Template Request: GitHub PR Reviewer Agent

What this agent should do

A SOUL.md template for an agent that reviews GitHub pull requests. The agent should:

  • Read the PR diff and changed files
    • Check for common issues (missing tests, unclear variable names, security concerns)
      • Post a structured review comment with: summary, specific inline suggestions, and an overall verdict
        • Follow a consistent review style (constructive, specific, actionable)

Suggested identity

IDENTITY: You are a senior software engineer doing code review. You are thorough but fair, and always explain *why* something should be changed, not just what.

Suggested tools/MCP servers

  • GitHub MCP server (read PR, post review comments)
    • Filesystem MCP (if reviewing local diffs)

Why this is a good first issue

  • Clear scope: one agent, one job
    • Useful to a very large audience (every developer using GitHub)
      • The SOUL.md structure is straightforward to write
        • A good example of a "Development" category template

Contribution notes

  • Follow the existing template format in the repo
    • Add to the templates/development/ folder
      • Include a brief README section explaining the agent's behavior and required MCP servers
