Multi-Agent PR Review

Parse the PR number and repo from the user's input. If not provided, try to infer from the current git context:

# Get current repo
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q '.nameWithOwner'

# If user provides a PR URL, extract the number
# If user just says "review this PR", check for current branch PR
gh pr view --json number -q '.number'

Step 2: Fetch PR Diff and Context

IMPORTANT: Always save files to the current working directory (e.g. ./pr_diff.patch), never to /tmp/ or other directories outside the repo. In CI, only the repo working directory is accessible.

# Save the diff to current working directory (NOT /tmp/)
gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> --repo <OWNER/REPO> > ./pr_diff.patch

# Get PR metadata
gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --repo <OWNER/REPO> --json title,body,files,headRefOid

# Fetch existing comments to avoid duplicates
gh api repos/<OWNER/REPO>/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/comments --paginate
gh api repos/<OWNER/REPO>/issues/<PR_NUMBER>/comments --paginate

Save the diff content and existing comments for use in the review.

Step 3: Spawn Review Agents in Parallel

Use the Task tool to spawn 3 sub-agents in parallel (all in a single message with multiple Task tool calls). Each agent should be a general-purpose subagent.

File Ordering: Before spawning, create 3 different orderings of the changed files (randomize/shuffle the order). Each agent gets the files in a different order to reduce ordering bias (reviewers tend to focus more on files they see first).

IMPORTANT: Each agent's prompt must include:

1. Their role description (from the corresponding file in references/)
2. The full PR diff content (inline, NOT a file path - agents cannot read files from the parent's context)
3. The list of existing PR comments (so they can avoid flagging already-commented issues)
4. Instructions to output findings as structured JSON

Agent Prompt Template

For each agent, the prompt should follow this structure:

You are a code reviewer with this specialization:

<role>
[Contents of references/<role>.md - e.g., correctness-reviewer.md]
</role>

You are reviewing PR #<NUMBER> in <REPO>: "<PR TITLE>"

<pr_description>
[PR body/description]
</pr_description>

Here is the diff to review (files presented in a specific order for this review):

<diff>
[Full diff content - with files in THIS agent's randomized order]
</diff>

Here are existing PR comments (do NOT flag issues already commented on):

<existing_comments>
[Existing comment data as JSON]
</existing_comments>

## Instructions

1. Read your role description carefully and review the diff from your expert perspective.
2. For each issue you find, classify it as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW severity using the guidelines in your role description.
3. Output your findings as a JSON array with this schema:

```json
[
  {
    "file": "path/to/file.ts",
    "line_start": 42,
    "line_end": 45,
    "severity": "MEDIUM",
    "category": "category-name",
    "title": "Brief title",
    "description": "Clear description of the issue and its impact",
    "suggestion": "How to fix (optional)"
  }
]
```

Severity levels:
- HIGH: Security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, crashes, broken functionality, UX blockers
- MEDIUM: Logic errors, edge cases, performance issues, sloppy code that hurts maintainability, UX issues that degrade the experience
- LOW: Minor style issues, nitpicks, minor polish improvements

Be thorough but focused. Only flag real issues, not nitpicks disguised as higher severity issues.

IMPORTANT: Cross-reference infrastructure changes (DB migrations, new tables/columns, API endpoints, config entries) against actual usage in the diff. If a migration creates a table but no code in the PR reads from or writes to it, that's dead infrastructure and should be flagged.

Output ONLY the JSON array, no other text.

Step 4: Collect and Parse Results

Wait for all 3 agents to complete. Parse the JSON array from each agent's response.

Step 5: Validate Issues with Reasoned Analysis

Do NOT use simple consensus voting (e.g., "2+ agents agree"). Instead, perform reasoned validation:

For each unique issue found (group similar issues by file + approximate line range):

1. Evaluate validity: Is this a real issue or a false positive? Consider:

   • Does the code actually have this problem?
   • Is the reviewer misunderstanding the code's purpose?
   • Is this issue already handled elsewhere in the codebase?

2. Evaluate severity: Is the severity rating correct? Consider:

   • What's the actual user/system impact?
   • Is this being over- or under-rated?

3. Make a decision:

   • CONFIRMED: Issue is valid and severity is appropriate
   • CONFIRMED (adjusted): Issue is valid but severity should be changed
   • DROPPED: Issue is a false positive, explain why

Track dropped issues with reasoning for the summary comment.

Step 6: Determine Merge Verdict

Based on the confirmed issues, determine the verdict:

• :white_check_mark: YES - Ready to merge: No HIGH issues, at most minor MEDIUM issues that are judgment calls
• :thinking: NOT SURE - Potential issues: Has MEDIUM issues that should probably be addressed, but none are clear blockers
• :no_entry: NO - Do NOT merge: Has HIGH severity issues or multiple serious MEDIUM issues that NEED to be fixed

Step 7: Deduplicate Against Existing Comments

Before posting, filter out issues that match existing PR comments:

• Same file path
• Same or nearby line number (within 3 lines)
• Similar keywords in the issue title appear in the existing comment body

Step 8: Post GitHub Comments

Summary Comment

Post a summary comment on the PR using gh pr comment:

## :mag: Dyadbot Code Review Summary

**Verdict: [VERDICT EMOJI + TEXT]**

Reviewed by 3 independent agents: Correctness Expert, Code Health Expert, UX Wizard.

### Issues Summary

| Severity               | File                  | Issue                  |
| ---------------------- | --------------------- | ---------------------- |
| :red_circle: HIGH      | `src/auth.ts:45`      | SQL injection in login |
| :yellow_circle: MEDIUM | `src/ui/modal.tsx:12` | Missing loading state  |

<details>
<summary>:green_circle: Low Priority Notes (X items)</summary>

- **Minor naming inconsistency** - `src/helpers.ts:23`
- **Could add hover state** - `src/button.tsx:15`

</details>

<details>
<summary>:no_entry_sign: Dropped False Positives (X items)</summary>

- **~~Potential race condition~~** - Dropped: State is only accessed synchronously in this context
- **~~Missing null check~~** - Dropped: Value is guaranteed non-null by the caller's validation

</details>

Inline Comments

For each HIGH and MEDIUM issue, post an inline review comment at the relevant line using gh api:

# Post a review with inline comments
gh api repos/<OWNER/REPO>/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/reviews \
  -X POST \
  --input payload.json

Where payload.json contains:

{
  "commit_id": "<HEAD_SHA from PR metadata>",
  "body": "Multi-agent review: X issue(s) found",
  "event": "COMMENT",
  "comments": [
    {
      "path": "src/auth.ts",
      "line": 45,
      "body": "**:red_circle: HIGH** | security\n\n**SQL injection in login**\n\nDescription of the issue...\n\n:bulb: **Suggestion:** Use parameterized queries"
    }
  ]
}

Severity Guidelines

Across all reviewers:

• HIGH: Security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, crashes, broken functionality, race conditions, UX blockers
• MEDIUM: Logic errors, unhandled edge cases, performance issues, sloppy code that hurts maintainability, poor error messages, missing loading/empty states, accessibility gaps
• LOW: Minor style issues, naming nitpicks, optional polish improvements

Philosophy: Sloppy code that hurts maintainability is MEDIUM, not LOW. We care about code health.
