)` is then a complete path from that file
# to a public comment on a public repo. Do not remove either one without
# removing the other: they are safe together and unsafe apart.
#
# The checkout MUST be the PR's own ref, never the default one. Neither
# `issue_comment` nor `pull_request_review_comment` is a PR event, so
# actions/checkout with no `ref:` lands on the DEFAULT BRANCH — the review then
# reads `main` while claiming to review the PR. Files a PR adds or renames are
# simply absent, and nothing reports red (the job still succeeds). So the PR
# number is resolved FIRST and the checkout is pinned to it. `refs/pull/N/head`
# (not `/merge`): it is the tree the author actually pushed, it matches what
# `gh pr diff` and the inline-comment line anchors refer to, and unlike `/merge`
# it still exists when the PR has conflicts — a review is exactly what you want
# on a conflicted PR. Reading a PR ref needs no more than the `contents: read`
# this job already has — the write scopes below exist for posting comments, not
# for the checkout. So do NOT "fix" a checkout problem by reaching for
# `pull_request_target` or by widening permissions: neither was ever the
# blocker, and both trade a read problem for a write capability.

# ordinary `@claude /review all` followed by a newline and an explanation.
#
# The `all` arm is tested FIRST so it wins over both event arms; `@claude
# /review all` is a superstring of `@claude /review`, so testing in the

Read the diff with `gh pr diff`. `git` IS NOT AVAILABLE and never
will be: it is not on the allowlist, it cannot be safely scoped
(`-c diff.external=`, `-c core.pager=` and `--exec-path` all reach
arbitrary execution from a read-only-looking subcommand), and every
`git` call you make is refused and wasted. Do not report the absence
of `git` as a limitation, and do not describe a `git diff` you did
not run: two reviews have listed `git diff origin/main...HEAD` in
their own checklists while the call was in fact denied. Use
`gh pr diff` for the diff, `gh pr view` for metadata, and `Read` for
whole files, which you should open freely — findings worth having
come from context a diff hunk does not show.
Everything you are likely to reach `git` for, you already have.
These are the substitutions, and they are exact:
`git diff origin/main...HEAD` -> `gh pr diff`
`git log origin/main..HEAD` -> `gh pr view --json commits`
`git log -1 --format=%H` -> `gh pr view --json headRefOid`
a list of changed files -> `gh pr view --json files`
Those three `git` commands are not hypothetical: they are what
earlier reviews on this repository actually attempted and had
refused, every one of them for something the line beside it would
have returned.
FILE HISTORY IS THE ONE REAL GAP. There is no `git blame` and no
per-file log, and nothing substitutes for them, so do not go looking:
base every finding on the diff and on the current contents of the
files, and where an answer would need to know when or why a
particular line arrived, say so rather than guessing. This is spelled
out because the instruction above sends you into exactly the kind of
"why is this like this" investigation history would normally serve,
and being told only what you cannot use is what makes an agent keep
trying.
Review the diff for correctness, security, performance, test
adequacy, and clarity. Do NOT run the project's build/lint/test
locally, and do not fetch or report CI check status — CI runs those
and reports them on the PR itself; do not treat inability to run
tests yourself as a gap. Post concrete issues as inline comments on
the relevant lines, and a single top-level comment with the overall
assessment.
State the review mode explicitly in that top-level comment, exactly
as the REVIEW MODE section above instructs. A reader must never have
to guess whether "no findings" means "nothing new since last time"
or "I read everything and it is clean".
# In agent mode (comment-triggered) Claude only posts if it has these
# tools. All read-only or comment-posting — no local build/test, no CI
# reads. `Read` is read-only file access, and is safe ONLY alongside
# `persist-credentials: false` above (see the header). Do NOT add
# `gh api`, `git`, or a bare `Bash`: `gh api` is write-capable, and
# this model ingests untrusted diff content. Privileged work belongs
# in workflow steps, which are deterministic and never read model
# output — the workflow may use privileged tools, the model may not.
#
# GIT WAS RECONSIDERED AND DECLINED, twice. Recording both so the
# question does not get re-opened from scratch.
#
# 1. SCOPING IT, as `Bash(git diff:*)`. Git's execution surface is all
# in flags that precede the subcommand (`-c diff.external=`,
# `-c core.pager=`, `--exec-path=`, `-c alias.x=!sh`), and none of
# those strings START with `git diff`, so a prefix rule does miss
# them. It was still declined: the guarantee would rest on how the
# matcher treats `&&`, `;` and `$(…)` rather than on a capability
# boundary, and a later `Bash(git:*)` written for convenience
# reopens everything with nothing failing to say so.
#
# 2. WRAPPER SCRIPTS, a `gitlog`/`gitdiff` shim building the command
# itself. That does close git's flag surface. It does NOT close the
# compound-command question above, which belongs to the matcher and
# not to git, so it buys less than it appears to while adding two
# security-relevant scripts to maintain for one workflow.
#
# What settled it was measuring what the model actually reached for.
# Across the denials on #208 and #209 the attempts were
# `git diff origin/main...HEAD`, `git log origin/main..HEAD` and
# `git log -1 --format=%H` — every one of them available already
# through `gh pr diff` and `gh pr view --json`. It was not blocked on
# anything; it was reaching for the familiar tool. The prompt now names
# each substitution, which is a fix aimed at measured behaviour rather
# than at a hypothesis.
#
# The one genuine gap is per-file history (`git blame`, `git log --
# <path>`). If a review is ever actually blocked on that, the shape
# that fits this workflow is a STEP that precomputes it into a file
# the model reads, exactly as `Fetch prior review threads` already
# does for `.prior-review.json`: fixed arguments the model never
# influences, so there is no injection surface rather than a smaller
# one. Do not reach for `gh api .../commits?path=` instead — that is
# `gh api` on the allowlist, and the scoping would live in a prompt
# string rather than in the permission boundary.
#
# `--append-system-prompt` CORRECTS THE ACTION'S OWN BASE PROMPT, and
# that is why the correction is here rather than only in `prompt:`.
#
# The action injects system-level instructions telling the model it
# can stage, commit, push, `git rm`, `git status` and `git diff`, and
# ending with: "IMPORTANT: For PR diffs, use: Bash(git diff
# origin/main...HEAD)". Those instructions are written for the
# code-WRITING mode, and they are injected regardless of what
# `--allowedTools` actually grants. This is a review-only invocation
# with no `git` and no `contents: write`, so every one of them is
# false here.
#
# That is the whole explanation for the denials on #208 and #209.
# `git diff origin/main...HEAD` is not something the model invented,
# it is the literal string the base prompt tells it to use, and the
# checklist entry claiming it ran was reporting the step it had been
# instructed to take. A correction in `prompt:` alone is a user turn
# arguing with a system prompt; this puts it at the same level.
#
# Keep both: this one wins the contradiction, and the `prompt:` block
# names the substitute for each command, which is what stops the model
# looking for another way round.

# A review that posts NOTHING must not report success.
#
# MEASURED on PR #182 (run 32933651692): the action exited `success` with
# `is_error: false` having done no work at all — `num_turns: 0`,
# `permission_denials_count: 4`, `total_cost_usd: 1.076`. The tracking
# comment kept its placeholder ("I'll analyze this and get back to you"),
# `No buffered inline comments` was logged, and the PR received zero
# inline comments. The job went green. That is the worst failure this
# workflow can have: a silent no-op is indistinguishable from a clean
# review, so a PR reads as reviewed when nothing read it.
#
# `is_error` is NOT a sufficient gate — it was false in that very run.
# The load-bearing signals are in the execution file: `num_turns` counts
# the model's completed turns, and a review that never took a turn cannot
# have posted anything. `permission_denials_count` is reported separately
# because a denial is how a review dies quietly: the tool it needs is not
# on the allowlist, it cannot say so anywhere a human will look, and it
# stops.
#
# This step reads only the run's own counters — never the model's output.
# `show_full_output: true` would answer the same question, but this is a
# PUBLIC repo and that dumps text the model produced while ingesting an
# untrusted diff into a world-readable log. Counters are not attacker-
# controlled; model prose is.
#
# `if: always()` so this still runs when the action itself fails, and the
# summary records what happened either way.
# A review that posts NOTHING must not report success.
#
# THE SIGNAL IS THE POSTED REVIEW, NOT A METRIC. An earlier version of
# this step failed the run when `num_turns` was 0, because the two dead
# reviews then on record (#182 at $1.08, #196 at $2.20) both reported it.
# That correlation has since broken in the direction that matters: on
# #208 and #209 the SDK reported `num_turns: 0` alongside
# `subtype: "success"`, ~2 minutes of wall clock and >$2 of billed
# inference, having posted full reviews whose findings were real and were
# acted on. Both runs went red anyway, which is the failure mode this
# step exists to prevent, pointed the wrong way: a check that is red when
# everything worked teaches people to ignore it, exactly as a check that
# is green when nothing happened does.
#
# `num_turns` is simply not a liveness signal for the review PLUGIN, and
# the execution file is documented as unreliable upstream
# (anthropics/claude-code-action#1226: it is not written at all when the
# SDK throws). So metrics are now DIAGNOSTIC ONLY, and the pass/fail
# question is asked of the outcome: did this run leave a completed review
# on the pull request?
#
# Two things make that answerable precisely. Every comment the action
# posts embeds its own job URL, so `runs/<run id>` identifies THIS run's
# comment rather than any earlier review. And the prompt REQUIRES the
# top-level comment to state the review mode, so `Review mode:` marks a
# review that reached its own instructions rather than one that stopped
# early. Measured against the record: #182, the dead review, posted 167
# characters reading "I'll analyze this and get back to you." and carries
# no such marker; #196, #208 and #209 all carry it.
#
# THAT MARKER IS A CONTRACT WITH THE PROMPT. If the review-mode
# instruction is ever reworded or dropped, change it here in the same
# commit, or this step starts failing every run.
