name: ccxt-pr-reviewer
description: End-to-end review of a CCXT pull request. Reads the diff, transpiles and builds in all six languages (TS/JS, Python, PHP, C#, Go, Java), runs offline tests + live smoke tests, inspects both source and generated code, checks for security/performance/race-condition issues, drafts a structured review (verdict, inline comments, test checklist, migration notes), and posts it to GitHub. Use when the user asks to review a PR, asks for feedback on a branch, or runs /pr-review. Default to the current branch's PR if no number is given.

CCXT PR Reviewer

You review CCXT pull requests against the rules in `CLAUDE.md` and post a structured review to GitHub. You are the last gate before a maintainer reads the PR — your job is to catch what CI doesn't and to focus the maintainer's attention on what matters.

Mission

For a given PR (number passed as argument, or the PR for the current branch): 1. Read the diff and ground yourself in the project rules. 2. Verify the change builds and tests pass in **all five languages**. 3. Inspect both the TS source and the generated files for transpiler correctness. 4. Probe for race conditions, security leaks, performance regressions, and breaking changes. 5. Post a single structured review to the PR — overall verdict, inline comments, test checklist, migration notes.

Don't repeat what GitHub Actions / CI already does in its summary view. Your value is the things CI can't see: cross-language transpiler drift, subtle race conditions, missing fixtures, breaking changes that need migration notes, performance footguns.

Inputs

• `$ARGUMENTS` — PR number, e.g. `28543`. If empty, resolve the PR for the current branch via `gh pr view --json number --jq '.number'`. If there is no PR, abort and tell the user to open one first.

Phase 0 — Plan

Use `TodoWrite` to track the phases below as todos. Mark each `in_progress` when starting and `completed` when finishing.

Phase 1 — Gather context (read-only)

PR=<resolved number>
gh pr view $PR --json number,title,body,baseRefName,headRefName,headRepository,state,isDraft,labels,files,additions,deletions
gh pr diff $PR > /tmp/pr-$PR.diff
gh pr view $PR --comments

Then:

• Read `CLAUDE.md` (the contributor rules) — every section is potentially relevant.
• Read `CONTRIBUTING.md` for anything CLAUDE.md cross-references.
• If the PR description references an issue (`Fixes #N`), `gh issue view N`.
• List changed files: `gh pr view $PR --json files --jq '.files[].path'`.
• Categorise the change:
• **Exchange-only:** edits to `ts/src/<id>.ts` or `ts/src/pro/<id>.ts` — single-exchange scope.
• **Base:** edits to `ts/src/base/Exchange.ts` or `ts/src/base/ws/*` — affects all exchanges.
• **Build/transpiler:** edits to `build/transpile.ts`, `build/csharpTranspiler.ts`, `build/goTranspiler.ts` — touches every transpiled file.
• **Tests/fixtures:** `ts/src/test/**` only — limited scope.
• **Docs/meta:** `*.md`, `.claude/**`, `wiki/**` — no code verification needed.
• Note whether `package.json` version was bumped (release prep) or any generated file is in the diff (RED FLAG — see Phase 2).

Phase 2 — Static review

2a. Diff hygiene checks (CLAUDE.md §3)

Generated files in the diff means the author ran `npm run build` and committed output. Flag any of these as **🚨 Blocker**:

• `js/**`
• `python/ccxt/<id>.py`, `python/ccxt/async_support/<id>.py`
• `php/<id>.php`, `php/async/<id>.php`, `php/pro/<id>.php`
• `cs/ccxt/exchanges/**`, `cs/ccxt/ws/**`, `cs/ccxt/api/**`, `cs/ccxt/wrappers/**`, `cs/ccxt/base/Exchange.BaseMethods.cs`
• `go/v4/<id>.go`, `go/v4/<id>_api.go`, `go/v4/<id>_wrapper.go`
• `ts/src/abstract/<id>.ts`
• `dist/**`, `index.d.cts`, exchange tables in `README.md`, `wiki/Exchange-Markets*.md`

Exception: changes to **partly hand-written** base files are legitimate when the edit is above the `METHODS BELOW THIS LINE ARE TRANSPILED FROM TYPESCRIPT` marker. Verify the line numbers (CLAUDE.md §4).

2b. PR title and description

• Title format `<type>(<scope>): <description>` (CLAUDE.md §11). Flag deviations as **💡 Suggestion**.
• Description should reference an issue (`Fixes #N`, `Refs #N`) and list tests run. Missing: **⚠️ Concern**.

2c. Read the changed TS source

For each changed `ts/src/<id>.ts` or `ts/src/pro/<id>.ts`:

• Open the file. Read the changed methods plus 30 lines above and below to understand the data flow.
• Open a similar already-certified exchange (`binance.ts`, `okx.ts`, `kraken.ts`) and compare structure. Deviations from the established pattern are review fodder.
• Walk the CLAUDE.md §9 ruleset against the diff:
• Single-quoted string keys, no dot notation.
• `safeString*` / `safeNumber*` / `safeInteger*` / `safeDict` / `safeList` / `safeBool` for reads — flag any new `safeValue` where the type is known.
• `Precise.string*` for arithmetic; `+` only for string concat.
• No `.includes()` (use `.indexOf(x) !== -1`), no arrow callbacks in derived classes, no `in` operator on arrays.
• Bracketed ternaries only.
• Market id resolution via `this.market(symbol)['id']` and `this.safeSymbol(marketId, market)`.
• Crypto via base methods (`this.hmac`, `this.jwt`, `this.ecdsa`, `this.hash`, `this.totp`) — never external libs.
• `handleOptionAndParams` / `handleMarketTypeAndParams` / `handleSubTypeAndParams` for option lookups.
• `safeMarketStructure` in `parseMarket`; `safeOrder2` / `safeTicker` in their parsers.
• Declarative error mapping (`describe().exceptions.exact|broad` + `throwExactlyMatchedException` / `throwBroadlyMatchedException`).
• Typed `Promise<...>` returns; type imports from `./base/types.js`.
• Walk the docstrings (CLAUDE.md §7): every public method must have `@method`, `@name <id>#<method>`, `@description`, `@see` (one per upstream URL variant), `@param {object} [params]` always, every `params.<key>` documented, `@returns` link
