Synthesis PR Review
A pull request in a synthesis-coded project is not just "does the code work?" It is "does this change make the system better without making it worse?" This skill defines how to evaluate that.
Where This Fits
Seven related engineering skills cover different scopes and lifecycle phases:
| Skill | Scope | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| code-planning | Approach selection for a task | Before writing code — evaluate alternatives, pick the best approach |
| implementation-integrity | Self-verification of a single implementation | After completing work — "Is my code genuinely complete?" |
| code-audit | 10-dimension quality scan of a diff | After implementation — systematic quality measurement |
| preflight | Branch readiness gate | Before creating a PR — tests, types, audit, commit hygiene |
| review-triage | PR queue prioritization | Before starting review — which PR to review next |
| pr-review (this one) | Delta review of a single change | Every PR, before peer approval or lead integration |
| code-integration | Integration workflow (adopt-and-adapt pattern, quality gates) | When merging contributor work into main |
