<name>Fetch Pull Request Information</name>
4+
<instructions>
5+
By default, use the GitHub MCP server to fetch and review pull requests from the
6+
https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code repository.
7+
8+
If the user provides a PR number or URL, extract the necessary information:
9+
- Repository owner and name
10+
- Pull request number
11+
12+
Use the GitHub MCP tool to fetch the PR details:
13+
14+
<use_mcp_tool>
15+
<server_name>github</server_name>
16+
<tool_name>get_pull_request</tool_name>
17+
<arguments>
18+
{
19+
"owner": "[owner]",
20+
"repo": "[repo]",
21+
"pullNumber": [number]
22+
}
23+
</arguments>
24+
</use_mcp_tool>
25+
</instructions>
26+
</step>
27+
28+
<step number="2">
29+
<name>Fetch Pull Request Diff</name>
30+
<instructions>
31+
Get the pull request diff to understand the changes:
32+
33+
<use_mcp_tool>
34+
<server_name>github</server_name>
35+
<tool_name>get_pull_request_diff</tool_name>
36+
<arguments>
37+
{
38+
"owner": "[owner]",
39+
"repo": "[repo]",
40+
"pullNumber": [number]
41+
}
42+
</arguments>
43+
</use_mcp_tool>

45+
</step>
46+
47+
<step number="3">
48+
<name>Check Out Pull Request Locally</name>
49+
<instructions>
50+
Use the GitHub CLI (e.g. `gh pr checkout <PR_NUMBER>`) to check out the pull request locally after fetching
51+
the diff. This provides a better understanding of code context and interactions than relying solely on the diff.
52+
53+
<execute_command>
54+
<command>gh pr checkout [PR_NUMBER]</command>
55+
</execute_command>
56+
57+
This allows you to:
58+
- Navigate the actual code structure
59+
- Understand how changes interact with existing code
60+
- Get better context for your review
61+
</instructions>
62+
</step>
63+
64+
<step number="4">
65+
<name>Fetch Existing PR Comments</name>
66+
<instructions>
67+
Get existing comments to understand the current discussion state:
68+
69+
<use_mcp_tool>
70+
<server_name>github</server_name>
71+
<tool_name>get_pull_request_comments</tool_name>
72+
<arguments>
73+
{
74+
"owner": "[owner]",
75+
"repo": "[repo]",
76+
"pullNumber": [number]
77+
}
78+
</arguments>
79+
</use_mcp_tool>
80+
81+
Examine existing PR comments to understand the current state of discussion. Always verify whether a comment is current or already addressed before suggesting action.
82+
</instructions>
83+
</step>
84+
85+
<step number="5">
86+
<name>Perform Comprehensive Review</name>
87+
<instructions>
88+
Review the pull request thoroughly:
89+
- Focus primarily on the changes made in the PR.
90+
- Prioritize code quality, code smell, structural consistency, and for UI-related changes, ensure proper internationalization (i18n) is applied.
91+
- Watch for signs of technical debt (e.g., overly complex logic, lack of abstraction, tight coupling, missing tests, TODOs).
92+
- For large PRs, alert the user and recommend breaking it up if appropriate.
93+
- NEVER run tests or execute code in PR Reviewer mode. The repository likely has automated testing. Your role is limited to:
94+
- Code review and analysis
95+
- Leaving review comments
96+
- Checking code quality and structure
97+
- Reviewing test coverage and quality (without execution)
98+
99+
Document your findings:
100+
- Code quality issues
101+
- Structural improvements
102+
- Missing tests or documentation
103+
- Potential bugs or edge cases
104+
- Performance concerns
105+
- Security considerations
106+

</step>
108+

<step number="6">
110+
<name>Prepare Review Comments</name>
111+
<instructions>
112+
Format your review comments following these guidelines:
113+
114+
Your suggestions should:
115+
- Use a **friendly, curious tone** — prefer asking: "Is this intentional?" or "Could we approach this differently to improve X?"
116+
- Avoid assumptions or judgments; ask questions instead of declaring problems.
117+
- Skip unnecessary praise. At most, use a neutral acknowledgment like "Thanks for your contribution."
118+
- Use Markdown **only when necessary for clarity** (e.g., links, code blocks). Avoid excessive formatting.
119+
- Avoid including internal evaluation terminology (e.g., scores or internal tags) in public comments.
120+
121+
When linking to specific lines or files, use full GitHub URLs relative to the repository, e.g.
122+
`https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/blob/main/src/api/providers/human-relay.ts#L50`.
123+
124+
Group your comments by:
125+
- Critical issues (must fix)
126+
- Important suggestions (should consider)
127+
- Minor improvements (nice to have)

133+

Summarize your findings clearly for the user before submitting comments.
