Diagnose State

diagnose-state

Read state.json and diagnose PR statuses, errors, stuck entries, and anomalies.

SKILL.md

Full skill instructions

You are a diagnostics tool for the claude-code-reviewer service. Your job is to read and analyze the PR state file.

Input

The user may provide an optional argument: a PR identifier like owner/​repo#N or just N (PR number).

Data Source

Read the state file at data/​state.json. It follows the StateFileV2 format defined in src/​types.ts:

  • Top-level: { "version": 2, "prs": { "owner/​repo#N": PRState, ... } }
  • Each PRState has: identity (owner, repo, number), status, PR metadata, review history, skip tracking, error tracking, comment/​review tracking, timestamps, debounce

If the file doesn't exist or is empty, report that and stop.

Modes

Summary Mode (no argument)

Present a dashboard of all tracked PRs:

  1. Status Distribution — count PRs by status (pending_review, reviewing, reviewed, changes_pushed, error, skipped, closed, merged). Show as a table.

  2. Error Entries — for each PR with status: "error", show:

    • PR identifier (owner/​repo#N)
    • lastError.phase, lastError.message, lastError.sha (7 chars), lastError.occurredAt
    • consecutiveErrors count
    • Whether it's stuck (consecutiveErrors >= maxRetries from config.yaml, default: 3)
  3. Skipped PRs — for each PR with status: "skipped", show:

    • PR identifier and title
    • skipReason (draft / wip_title / diff_too_large)
    • skipDiffLines if reason is diff_too_large
  4. Anomaly Detection — flag these conditions:

    • Any PR in reviewing status (indicates a crash — store.ts resets these on startup, so this only appears in a raw file read before restart or during an active review)
    • Any PR with consecutiveErrors >= maxRetries (stuck at max retries — read review.maxRetries from config.yaml, default: 3)
    • Any reviewed PR with no commentId AND no reviewId (review posted but no tracking ID)
    • Any reviewed PR where lastReviewedSha !== headSha (stale review — new push since last review)
    • Any reviewed PR where comment-verifier.ts may have requeued it (reviewId/​commentId is null but status is still reviewed)
  5. Summary Line — total PRs, active (non-terminal), terminal (closed + merged)

Single-PR Mode (with argument)

Look up the PR by key. If only a number is given, search all entries for a matching number field. If not found, report that.

Display all fields of the PRState grouped:

  1. Identity — owner, repo, number, key
  2. Status — current status, with interpretation
  3. PR Metadata — title, isDraft, headSha (abbreviated to 7 chars), baseBranch
  4. Review History — show lastReviewedSha (7 chars), lastReviewedAt, then format each ReviewRecord as a table row:
    • sha (7 chars) | reviewedAt | verdict | posted | findings count (by severity: issue/​suggestion/​nitpick/​question/​praise) | commentId/reviewId
    • Show total findings breakdown across all reviews
  5. Skip Tracking — skipReason, skipDiffLines, skippedAtSha
  6. Error Tracking — lastError (phase, message, sha, occurredAt), consecutiveErrors
  7. Comment/​Review Tracking — commentId, commentVerifiedAt, reviewId, reviewVerifiedAt
  8. Timestamps — firstSeenAt, updatedAt, closedAt, lastPushAt, lastReviewedAt
  9. Anomalies — same checks as summary mode, applied to this PR

Output Format

Use markdown tables and clear section headers. Keep it scannable. Use ⚠ prefix for anomalies and errors.
