Perform Forge Review

Create code reviews on GitHub, GitLab, or Forgejo with human oversight.

Workflow

Use scripts/reviewtool for all operations. It requires Python 3 with no external dependencies.

1. Check out the PR

Copyscripts/reviewtool checkout 123

This checks out the PR branch and shows the diff. For GitLab/Forgejo, set the appropriate environment variables first.

2. Review the code

Read the files, understand the changes. Use git diff and git log as needed.

3. Build comments

Start a review, then add comments:

Copyscripts/reviewtool start --pr 123 --body "Assisted-by: OpenCode (Claude Sonnet 4)

AI-generated review. Comments prefixed with AI: are unedited."

scripts/reviewtool add --pr 123 \
  --file src/lib.rs --line 42 --match "fn process_data" \
  --body "AI: *Important*: Missing error handling"

The --match flag validates the line content to prevent misplaced comments.

4. Submit

Copyscripts/reviewtool submit --pr 123

The review is created as pending/draft. The human reviews in the forge UI and submits when satisfied.

Comment conventions

Prefixes:

• AI: — unedited AI output
• @ai: — human question for AI to process
• No prefix — human reviewed/edited

Priority markers:

• *Important*: — must resolve before merge
• (none) — normal suggestion
• (low) — minor nit

Review body

Do not summarize the PR changes. The body should contain:

• Attribution (required)
• Concerns not tied to specific lines (optional)

Avoid positive-only inline comments — they create noise.
