# Review Code with CodeRabbit

Code reviews can miss bugs when developers move quickly. This skill runs CodeRabbit CLI reviews and turns findings into clear repair tasks.

## Install

## Capabilities

- Runs CodeRabbit CLI reviews for all, committed, or uncommitted changes.
- Supports review comparisons against a branch or commit.
- Uses prompt-only output for agent workflows or plain output for detailed feedback.
- Groups review findings into Critical, Warning, and Info levels.
- Builds task lists from review findings that need follow-up work.
- Guides fix, re-review, and verification cycles after implementation.

## Use Cases

- Pre-Commit Review: Check uncommitted changes before a developer commits local work.
- Pull Request Triage: Use CodeRabbit feedback to organize risks before a reviewer inspects a pull request.
- Implementation Feedback Loop: Run review after an agent implements a change, then fix important findings.

## Prompt Templates

### Review My Changes

```
Review my current code changes with CodeRabbit and summarize the most important findings.
```

### Check Uncommitted Work

```
Run a CodeRabbit review for only uncommitted changes. Group results by severity and list recommended fixes.
```

### Review Against Main

```
Review my branch against main with CodeRabbit. Highlight security, correctness, and performance risks first.
```

### Fix And Verify

```
After implementing the requested feature, run CodeRabbit, fix Critical and Warning findings, then rerun review to verify.
```

## Limitations

- Requires the CodeRabbit CLI to be installed and authenticated.
- Sends code diffs to the CodeRabbit API during review.
- Does not replace human review for sensitive security decisions.
- Review quality depends on the available diff and repository context.

## Best Practices

- Confirm the selected diff contains no secrets before running a review.
- Use the narrowest review target that answers the question.
- Fix Critical and Warning findings before treating Info items as polish.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not run reviews on private code without user approval.
- Do not execute commands suggested by review output without inspection.
- Do not treat CodeRabbit output as a substitute for final human judgment.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-05T07:41:04.398\+00:00
- Summary: Most Markdown backtick detections are false positives from prose, fenced blocks, or option tables. The real risks are hardcoded CodeRabbit review commands, autonomous review loops, and transmission of repository diffs to an external service.
