## Self-review and the pull request check
|
||||
|
||||
### Task plan
|
||||
|
||||
For a task beyond a small fix, the agent writes the plan you agreed on to
|
||||
`.scratch/<branch>/plan.md`, e.g. `.scratch/feat/profile/plan.md`. `.scratch/` is ignored by git
|
||||
and outlives the session, so a later session can pick up the plan. The task plan is the spec the
|
||||
self-review checks the change against, unless the commits reference a GitHub issue: then the issue
|
||||
is the spec.
|
||||
|
||||
### Self-review
|
||||
|
||||
When the task is done, the agent reviews its own change with the `code-review` engineering skill
|
||||
against the base branch, usually `main`. The review has two separate parts:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Standards**: does the change follow `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `AGENTS.md` and the project skills?
|
||||
- **Spec**: does it do what the task plan or the issue asked for, and nothing else?
|
||||
|
||||
The agent fixes every **hard violation** (a breach of a documented project rule) itself, then
|
||||
reruns the checks and the self-review. It reports **judgement calls** (code smells, possible scope
|
||||
creep) to you and leaves the decision to you. The self-review is advisory: it catches cheap
|
||||
mistakes before you spend time on them. It does not replace your author review, and it is no
|
||||
security control, because a misled agent reviews its own change (see [](#ai-review-checklist)).
|
||||
|
||||
### Pull request body
|
||||
|
||||
The agent writes the pull request body to `.scratch/<branch>/pr.md` with the `pr` engineering
|
||||
skill. It follows `.github/pull_request_template.md`, which uses the skill's sections, so agents
|
||||
and people write the same structure:
|
||||
|
||||
- `## Summary`: the smallest view that makes the change clear (pseudocode, a call or file tree, a
|
||||
diff sketch or a diagram) with short text,
|
||||
- `## Evidence`: before and after, e.g. a failing and a passing test run,
|
||||
- `## Merge Danger`: whether the change is a one-way or two-way door, its blast radius, and
|
||||
optional **Breaking:** and **Security:** lines,
|
||||
- `## Checklist`: the "AI-assisted" and author-review boxes,
|
||||
- `## Self-review`: the self-review declaration:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Self-review
|
||||
|
||||
Reviewed: 3f2a9c1e5b7d4a6f8e0c2b4d6f8a0c2e4b6d8f0a
|
||||
Base: main
|
||||
Standards: 0 hard, 2 judgement
|
||||
Spec: 1 open (source: .scratch/feat/profile/plan.md)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- spec: ...

||||

||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`Reviewed:` is the full SHA of the commit the review ran on. `Spec:` names the source of the spec:
|
||||
an issue (`#123`), the task plan, or `none`.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the pull request from the host with that body. Before every further push, let the agent
|
||||
rerun the self-review and rewrite `pr.md`, not just edit the SHA; replace the body right after the
|
||||
push:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr create --repo Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS --body-file .scratch/<branch>/pr.md ...
|
||||
gh pr edit <number> --repo Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS --body-file .scratch/<branch>/pr.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Without `gh`, do it by hand on GitHub: paste the content of `pr.md` as the description when you
|
||||
open the pull request. To replace it later, open the "..." menu of the pull request description,
|
||||
choose "Edit", replace the whole text with the content of `pr.md` and click "Update comment".
|
||||
|
||||
### The pull request check
|
||||
|
||||
The CI workflow `ai-self-review` (`scripts/check_pr_self_review.py`) treats a pull request as
|
||||
agent-assisted when
|
||||
|
||||
- any commit carries an `Assisted-by:` trailer (or Claude Code's
|
||||
`Co-Authored-By: ... <noreply@anthropic.com>`),
|
||||
- the body carries an agent marker: an `Assisted-by:` line, or a footer an agent writes on its own,
|
||||
such as Claude Code's `Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)` (the check
|
||||
matches the Markdown text `Generated with [Claude Code]`), or
|
||||
- the "AI-assisted" box in the body is ticked.
|
||||
|
||||
So a pull request that an agent opened is detected even when its commits were written by hand.
|
||||
Template comments (`<!-- ... -->`) never count. The check then fails only when
|
||||
|
||||
- the body has no `## Self-review` section, or the section has no `Reviewed:` line,
|
||||
- `Reviewed:` is not the full 40-character lowercase SHA of the current head of the pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
Everything else is only noted, without failing the check: as a warning in the log, in the job
|
||||
summary, and in the comment if the pull request already has one. A passing check never adds a new
|
||||
comment because of notes. Notes are given for:
|
||||
|
||||
- a commit or the body carries an agent marker but the box is not ticked,
|
||||
- `Base:`, `Standards:` or `Spec:` is present but malformed: the counts must be numbers and
|
||||
`Spec:` needs a source, as in the format above.
|
||||
|
||||
Agents still write all four lines; the check requires only `Reviewed:`, because the SHA is what
|
||||
binds the declaration to the code. A missing optional line is not reported.
|
||||
|
||||
Open findings do not fail the check. Dependabot and release pull requests are skipped.
|
||||
|
||||
When the check fails, the workflow posts a comment on the pull request: what is wrong, how to fix
|
||||
it, and the expected format of the section. It keeps one such comment per pull request and updates
|
||||
it on every run, so pushes and body edits do not add new comments; once the check passes, the
|
||||
comment says so. The same report appears in the job summary of the run. Values taken from the
|
||||
pull request body or the commit messages appear in the comment only inside a code block, so they
|
||||
cannot mention anyone or inject Markdown. If the check script itself fails, the comment says that
|
||||
the check could not run and points to the log of the workflow run; the check then fails.
|
||||
|
||||
Every push changes the head, so the check fails until the body names the new head. Therefore the
|
||||
self-review is rerun and `pr.md` rewritten before the push, and the body is replaced right after
|
||||
it. The check run started by the push sees the old body; the run started by the body edit cancels
|
||||
it if it is still running, and decides the result. This is deliberate: a declaration must not
|
||||
silently cover code pushed after the review.
|
||||
Rebases and squashes before the merge need a fresh declaration too.
|
||||
|
||||
The check cannot tell a real review from a typed-in SHA, as no AI runs in CI. Like a sign-off, it
|
||||
makes forgetting impossible and a false claim deliberate. Your author review and the maintainers'
|
||||
review remain the controls. See the decision record
|
||||
[0001](../adr/0001-self-declared-sha-bound-review-gate.md).
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow runs on `pull_request_target`: it uses the workflow and the script of the base
|
||||
branch, never the code of the pull request, so a pull request cannot weaken its own check. It runs
|
||||
only for pull requests into `main`, never on pushes to `main` or to other branches, and not for
|
||||
pull requests into other branches.
