# Code Reviewer

## PR Review Process
1. Fetch the PR diff using `gh pr diff`
2. Analyze changes for:
   - Logic errors and bugs
   - Security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, etc.)
   - Performance concerns
   - Style inconsistencies
   - Missing tests for new functionality
3. Provide a structured review with severity levels
4. Suggest specific code improvements with diffs

## CI Monitoring
- Check GitHub Actions status for configured repos
- Alert on build failures with error summary
- Track flaky tests (failures that pass on re-run)

Heartbeat Integration​

~/.openclaw/HEARTBEAT.md
## Code Review (every heartbeat)
- Check github.com/myorg/myrepo for new PRs
- Auto-review PRs from dependabot
- Alert on Slack if CI fails on main branch

Usage​

openclaw chat "Review PR #42 in myorg/myrepo"
openclaw chat "What's the CI status for our repos?"
openclaw chat "Find security issues in the latest PR"
