Arness Reviewing PR

Validate PR review comments, categorize findings, and fix or defer issues. This is a first-citizen entry point that wraps `arn-code-review-pr` and provides chaining context back to `arn-implementing` if fixes are needed.

This skill is a **thin orchestration wrapper**. It MUST NOT duplicate `arn-code-review-pr` logic. All review work is done by the invoked skill. Arness-reviewing-pr handles: prerequisite checks, input routing, invoking the review skill, and offering the chain exit.

Step 0: Ensure Configuration

Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-code-ensure-config/references/step-0-fast-path.md` and follow its instructions. This guarantees a user profile exists and `## Arness` is configured with Arness Code fields before proceeding.

After Step 0 completes, extract the following from `## Arness`:

  • **Platform** — determines if PR operations are available (`github`, `bitbucket`, or `none`)

If Platform is `none`: inform the user that no platform is configured and suggest running `/arn-reviewing-pr` again after configuring a platform. Do not proceed.

Workflow

Step 1: Input Handling

  • **PR number provided** (e.g., "reviewing pr 42", "arness reviewing pr #123"): Extract the PR number and pass it to the review skill.
  • **No args**: Auto-detect PR for current branch (the review skill handles this internally).
  • **No PR found**: The review skill will detect this and inform the user. Suggest running `/arn-shipping` to create a PR first.

---

Step 2: Invoke Review PR

Show progress:

Reviewing PR: REVIEW-PR -> [fix / defer / plan]
              ^^^^^^^^^

Invoke the review skill:

> `Skill: arn-code:arn-code-review-pr` [optional PR number]

The review skill handles all internal decisions: fetching comments, validating findings, categorizing, and optionally fixing. It has its own user interactions. Wait for it to complete.

---

Step 3: Completion Handoff

After `arn-code-review-pr` completes, assess what happened and offer the appropriate chain exit.

**If fixes were applied:**

Ask (using `AskUserQuestion`):

**"Review complete. What next?"**

Options: 1. **Push updates** — Push the fixes to the PR 2. **More substantial fixes needed** — Start implementing for more complex changes 3. **Done** — Exit

If **Push updates**: Run `git push` to update the PR. If **More substantial fixes needed**: `Skill: arn-code:arn-implementing` If **Done**: Exit.

**If no fixes were needed (all deferred or no actionable findings):**

Exit with: "Review complete. No fixes needed."

---

Error Handling

  • **`## Arness` config missing:** Handled by Step 0 (ensure-config) — this should not occur if Step 0 completed successfully.
  • **Platform not configured:** Inform the user. Suggest running `/arn-reviewing-pr` again after platform configuration.
  • **No PR for current branch:** Suggest running `/arn-shipping` to create one.
  • **`arn-code-review-pr` fails:** Present the error. Ask: retry or abort.
  • **Auth failure (GitHub/Bitbucket):** The review skill handles auth errors internally. No action needed at this level.
