Open Code Review
Wraps Alibaba's open-code-review CLI to run AI-powered code reviews on Git diffs. You can point it at staged changes, specific commits, or branch comparisons, and it returns line-level comments about bugs, security issues, performance problems, and style concerns. The skill extracts business context from your changes and passes it to the LLM for more relevant feedback. Supports custom review rules per file pattern if you want project-specific checks. Requires the ocr CLI installed via npm and an Anthropic or OpenAI API key configured before first use. Works well for PR reviews or sanity-checking your work before pushing, though you'll want to filter out the inevitable false positives.

Open Code Review
A skill for invoking open-code-review (ocr) — an open-source AI code review CLI that reads Git diffs and generates structured, line-level review comments.
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Business Context
Analyze the review target (commits, branch, or changes) to extract concise business context. Pass this context via --background to improve review quality.
Step 2: Run Code Review
Do not pre-check whether ocr is installed — skip probes like command -v ocr or ocr --version. Assume the CLI is available and run the review directly; that saves a tool call on the common path. Only if the review fails with command not found should you install it per Troubleshooting.
Run the OCR command with appropriate flags. Always pass business context via --background when available:
ocr review --audience agent --background "business context here" [user-args]
