Do I need the CodeRabbit CLI installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill acts as a wrapper for the CodeRabbit CLI. You must have it installed and authenticated on your local machine for the skill to function.

What happens if I hit CodeRabbit rate limits?

The skill includes built-in error handling for rate limits and will offer alternatives like waiting, reducing the changeset size, or performing a manual review.

How does Claude help with the findings?

Claude doesn't just show you the errors; it can enter an interactive loop to propose specific code changes, apply them to your files, and re-run the review to verify the fix.

Does it support different review types?

Yes, the skill defaults to checking all changes but can be configured to focus on specific diffs or branches as needed by the user.

Can this skill review code that hasn't been committed yet?

Yes, by default it reviews both uncommitted changes and recent local commits to give you a full picture of your current work.

Collaboration Tools

Performs automated local code reviews using CodeRabbit CLI to identify bugs and quality issues before commits.

About

The cr-local skill integrates the power of CodeRabbit's AI-driven analysis directly into your local development environment through Claude Code. It allows developers to scan uncommitted and committed changes for logic errors, security vulnerabilities, and code smells before pushing to a remote repository. The skill manages the entire review lifecycle, including prerequisite checks, execution of the CodeRabbit CLI, categorization of findings by severity, and an interactive loop that enables Claude to help apply fixes and verify them in real-time.
