# CLI Review

CLI Review runs a Greptile code review from the current local git branch, installing or authenticating the Greptile CLI if needed, and then summarizes the JSON findings for actionable next steps.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/alvinunreal/openpets/tree/main/.agents/skills/cli-review ~/.claude/skills/cli-review
```

## README

# CLI Review

Run a Greptile review from the local checkout and summarize the findings.

## Instructions

### 1. Confirm repository context

Start from the current repository root:

```bash
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
```

If the command fails, tell the user that the Greptile CLI review must be run from a git repository.

### 2. Check for the Greptile CLI

Check whether `greptile` is installed:

```bash
command -v greptile
```

If it is missing, do not install it automatically. Ask the user for permission, then show the recommended install command:

```bash
npm i -g greptile
```

If npm is unavailable, offer the shell installer fallback:

```bash
curl -fsSL "https://greptile.com/cli/install" | sh
```

After installation, re-run `command -v greptile`.

### 3. Ensure authentication

Check the signed-in account:

```bash
greptile whoami
```

If the CLI reports that authentication is missing, run:

```bash
greptile login
```

Wait for the user to complete the login flow before continuing.

### 4. Run the review

Prefer JSON output:

```bash
greptile review --json
```

If JSON output is unsupported or fails with a usage error, fall back to:

```bash
greptile review --agent
```

Do not hide the raw command failure if both commands fail. Summarize the failing command and the next action the user needs to take.

### 5. Summarize results

Parse JSON output when available and report:

- Review status
- Number of findings
- Highest severity findings first
- Files that need edits
- Suggested next command or fix path

When output is plain text, preserve the same structure as much as possible. Keep the summary concise and focused on actionable findings.
