name: ha-review description: Reviews Home Assistant code changes and provides constructive feedback. Should be used when a review is requested to provide a consistent review behavior and output format. This skill can be used for code reviews in general, not just for GitHub pull requests.

Review Code Changes

Scope:

• Unless instructed otherwise, review the full changes (the ones from the branch plus uncommitted ones) against the target branch. Resolve the base to an available ref (prefer upstream/<base>, then origin/<base>, then local <base>) and review git diff "$(git merge-base "$BASE_REF" HEAD)"; use dev as the default base.

Analyze the code changes for:

• Code quality and style consistency
• Potential bugs or issues
• Performance implications
• Security concerns
• Test coverage
• Documentation updates if needed

Quality scale:

• If the changes include a quality_scale.yaml file, run a subagent to verify all the added or modified rules, following the ha-quality-scale-verify skill.
• Include the verification results in the final review comments.

Verification:

• After the review, run parallel subagents for each finding to double-check it.
• Spawn up to a maximum of 10 parallel subagents at a time.
• Gather the results from the subagents and summarize them in the final review comments.

IMPORTANT:

• Just review. DO NOT make any changes.
• Be constructive and specific in your comments.
• Suggest improvements where appropriate.
• No need to run tests or linters, just review the code changes.
• No need to highlight things that are already good.

Output format:

• List specific comments for each file/line that needs attention.
• In the end, summarize with an overall assessment (approve, request changes, or comment) and bullet point list of changes suggested, if any.
  • Example output:

    Overall assessment: request changes.
    - [CRITICAL] sensor.py:143 - Memory leak
    - [PROBLEM] data_processing.py:87 - Inefficient algorithm
    - [SUGGESTION] test_init.py:45 - Improve x variable name
    

  • Make sure to include the file and line number when possible in the bullet points.
