Review Triage Phase Agent Skill

Review Triage Phase

Run only the triage phase of the review-framework loop:

read current review state artifacts, bootstrap canonical review-actions.json, update triage fields, validate, then render review-actions.md.

Run commands from this skill directory. All script paths below are relative to it.

Inputs

• Required:
• PR URL
• Optional:
• output directory

If output directory is omitted, derive:

wip/reviews/<owner>_<repo>_pr-<number>/

Preconditions

Expected inputs in output dir:

• <output-dir>/review-state.json
• <output-dir>/review-targets.json (optional)
• <output-dir>/review-state.md (optional)
• <output-dir>/summary.txt (optional)

If review-state.json is missing, instruct user to run:

• /review-fetch-phase <PR_URL> [output-dir]

Note:

• review-actions.json scaffolding is generated from review-state.targets, which now includes unresolved review threads, review bodies, and issue comments.
• Compound review bodies: A single pull_request_review target may contain multiple distinct findings (e.g., CodeRabbit bundles "outside diff range" comments, actionable comments, and nitpicks into one review body). The triager must decompose these into individual action items during triage — never blanket-dismiss a review body without reading its content.

Behavior

• Compute deterministic paths:
• <output-dir>/review-state.json
• <output-dir>/review-actions.json
• <output-dir>/review-actions.md
• Enforce artifact safety before generation (must be ignored by git):

node ../review-fetch-phase/scripts/guard-review-artifacts-ignored.mjs --dir <output-dir>

• Bootstrap canonical action scaffold from review state:

node ./scripts/bootstrap-review-actions.mjs --in <output-dir>/review-state.json --out <output-dir>/review-actions.json

• Delegate triage to:
• ./agents/review-triager.md
• Require triager output contract:
• review-actions.json is valid v2
• targets use node IDs only
• actions remain intentionally ordered
• every defer action includes a Linear issue identifier
• will-address actions for review_thread targets must remain actionable via thread replies (not PR reviews)
• Create Linear tracking for deferred work:
• create one or more Linear tickets (group related deferred comments)
• attach each deferred action to a Linear issue ID (linearIssue)
• ensure the deferred thread reply includes that Linear ticket URL
• Validate canonical actions JSON and enforce completed triage decisions:

node ./scripts/validate-review-actions.mjs --in <output-dir>/review-actions.json --require-final

• Render markdown from canonical actions JSON:

node ./scripts/render-review-actions.mjs --in <output-dir>/review-actions.json --out <output-dir>/review-actions.md

Schema contract

• review-actions.json is canonical and must be schema version 2.
• No backward compatibility is provided for v1 artifacts.
• The triager edits scaffolded actions in place instead of reconstructing the entire file.
• Triage phase is only complete when there are zero triage_pending decisions.
• Review artifacts are generated files and must remain untracked in git.
• defer decisions require Linear tracking (linearIssue) and a thread reply with that link.

Output to user

Return artifact paths:

• review-actions.json
• review-actions.md
