Can it verify test coverage during a review?

Yes, the skill assesses test adequacy for changed functionality, focusing on contract verification, edge cases, and error paths.

What is the primary philosophy behind this PR assistant?

The skill follows the 'amplihack' principles: ruthless simplicity, modular 'Brick & Stud' architecture, and zero-BS implementations without stubs or TODOs.

Does this skill provide specific feedback for code changes?

Yes, it generates detailed, constructive review comments with specific file and line-number references to ensure feedback is actionable.

What is a 'Brick' module structure?

A 'Brick' is a self-contained module with one clear responsibility and a public contract (Stud) that allows it to be understood or regenerated independently.

How does it identify over-engineering?

It looks for patterns like excessive layering, premature optimization, generic frameworks for hypothetical needs, and unnecessary configuration complexity.

Collaboration Tools

Conducts philosophy-driven pull request reviews to eliminate over-engineering and ensure modular code quality.

About

The PR Review Assistant is a specialized skill for Claude Code that enforces the amplihack development philosophy during the code review process. It goes beyond standard linting to identify architectural issues like over-abstraction, future-proofing, and unnecessary complexity. By checking for 'Brick & Studs' modular design and a 'Zero-BS' implementation policy—where every line of code must be functional and justified—this skill provides developers with specific, line-referenced feedback that helps maintain a clean, maintainable, and high-quality codebase.
