How does this skill handle GitHub authentication?

It uses a Python wrapper script that interacts with the GitHub CLI, leveraging your existing local authentication and environment settings.

Does it post comments immediately as Claude thinks of them?

No, it follows a batched approach where comments are staged in a JSON file and posted as a single cohesive review to minimize developer notification noise.

Can Claude see the entire codebase during the review process?

Yes, the skill includes a checkout command that creates a temporary worktree, allowing Claude to navigate the full repository while reviewing the specific PR branch.

Why does the skill prefix comments with [AUTOMATED]?

This is a safety and transparency feature to clearly distinguish AI-generated suggestions from human feedback when posting via the GitHub API.

What happens if I disagree with the AI's review?

The skill includes logic for handling disagreements, encouraging Claude to consider the author's perspective or escalate to a technical lead if consensus isn't reached.
