coderabbit-hello-world
Run a bounded first pull-request review with minimal supported configuration and explicit cleanup. Use when this operator task needs a current, evidence-backed CodeRabbit workflow. Trigger with "smoke test CodeRabbit".
Why this skill is useful
Provides a specific configuration example and commands for integrating CodeRabbit AI reviews that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs

What this skill does
CodeRabbit First Review Overview Prove installation and review behavior with a synthetic reversible PR. Avoid production secrets, branch-rule changes, and timing promises. Prerequisites Identify the CodeRabbit organization, Git provider, repository, plan, and accountable owner. Read references/official-docs.md and re-check any time-sensitive contract before execution. Use synthetic or read-only evidence until the approval boundary is satisfied. Preserve the repository's independent CI, security, and human-review requirements. Current Contract CodeRabbit works with defaults; YAML is optional customization. Repository YAML belongs at root and is read from the feature branch. Draft reviews are disabled by default. Configuration and review commands expose or control review state. Authentication Treat Git-provider sessions, CodeRabbit web sessions, CLI credentials, and CodeRabbit API keys as separate credentials. Use only an already-approved session or secret-manager reference, never print a secret, and do not place credentials in .coderabbit.yaml, source files, logs, or deliverables. Instructions 1. Choose an approved test repository and verify installation scope. 2. Create one harmless feature-branch change and optional minimal schema-linked YAML. 3. Open a non-draft PR and observe walkthrough, findings, and CI. 4. Respond once, then close or merge under normal policy and clean up. Tool Discipline Use Glob to locate candidate configuration and evidence files without widening scope. Use Grep to find relevant fields, commands, identifiers, and stale claims. Use Read to inspect the smallest required files and authoritative evidence. Use Write only for a new approved local draft or evidence artifact. Use Edit only for a bounded approved change whose rollback is known. Do not use these file tools as a substitute for authenticated CodeRabbit or provider operations. Approval Boundaries Require owner approval before installation, a production-repository test PR, or merge. …
