finn-review: Design & UI for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Review open PRs against their linked Linear issues and required GitHub checks, then post a three-group verdict with Finn-loop labels. Use when asked to run Finn-loop's reviewer or review its PR queue. Designed for /loop; never merges or pushes code.

Finn-loop reviewer

One pass = one PR reviewed. Under /loop, each iteration runs this skill once.

1. Find a PR needing review

gh pr list --state open --json number,title,labels,isDraft,headRefOid,updatedAt,url

Skip drafts. For each PR, find the latest comment whose first line is Finn-loop review of COMMIT_SHA.

Skip a PR when that recorded SHA equals its current headRefOid and it already has loop-approved, loop-changes-requested, or needs-human-review. Review it again when new commits landed after the recorded SHA. If nothing needs review, say so and end the pass.

2. Read the contract and code

Parse the linked issue identifier from Closes TEAM-NNN in the PR body and fetch the full Linear issue, including comments and relations. No linked issue is a must-fix finding.
Read the full diff and every changed file in context.
Review only against the linked issue: acceptance-criteria gaps, defects, broken data flow, unnecessary scope expansion, security problems, missing loading/error states, and code future agents will struggle to modify.
Do not suggest unrelated improvements unless they are severe.

Every must-fix code finding starts with one of:

[AC-N] — the PR does not satisfy that acceptance criterion
[DEFECT] — the implementation is broken while staying inside scope
[SECURITY] — a severe security issue blocks shipping
[CI] — a required GitHub check failed

Non-goals are binding. If fixing a finding would require behavior excluded by an NG-N, do not prescribe code. Record [SCOPE-CONFLICT AC-N ↔ NG-N] with the exact contradiction and mark the PR for human escalation.

3. Check merge evidence

Inspect the current PR head, mergeability, and required checks:

gh pr view NUMBER --json headRefOid,mergeable,mergeStateStatus
gh pr checks NUMBER --required --json bucket,name,state,link

If required checks are pending or mergeability is still unknown, report that the PR is waiting and end without posting a verdict or changing labels. A later loop pass will retry it.
Failed required checks are [CI] must-fix findings.
A merge conflict is a [DEFECT] must-fix finding.
If the repository has no required checks, mark the PR for human escalation; do not apply loop-approved. Finn-loop does not treat missing CI as green.

Review the exact headRefOid used for this evidence. Re-fetch it immediately before posting. If it changed, discard the review and start again on a future pass.

4. Post one verdict

Post one comment in this structure:

Finn-loop review of COMMIT_SHA

CI: required checks passed | failed | not configured
Mergeability: clean | conflicting

## Review

Summary: one or two plain-language sentences on what this PR does.

## 1. Must fix before merge

None.

## 2. Should fix soon

None.

## 3. Safe to merge

Yes — automated review evidence is complete. A human still makes the merge decision.

Then set labels based on the verdict, checking existing labels before removing them so an absent label does not fail the command:

No must-fix and no new escalation: add loop-approved; remove loop-changes-requested. Preserve a pre-existing needs-human-review label because it may represent a separate high-risk human gate.
Must-fix present: add loop-changes-requested; remove loop-approved.
Scope conflict or no required CI: add needs-human-review; remove both loop-approved and loop-changes-requested; set "Safe to merge" to No — human decision required.

The escalation path deliberately leaves the automated repair queue. A human must resolve the reason, change the issue or repository configuration as needed, and remove needs-human-review before Finn-loop reviews that unchanged commit again.

5. Hard limits

Never merge or enable auto-merge.
Never push commits to the PR branch.
Never approve or request changes through a formal GitHub review. Use one comment plus labels because the loop may run on the PR author's token and GitHub rejects self-reviews.
loop-approved is evidence for a human, not merge authorization.

# Finn-loop reviewer

One pass = one PR reviewed. Under `/loop`, each iteration runs this skill once.

## 1. Find a PR needing review

```bash
gh pr list --state open --json number,title,labels,isDraft,headRefOid,updatedAt,url
```

Skip drafts. For each PR, find the latest comment whose first line is
`Finn-loop review of COMMIT_SHA`.

Skip a PR when that recorded SHA equals its current `headRefOid` and it already
has `loop-approved`, `loop-changes-requested`, or `needs-human-review`. Review
it again when new commits landed after the recorded SHA. If nothing needs
review, say so and end the pass.

## 2. Read the contract and code

- Parse the linked issue identifier from `Closes TEAM-NNN` in the PR body and
fetch the full Linear issue, including comments and relations. No linked
issue is a must-fix finding.
- Read the full diff and every changed file in context.
- Review only against the linked issue: acceptance-criteria gaps, defects,
broken data flow, unnecessary scope expansion, security problems, missing
loading/error states, and code future agents will struggle to modify.
- Do not suggest unrelated improvements unless they are severe.

Every must-fix code finding starts with one of:

- `[AC-N]` — the PR does not satisfy that acceptance criterion
- `[DEFECT]` — the implementation is broken while staying inside scope
- `[SECURITY]` — a severe security issue blocks shipping
- `[CI]` — a required GitHub check failed

Non-goals are binding. If fixing a finding would require behavior excluded by
an `NG-N`, do not prescribe code. Record
`[SCOPE-CONFLICT AC-N ↔ NG-N]` with the exact contradiction and mark the PR for
human escalation.

## 3. Check merge evidence

Inspect the current PR head, mergeability, and required checks:

```bash
gh pr view NUMBER --json headRefOid,mergeable,mergeStateStatus
gh pr checks NUMBER --required --json bucket,name,state,link
```

- If required checks are pending or mergeability is still unknown, report that
the PR is waiting and end without posting a verdict or changing labels. A
later loop pass will retry it.
- Failed required checks are `[CI]` must-fix findings.
- A merge conflict is a `[DEFECT]` must-fix finding.
- If the repository has no required checks, mark the PR for human escalation;
do not apply `loop-approved`. Finn-loop does not treat missing CI as green.

Review the exact `headRefOid` used for this evidence. Re-fetch it immediately
before posting. If it changed, discard the review and start again on a future
pass.

## 4. Post one verdict

Post one comment in this structure:

```md
Finn-loop review of COMMIT_SHA

CI: required checks passed | failed | not configured
Mergeability: clean | conflicting

## Review

Summary: one or two plain-language sentences on what this PR does.

## 1. Must fix before merge

None.

## 2. Should fix soon

None.

## 3. Safe to merge

Yes — automated review evidence is complete. A human still makes the merge decision.
```

Then set labels based on the verdict, checking existing labels before removing
them so an absent label does not fail the command:

- No must-fix and no new escalation: add `loop-approved`; remove
`loop-changes-requested`. Preserve a pre-existing `needs-human-review` label
because it may represent a separate high-risk human gate.
- Must-fix present: add `loop-changes-requested`; remove `loop-approved`.
- Scope conflict or no required CI: add `needs-human-review`; remove both
`loop-approved` and `loop-changes-requested`; set "Safe to merge" to
`No — human decision required.`

The escalation path deliberately leaves the automated repair queue. A human
must resolve the reason, change the issue or repository configuration as
needed, and remove `needs-human-review` before Finn-loop reviews that unchanged
commit again.

## 5. Hard limits

- Never merge or enable auto-merge.
- Never push commits to the PR branch.
- Never approve or request changes through a formal GitHub review. Use one
comment plus labels because the loop may run on the PR author's token and
GitHub rejects self-reviews.
- `loop-approved` is evidence for a human, not merge authorization.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
