Its author describes it as: “Automated Cherry Studio review for local branches, PRs, commits, files, architecture docs, and repository skills. Use for code or documentation reviews that need project-specific naming, main/renderer/shared placement…”. The project has 52k stars on GitHub and is available under the AGPL-3.0-only license. Add it to your setup with `git clone https://github.com/CherryHQ/cherry-studio ~/.claude/skills/gh-pr-review`.
What gh-pr-review does
Automated code review for local branches, PRs, commits, and files. Detects the review target from arguments, then picks the review engine from diff size and runtime capability. Small diffs use single-agent review (`references/local-review.md`). Large diffs use the multi-agent reviewer–verifier flow (`references/teams-review.md`) only when independent subagents are available; otherwise they fall back to single-agent review with that limitation disclosed. PR targets add worktree setup and GitHub submission (`references/pr-review.md`) around the same engine-selection contract.

Frequently asked questions
- What does gh-pr-review do?
- Automated Cherry Studio review for local branches, PRs, commits, files, architecture docs, and repository skills. Use for code or documentation reviews that need project-specific naming, main/renderer/shared placement and dependency rules, IpcApi and DataApi boundaries, lifecycle/service ownership, renderer hooks, React/UI conventions, and tests. Review depth adapts to diff size and runtime subagent capability (single-agent or multi-agent reviewer-verifier). Report-only by default; code fixes and GitHub submission each require explicit invocation-time authorization (`fix` / `submit`). Normal-review prompts and safe interruption behavior follow the interaction contract below. To diagnose gaps in the skill after a review session, run `/gh-pr-review diag`.
