Thermo-Nuclear PR Review

Use this skill for an unusually strict review of a GitHub pull request, focused on implementation quality, maintainability, abstraction quality, and codebase health. Findings persist across passes in a review ledger.

Above all, this skill should push the reviewer to be ambitious about code structure. Do not merely identify local cleanup opportunities. Actively search for "code judo" moves: restructurings that preserve behavior while making the implementation dramatically simpler, smaller, more direct, and more elegant.

Workflow

1. Resolve the target PR

• If the skill was invoked with an argument, treat it as a PR number or URL.
• Otherwise resolve the PR for the current branch: gh pr view --json number,headRefName,url.
• If no argument was given and the current branch has no PR, ask which PR to review.

2. Checkout locally if needed

• If the current branch is already the PR's head branch, skip this step.
• If the working tree is dirty, stop and ask before switching branches.
• Otherwise: gh pr checkout <number>.
