Resolution Review Skill

Use this skill to review resolved ADO work items that have been assigned to you for verification.

Process

1. Understand the Original Issue

• •Read the work item title and description
• •Understand what problem was being solved
• •Note any acceptance criteria or requirements

2. Review the PR Changes

If a GitHub PR URL is provided:

• •Fetch the PR diff using gh pr diff <number> or review the files changed
• •Understand what code changes were made
• •Check if the changes align with the issue requirements

3. Compare Against Test Notes

The test notes field contains acceptance criteria or testing instructions:

• •Verify each criterion is addressed by the changes
• •Check for edge cases that might not be covered
• •Look for potential regressions

4. Code Quality Check

• •Review the code for quality issues
• •Check for proper error handling
• •Verify no security vulnerabilities introduced
• •Ensure code follows project conventions

5. Provide Verdict

Format your response as:
