Review: PR #82 — docs: add /review-pr CI causality blog post
Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES
Summary
The blog post is well-structured with a strong narrative arc (CI triage frustration → causality classification → fix-it-forward → review lifecycle). Build passes cleanly, all 7 acceptance criteria from issue #64 are covered, and constitution compliance is solid on Principles II (Minimal Footprint) and III (Visitor Clarity).
However, source verification against the current upstream command file reveals that the commands have been renamed since this post was drafted. The blog post references stale command names throughout, which is a Principle I (Content Accuracy) violation.
Findings
| # | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | HIGH | All command references use /review-pr and /review-council — the commands are now /uf.review-pr and /uf.review-council. Every occurrence in the blog post, title, frontmatter, and OpenSpec artifacts needs updating. |
| 2 | MEDIUM | Source path cited in design.md and Dewey learning is .opencode/command/review-pr.md (singular command, no uf. prefix). Actual path is .opencode/commands/uf.review-pr.md. |
| 3 | MEDIUM | See Also link to /docs/getting-started/common-workflows/ has anchor text claiming a "/review-council vs /review-pr comparison table" — that content does not exist in common-workflows.md. Design.md notes dependency on PR #74, which has not added this content. |
| 4 | MEDIUM | <!-- code-review: passed --> gate marker is pre-set in tasks.md before this review concluded. This is a self-approval of a review gate. |
| 5 | LOW | "Scope limit: Will not attempt non-trivial fixes that span more than 3 files" — this claim is not present in the current upstream source (uf.review-pr.md). Either verify and cite the source, or remove the claim. |
| 6 | LOW | Dewey learning cites line numbers from the old command file that no longer correspond to the current uf.review-pr.md. |
What's Correct
The following technical claims were verified against uf.review-pr.md and are accurate:
- ✅ 3-row causality classification table (PR-caused, pre-existing, unknown)
- ✅ PR-caused classified as HIGH/CRITICAL
- ✅ Pre-existing failures don't block verdict
- ✅ Fix branch naming:
fix/pr-<NUMBER>-<sanitized-check-name> - ✅ 15-comment cap with CRITICAL prioritized over HIGH
- ✅ Dirty-tree guard (
git status --porcelain) - ✅ Collision check before creating fix branches
- ✅ Human confirmation before posting comments
- ✅ 6-phase review structure
- ✅
brew install unbound-force/tap/unbound-forceinstall command
Recommended Fix
The primary fix is a global rename:
/review-pr→/uf.review-pr(all occurrences including title, frontmatter, body)/review-council→/uf.review-council(all occurrences).opencode/command/review-pr.md→.opencode/commands/uf.review-pr.md(source citations)- Remove or rewrite the See Also anchor text for common-workflows
- Remove
<!-- code-review: passed -->from tasks.md - Verify or remove the 3-file scope limit claim

[HIGH] Command renamed: The title references /review-pr but the command is now /uf.review-pr. The title, description, and lead frontmatter fields all need updating.
This also affects the slug — consider whether uf-review-pr-causality is more appropriate, or keep the current slug for URL stability and let the title/body carry the correct name.
| `/review-pr` fetches your PR's CI results and answers the first question every developer asks: *did my changes cause this failure?* | ||

[HIGH] Command renamed: These code blocks reference /review-pr — should be /uf.review-pr:
/uf.review-pr # auto-detect PR from current branch
/uf.review-pr 42 # review a specific PR by number
| **Safety guards**: | ||
| - **Dirty-tree guard**: Will not create a fix branch if you have uncommitted changes | ||
| - **Collision check**: Will not overwrite an existing fix branch with the same name | ||
| - **Scope limit**: Will not attempt non-trivial fixes that span more than 3 files or require understanding business logic — instead, it reports the issue and recommends manual investigation |

Is this scope limit valid? There is no reverence to the review being limited by the number of files in /uf.review-pr

[HIGH] Command renamed: The lifecycle diagram and surrounding text reference /review-council and /review-pr — should be /uf.review-council and /uf.review-pr throughout this section.

[MEDIUM] Misleading anchor text: The link description says "/review-council vs /review-pr comparison table" but common-workflows.md does not contain any mention of /review-pr or /uf.review-pr. Design.md notes this depends on PR #74, which hasn't added that content.
Suggested fix — either:
- Update anchor text to something accurate:
"Common Workflows — end-to-end workflow reference" - Remove this link until the comparison table actually exists

[MEDIUM] Gate marker pre-set: <!-- code-review: passed --> is set before this review concluded. Per AGENTS.md, workflow gate markers are protected — this should only be set after the review approves. Remove this marker; it can be re-added after approval.
