What tools are required to use the review-prep skill?

This skill requires tmux and Neovim (nvim) to be installed on your system, as it uses them to create the interactive split-pane review environment.

How does it improve the review process?

It enforces a 'pithy' conversation style and focuses on one change at a time, preventing information overload and ensuring every modification is intentional.

What kind of 'code smells' does this skill identify?

It flags if a diff addresses too many problems at once (more than 2-3), if changes don't map to the stated goals, or if patterns are repeated without being extracted.

Can I use this for specific git commit ranges?

Yes, while it defaults to the last commit, it can accept a specific commit range as an argument to parse and walk through.

How does it handle navigation during a review?

You can use simple commands like 'next' to move to the next change, 'back' to revisit previous lines, or 'done' to finish the session.
