| Best for | Reviewing a commit, PR or saved diff against an identified baseline. | Adding event-triggered workflow automation to a plugin. |
| Requirements | Claude Code with plugin support.; Readable Git checkout with the target and baseline history.; Remote PR access only when using a PR URL; local files can be reviewed without that integration. | Install the containing Plugin Dev package |
| Limitations | AI findings require human validation; a clean report is not a security guarantee.; Missing history or surrounding code limits the review and impact analysis. | This is an authoring skill, not a ready-to-run hook; Validate generated examples against your installed Claude Code version |
