Review a PR

Roll up change risk for a working tree or branch before you merge.

Aggregate blast radius, safe-delete hints, and test impact across a diff.

prism review
prism review --base origin/main
prism review --base origin/main --fail-on high

With no arguments, review covers the working tree (including untracked files). In CI, always pass --base.

What you get back

A single review of every changed path: risk bands, high-impact files, and signals worth a second look before merge. Combined with prism cycles --fail-on any it is the usual PR gate.

Checkout needs full history (fetch-depth: 0) when comparing against a base branch.

When this is wrong

  • Shallow clones hide git-derived signals — see known limitations.
  • Exit code 1 means the gate fired (finding at or above --fail-on), not that Prism crashed. Exit 3 is a tool failure.
  • Review is structural risk, not correctness or security CVEs.
