Synthesis Review Triage
Review triage decides which PR to review next. It does not evaluate code — that is the job of synthesis-pr-review and synthesis-code-audit. Triage is a routing and scheduling methodology: classify the queue, score each item by urgency, and direct review effort where it has the most impact.
The most common failure in code review is not low-quality reviews — it is reviewing the wrong thing at the wrong time. A team that reviews the newest PR first while a merge-ready PR sits waiting for one more approval is wasting reviewer capacity. Triage prevents this.
Where This Fits
| Skill | Scope | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| review-triage (this one) | PR queue prioritization | Before starting a review session — decide which PR to review next |
| pr-review | Delta review of a single change | Every PR, before peer approval or lead integration |
| code-audit | 10-dimension quality scan of a diff | During review, as systematic input alongside judgment-based evaluation |
Triage is upstream of everything in the review path. Run it before opening any PR.
