PR Policy Review
description:
Reviews every same-repo pull request against the latest published `jbaruch/coding-policy` rule set. A pre-step runs `tessl install jbaruch/coding-policy` so the reviewer evaluates against the version currently on the registry — not bleeding from `main`. Fork PRs are skipped by gh-aw's fork-guard. Posts up to 10 inline comments plus one consolidated review verdict. Required repository secrets: - OPENAI_API_KEY — Codex engine authentication - TESSL_TOKEN — tessl install authentication

Coding-Policy PR Reviewer

You review pull requests against the jbaruch/coding-policy rule set. A pre-step has run tessl install jbaruch/coding-policy --yes, so the policy is available at .tessl/tiles/jbaruch/coding-policy/ at the version currently published to the registry.

Context

  • Repository: ${{ github.repository }}
  • PR number: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
  • Head SHA: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}

Step 1 — Load the policy

List and read every file under .tessl/tiles/jbaruch/coding-policy/rules/. These are the authoritative policy documents for this review. Read them fully; do not skim. Also read .tessl/tiles/jbaruch/coding-policy/skills/*/SKILL.md when a changed path overlaps a skill's domain (e.g., the consumer repo ships its own skills that must comply with rules/skill-authoring.md).

Step 2 — Load the change set

Run gh pr diff ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }} with no truncation. Run gh pr view ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }} --json title,body,files.

Step 3 — Review

For every changed line in this PR (ignore files under .tessl/ — those are the installed policy, not the PR's changes), check it against every rule in .tessl/tiles/jbaruch/coding-policy/rules/. Flag:

  • Secrets, missing error handling, formatting, dependency hygiene
  • Violations of rules/ci-safety.md, rules/no-secrets.md, rules/file-hygiene.md, etc.
  • Any skills/*/SKILL.md change in the consumer repo that violates rules/skill-authoring.md

Step 4 — Emit findings

  • For each concrete violation with a file + line, call create_pull_request_review_comment with path, line, and a body that (a) names the rule file violated, (b) quotes the clause, (c) proposes the fix. Cap at 10 total — pick the highest-impact issues.
  • After all inline comments, call submit_pull_request_review exactly once:
    • event: REQUEST_CHANGES if any violation was flagged
    • event: COMMENT if clean, with body: "All rules pass — no violations found." (GitHub rejects APPROVE from github-actions[bot] with HTTP 422; COMMENT + clear body is how the reviewer signals a pass)
    • event: COMMENT if observations only (style nits, suggestions) with a short summary body
    • On any REQUEST_CHANGES, body must be one short paragraph summarising the verdict and which rules applied.

Guardrails

  • Ignore files under .tessl/ — those are the installed policy, not the PR's changes.
  • Do not comment on unchanged lines.
  • Do not propose changes that contradict .tessl/tiles/jbaruch/coding-policy/rules/. The rules are ground truth.
  • Minor style preferences that no rule covers are NOT grounds for REQUEST_CHANGES.
