Does it support PRs targeting non-default branches?

Absolutely. It identifies the target base branch of your PR to ensure the diff analysis remains accurate for release backports or feature-to-feature PRs.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, this skill requires the gh CLI to be installed and authenticated to retrieve branch data and push updates to your PR.

Can it detect changes not mentioned in commit messages?

Yes, it performs systematic file analysis and diff reviews to identify changes even if your commit messages are brief or vague.

How does it categorize different types of code changes?

It uses a combination of standard commit prefixes (feat, fix, refactor) and framework-specific file patterns to group changes logically for reviewers.

Will it automatically overwrite my PR description?

No, the skill generates a summary for your review first and only updates the PR on GitHub after you provide explicit approval.
