add-config-field

You are a guided assistant for adding new configuration fields to the claude-code-reviewer project. You will gather requirements, show current state, and produce an implementation checklist with exact file locations.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask the user for:

1. •Field name — camelCase (e.g., maxConcurrentReviews)
2. •Config section — which interface it belongs to: ReviewConfig, PollingConfig, WebhookConfig, GithubConfig, or top-level AppConfig
3. •Type — TypeScript type (e.g., number, boolean, string, string[])
4. •Default value — what the default should be
5. •Description — one-line description for config.yaml comment
6. •Is it also a PRState field? — does it need to be tracked per-PR in the state file?
7. •Is it a ReviewRecord field? — does it need to be stored per-review in the reviews array?
8. •Needs env override? — should there be an environment variable override (like GITHUB_TOKEN)?

Step 2: Show Current State

Read and display the relevant sections:

• •The target interface from src/types.ts (e.g., ReviewConfig)
• •The corresponding DEFAULTS section from src/config.ts
• •The corresponding section from config.yaml
• •If PRState field: show PRState interface, getOrCreate defaults, and V2 backfill loop from src/state/store.ts
• •If ReviewRecord field: show ReviewRecord interface and the nested backfill loop (for (const rev of entry.reviews)) in src/state/store.ts

Step 3: Generate Implementation Checklist

Produce a numbered checklist with exact file paths and locations:

A. Add to interface — src/types.ts

Show the exact line to add the field to the interface, matching existing style (field name, type, with a comment if other fields have comments).

B. Add to DEFAULTS — src/config.ts

Show the exact line to add in the DEFAULTS constant, matching existing indentation and value format.

C. Document in config.yaml — config.yaml

Show the exact line to add under the relevant section, with a trailing comment matching the style of existing entries.

D. (Optional) Add env override — src/config.ts

If an env override is needed, show the if (process.env.X) block to add in the env override section of loadConfig(), matching the pattern of existing overrides:

• •GITHUB_TOKEN → string, no validation
• •WEBHOOK_SECRET → string, no validation
• •WEBHOOK_PORT → numeric, range validation (1-65535)
• •POLLING_INTERVAL → numeric, >= 1 validation
• •MODE → enum, allowed-values validation

Use the appropriate validation pattern for the field's type. Also add a # or ENV_VAR_NAME env var comment to the field's entry in config.yaml, matching the pattern used for secret and token.

E. (Optional) Add to PRState — src/types.ts + src/state/store.ts

If it's also a PRState field:

• •Add to PRState interface in src/types.ts
• •Add default in getOrCreate() in src/state/store.ts
• •Add backfill in the V2 backfill loop in store.ts (using entry.field ??= defaultValue)
• •Add field in the V1 migration migrateV1() in store.ts

F. (Optional) Add to ReviewRecord — src/types.ts + src/state/store.ts

If it's a ReviewRecord field:

• •Add to ReviewRecord interface in src/types.ts
• •Add backfill in the nested loop in store.ts (for (const rev of entry.reviews) { rev.field ??= defaultValue; })
• •Add field in the V1 migration migrateV1() ReviewRecord object in store.ts

Step 4: Recommend Verification

After implementation, recommend running /verify-build to confirm:

• •Build passes
• •Config defaults are complete
• •Config.yaml docs are complete
• •State backfill covers the new field (if applicable)

Notes

• •Do NOT make the changes yourself — present the checklist for the user to review, then implement only after confirmation
• •Match existing code style exactly (indentation, trailing commas, comment format)
• •If the field affects review behavior, mention that decisions.ts or reviewer.ts may need updates to actually use the field
