Tips
Get the most out of Staff Review.
- Review against your working tree. Use a
…..WTdiff (e.g.main..WT) so fixes from/staff-resolveflow into the next review. This is required for/staff-loopto converge — point it at the working tree, not a fixed commit range. - Make the skills yours. They’re Markdown in
.agents/skills/. Add your conventions, your “don’t do X here,” your preferred test framework. A review is only as good as the standard you hand it. - Build the docs early. The first time anyone flags something
project-specific, click Document and let
/staff-resolvewrite it up. From then on it’s checked on every review. Commit.staffreview/docs/so the team shares one memory. - Label your models. The skills pass
--author "<model name>"so the UI shows who said what. Mix models — one to review, another to resolve — and compare. - Keep diffs focused. Reviews are sharper on smaller changes; a 30-file diff dilutes attention. Review feature-by-feature.
/staff-loopedits your working tree. It’s unattended and powerful, but it leaves changes uncommitted on purpose — read the diff before you commit. LowerloopMaxRoundsto cap cost, raise it for thoroughness.- No GitHub required. This works on any local repo with no remote — review your own work before it ever becomes a PR.
