+ ## Paths
2
+
3
+ {{PATHS}}
4
+
5
+ ## Hard rules
6
+
7
+ - Read-only. Do not check anything out, do not run the tests, and do not write anywhere except
8
+ `<model>`.
9
+ - The {{TARGET_WORD}} head is **not** checked out. Read a changed file as it is at the head from
10
+ `<head>/<path>` and at the merge base from `<base>/<path>`. Read untouched files with
11
+ `git show {{HEAD_SHA}}:<path>` from the repository root; the working tree may be on an unrelated
12
+ branch, including for stacked PRs. Use `git show {{MERGE_BASE_SHA}}:<path>` for base context.
13
+ - Write `<model>` and nothing else. It must match the JSON schema at the end of this file.
14
+ Prefer the host's file-writing tool (such as Write) over a shell heredoc: the canvas directory
15
+ may be under the user's home directory, where shell write guards can block heredocs.

28
+ ## Manifest
29
+
30
+ Every changed file with its hunk ids and headers. A hunk id is `<key>#<n>`, where `<key>` is the
31
+ path with every non-alphanumeric character replaced by `_` and `<n>` the 1-based position of the
32
+ hunk in that file's patch.

39
+
40
+ ## Layering rules
41
+
42
+ The project's default layers, in review order, are the default taxonomy:
43
+
44
+ {{DEFAULT_LAYERS}}
45
+
46
+ {{LAYERS_DEFAULT}}
47
+
48
+ - **Every hunk id must appear in exactly one layer.** The validator rejects an unassigned or
49
+ duplicated hunk. A file's hunks may be spread over several layers.
50
+ - At most one layer has `kind: "other"`, placed **last**. It collects mechanical or low-importance
51
+ hunks: imports, lockfiles, generated files, formatting, small tweaks to well-tested utilities.
52
+ Leave it out when the {{TARGET_WORD}} has no such hunks. Other has no `decisions`, `checkByHand`,
53
+ or risk tag, and its rationale is one sentence. A test file may sit in Other only when the code it
54
+ covers is in Other too.
55
+ - Test files go at the **end** of the layer whose code they cover, never in a layer of their own,
56
+ and into Other only together with the code they cover. This project counts a file as a test when
57
+ its path matches one of: {{TEST_PATTERNS}}.
58
+ - No empty layers. Set `defaultLayerId` when a layer derives from a default; add, split, or reorder
59
+ layers when the {{TARGET_WORD}} reads better that way. Two to eight layers is typical for a
60
+ {{TARGET_WORD}} of any size; see the size note below for a small one.
61
+ - Each layer's `key` is a short lowercase slug (`auth-session`); links use it.
62
+ - Annotations: up to six per file, and none is fine when the diff speaks for itself. Each is
63
+ anchored on lines inside one hunk of that layer on the side you name (`new` for added or
64
+ unchanged context lines at the head, `old` for deleted lines); any line inside the hunk works,
65
+ changed or not. Explain a non-obvious relationship, decision, or consequence at that location.
66
+ Let straightforward code speak for itself.
67
+
68
+ ## Size
69
+
70
+ {{SMALL_PR}}
71
+
72
+ ## Selective expansion
73
+
74
+ Keep the reading path focused by collapsing code that is already well understood and supported
75
+ by evidence you read. This changes its initial presentation only: every hunk stays assigned and
76
+ the reviewer can expand the full diff. Collapsing never marks code as reviewed.
77
+
78
+ - For a test case with meaningful assertions that cover its behavior, show the test title and
79
+ collapse its body. Keep weak assertions, important omissions, and tests that explain a decision open.
80
+ - Collapse straightforward, well-tested helpers, adapters, and conventional boilerplate when
81
+ there is no unresolved design choice, performance concern, or other non-functional requirement
82
+ to examine. A familiar pattern or a passing test name alone is insufficient evidence.
83
+ - Repeated mappings, wiring, fixtures, and generated sections can collapse when their behavior
84
+ and relevant checks are understood. Keep the representative example open if it teaches the
85
+ pattern; collapse repetitions that add no new decision.
86
+ - Keep security boundaries, destructive operations, ordering and concurrency rules, performance
87
+ assumptions, and other consequential behavior visible when they need the reviewer's attention.
88
+ Keep annotations, attention points, unresolved test gaps, and discussion visible.
89
+ - For an entire routine file, set its `collapsed` field to `true`. Its file header remains visible.
90
+ Keep tests with the feature they cover even when their bodies are collapsed; confidence is not
91
+ a reason to move meaningful behavior into Other.
92
+ - Within a file, use `folds`: `{ "title": "test or function/class title", "side": "new",
93
+ "startLine": 12, "endLine": 28 }`. Each range is inclusive and inside one assigned hunk.
94
+ The page shows only the title until expanded. Use `old` for a deletion; use one coordinate side
95
+ for all folds in a hunk, and keep ranges separate. Rows between the two anchors, including
96
+ interleaved deletions, are part of the fold. Pick boundaries that keep the whole change together.
97
+ Leave partial or ambiguous ranges open. A function spanning several hunks can use a separate
98
+ titled range in each hunk, or the whole file can start collapsed when appropriate.
99
+ - Generate no explanation or confidence score for a fold. The title is plain text. Use the actual test title or symbol
100
+ name when it fits. For a longer name, use a faithful excerpt with an ellipsis within the fold-title
101
+ cap, preserving the behavior and distinguishing condition. The full name remains in the expanded
102
+ code. Omit `collapsed` and `folds` where the code should start open.
103
+
104
+ ## Length rules
105
+
106
+ Caps, in characters of the text a reader sees: link targets, backticks, and code-fence lines do not
107
+ count, so `[the store](#hunk:packages/x/store.ts#2)` costs 9 characters. The validator rejects
108
+ anything longer. Each prose field's schema description states its visible-character cap;
109
+ `maxLength` only bounds raw Markdown, including link targets. Passing JSON Schema alone does not
110
+ check visible length. Draft below the visible caps, then run `validate --human --fix` before publish.
111
+
112
+ {{CAPS}}
113
+
114
+ In the two fields that draw a diagram, the summary and a layer rationale, the lines inside a
115
+ ```mermaid fence are not prose: they count toward the diagram cap alone, measured raw, and not
116
+ toward the field's own cap. A fence in any other field is an ordinary code block and counts like
117
+ the rest of that field's text.
118
+
119
+ One or two short sentences for rationales, notes, and annotations. Don't write mannered prose:
120
+ plain words, no flourishes, no throat-clearing. Markdown is fine; headings are not. Keep the summary
121
+ self-contained: explain the behavior change and the main relationship or decision that helps the
122
+ reviewer understand it. Links are welcome there too.
123
+
124
+ ## What each layer carries
125
+
126
+ - `rationale`: why these hunks belong together, how this layer fits into the change, and what to read first.
127
+ - File `note` and annotations: explain a non-obvious flow or rule and link it to the implementation.
128
+ Short pseudocode is useful when it makes a long algorithm easier to follow.
129
+ - Put every decision, trade-off, and manual check in `points`, using the rules below.
130
+ Omit the optional layer fields `decisions` and `checkByHand`; the reviewer tracks these items
131
+ through attention points. Keep the layer rationale and file notes focused on the reading path
132
+ and how the code works.
133
+ - `tests`: relevant behaviors with evidence for `covered`, `missing`, or `not-needed`.
134
+ `covered` needs assertions you read and a real `testPath` at the PR head, changed or unchanged.
135
+ Use `missing` for an important gap established by inspecting the relevant tests; every such entry
136
+ becomes an attention point on publish. Use `not-needed` for a behavior that needs no test, with
137
+ the reason in `note`. Omit uninspected behaviors; an empty test map is valid. Reading a test is
138
+ evidence of what it asserts, not evidence that it passed.
139
+
140
+ ## Attention points
141
+
142
+ At most {{MAX_POINTS}} per canvas, counting the ones missing tests will add. Each has a `kind`
143
+ (`decision`, `risk`, `drift`, `tests`, `debt`, `question`) and a `level` (`decide`, `check`, `fyi`).
144
+ State the observation, why it matters, and any decision or check the reviewer should make.
145
+ An `fyi` point can simply explain useful context. Anchor each on `path` and `line` inside a
146
+ hunk of the diff, on the head side unless you set `side: "old"`; any line inside the hunk works,
147
+ changed or not. Do not nitpick.
148
+
149
+ - Every decision or trade-off you surface gets a `kind: "decision"` point. Use `level: "fyi"`
150
+ to explain a chosen approach, its benefit and cost; use `level: "decide"` when human agreement
151
+ is needed. Label inferred rationale as an inference. Sound design choices belong here too.
152
+ - Build an inventory for each semantic layer before drafting: the consequential design choices
153
+ and their benefits and costs, the substantiated concerns, and the manual checks left by the
154
+ inspected test evidence. Populate `points` from that inventory first, then write the walkthrough.
155
+ Preserve useful choices and checks even when another concern competes for attention.
156
+ - For stored data, explain consequential schema choices such as copying derived values into
157
+ indexed columns: the query benefit, the consistency cost, and who keeps the values in sync.
158
+ For a data migration, inspect whether tests start with representative existing rows. If they
159
+ only migrate an empty schema, include a manual check on a populated copy, naming both the
160
+ rows that should change and those that should remain unchanged. A migration risk or an
161
+ automated-test gap alone does not describe how to perform that verification.
162
+ - Every manual verification you propose gets a `level: "check"` point with the appropriate
163
+ kind, such as `tests` or `risk`. State the action and the expected result, and explain what
164
+ the inspected tests leave unverified. An automated test gap recorded as `tests: missing`
165
+ already becomes a point on publish; do not duplicate that gap in `points`.
166
+ - Put the complete explanation in the point body. Rationales, notes, annotations, and the
167
+ summary may refer to the same code, but must not be the only place a decision or manual check
168
+ appears. Omit layer `decisions` and `checkByHand` to keep each item's explanation in one place.
169
+ - Plan the point budget before writing. Reserve room for points generated by missing tests.
170
+ Combine related decisions or checks only when they concern the same code and can be reviewed
171
+ together; a decision and its verification can share a `decision` / `check` point. Keep every
172
+ action and expected result explicit. Trim optional background before
173
+ dropping a decision or check, and never move an item into prose to evade the cap.
174
+ - Before writing the JSON, read every prose field once more. For each decision, trade-off, or
175
+ requested manual check, identify its attention point in the same layer. Move any unmatched
176
+ item into a point. Also compare the points with the inventory: deleting a layer paragraph must
177
+ not delete its decision or check. Confirm `decisions` and `checkByHand` are absent from every layer.
178
+
179
+ ## Risk
180
+
181
+ The project marks these paths as high blast radius; the publish step tags a layer that touches
182
+ one and the header lists the union:
183
+
184
+ {{HIGH_RISK}}
185
+
186
+ You may add a tag to a layer with `risk: [{ "label", "reason" }]` when the change deserves one.
187
+ Other may carry no risk tag.
188
+
189
+ ## Diagrams
190
+
191
+ A layer may carry one diagram in its `diagram` field: `{ "mermaid": "<source>", "links": {} }`,
192
+ where `links` sends a node of the drawing to a place in this canvas (see Node links below). A
193
+ ```mermaid fence in the layer's rationale draws one too, and the summary may hold one fence. At
194
+ most {{MAX_DIAGRAMS}} diagram per layer, counting the field and a fence in the rationale together,
195
+ and {{MAX_DIAGRAMS}} in the summary. A fence anywhere else (decisions, check by hand, a note, an
196
+ annotation, an attention point) stays a code block.
197
+
198
+ - Draw only when the relations between parts beat prose. Most layers need no diagram, and most
199
+ canvases need zero to two in total; three or more is a sign prose would have done.
200
+ - `sequenceDiagram` for a flow across three or more parties, `stateDiagram-v2` for a state
201
+ machine, `erDiagram` for a schema change, `flowchart` otherwise.
202
+ - Keep node labels to a few words. The diagram is read next to the rationale, not instead of it.
203
+ - No `click` directives and no HTML in labels: the page renders with mermaid's strict security
204
+ level, which drops them, and it supplies the theme.
205
+ - No `%%{init}%%` blocks and no `---` front matter: the page refuses to draw a diagram that sets
206
+ mermaid options and shows its source instead. The page supplies the theme.
207

213

214

215
+ ### Node links
216
+
217
+ `links` maps a node of the source to one of the four link forms, so a reader clicks the node and
218
+ lands on the code it stands for. A value may be any of the four forms: `#layer:`, `#file:`,
219
+ `#hunk:`, or `#line:`. Write the node id exactly as the source spells it, not its label.
220
+
221
+ Link a node when a reviewer clicking it should land on the code that implements it. A node that
222
+ names a downstream consequence, or a system outside this change set, gets no link. At most
223
+ {{MAX_DIAGRAM_LINKS}} links per diagram, and `"links": {}` is the right answer when no node of
224
+ the drawing has a home in this diff. The validator rejects a key that is not a node of the source
225
+ and a value that does not resolve.
226
+
227
+ Where the node id sits, one type at a time:
228
+
229
+ - flowchart: `ingest[Ingest] --> store[(Storage)]` names `ingest` and `store`, never the label in
230
+ the brackets. Links: `{ "store": "#file:src/storage.ts" }`.
231
+ - sequence: `participant App as Intake App` names `App`, never the name after `as`. Links:
232
+ `{ "App": "#layer:intake" }`.
233
+ - state: `active --> purged: blobs deleted` names `active` and `purged`, never the text after the
234
+ colon; `[*]` is not a node. Links: `{ "purged": "#hunk:src/retention.ts#1" }`.
235
+ - ER: `SHL ||--o{ SHL_FILE : holds` names `SHL` and `SHL_FILE`, never an attribute inside the
236
+ entity block. Links: `{ "SHL_FILE": "#file:prisma/schema.prisma" }`.
237
+
238
+ ## Links
239
+
240
+ Four forms, in any markdown field. Link a layer, a file, a hunk, or lines whenever you name one.
241
+ The validator rejects a link that does not resolve.
242
+
243
+ - `#layer:<layerKey>` — `[auth](#layer:auth-session)`
244
+ - `#file:<path>` — `[the store](#file:packages/x/store.ts)`
245
+ - `#hunk:<path>#<n>` — `[the retry loop](#hunk:packages/x/store.ts#2)`
246
+ - `#line:<path>:<start>[-<end>][:old]` — `[lines 40–52](#line:packages/x/store.ts:40-52)`,
247
+ `[the deleted check](#line:packages/x/store.ts:12:old)`
248
+
249
+ ## Output
250
+
251
+ Write `<model>` (`{{MODEL_PATH}}`) as JSON matching this schema, then run the publish command the skill gives
252
+ you. When publish prints a report, fix the named problems in the file and publish again, at most
253
+ {{MAX_REPAIR_ROUNDS}} times.

1
+ # Review canvas for a {{TARGET_WORD}}
2
+
3
+ Build a visual walkthrough that reads like a peer explaining the PR, and review the code while you
4
+ build it. Help the reviewer understand the code well enough to own it: what changed, how the parts
5
+ cooperate, why the design takes this shape, what they will need to know when maintaining it, and
6
+ what does not hold up.
7
+
8
+ Build the reading path around these questions, using only the fields that help for this PR:
9
+
10
+ - What changes for a user or a caller? Start with a concrete before/after example when useful.
11
+ - How does one important request or state transition move through the changed parts? Link the
12
+ entry point, the owning module, and the resulting effect. A diagram or short pseudocode can
13
+ explain a long implementation; keep the real diff available through links.
14
+ - Which decisions should the reviewer understand or agree with? Describe the chosen approach,
15
+ its benefit, its cost, and when the trade-off would need to be revisited. Distinguish a rationale
16
+ documented by the author from an inference you make from code. Mention alternatives only when
17
+ they clarify a real choice; do not invent rejected designs or author intent.
18
+ - What gives confidence in the behavior? Point to the relevant test assertions, checks in the
19
+ code, and explicit limits. Map evidence you actually read rather than conducting an exhaustive
20
+ coverage audit. An uninspected behavior is not a missing test or a `not-needed` test.
21
+ - What does the next maintainer need to remember? Surface ownership boundaries, ordering rules,
22
+ failure behavior, operational assumptions, and the places to change when requirements evolve.
23
+
24
+ ## Audit the change as you read it
25
+
26
+ Explaining the change is half the task. The other half is judging it. Work through the diff with
27
+ the bundled standards below and the project rulebook, and report a small number of well-supported
28
+ problems. Tie each one to concrete code, its consequence, and the condition under which the design
29
+ is acceptable. An empty list is a valid result; a padded list is not.
30
+
31
+ Give particular weight to these, because a walkthrough reads past them easily:
32
+
33
+ - **Claims against implementation.** A README sentence, a comment, a constant's name, and the PR
34
+ description each state a guarantee. The constants, configuration files, schedules, limits,
35
+ timeouts, and error paths in the diff either deliver it or they do not. Read the value next to
36
+ the claim. A guarantee that holds only under conditions the deployment does not promise is a
37
+ defect: name the claim, the value that breaks it, and the consequence.
38
+ - **Values that must relate to each other.** A period, a window, a timeout, a retention, a batch
39
+ size, and a schedule are chosen against one another. Two values that meet exactly, or in the
40
+ wrong order, make the behavior depend on timing the system does not control.
41
+ - **Structure.** Consequential drift, debt, and complexity the change adds rather than deletes.
42
+
43
+ Use `decide` for a choice requiring agreement or a substantiated problem that needs resolution,
44
+ `check` for a concrete verification, and `fyi` for useful context. Use layer rationales and file
45
+ notes to explain the reading path and code flow. Put every decision, trade-off, and specific human
46
+ verification in an attention point, including sound choices the reviewer should understand.
47
+ A trade-off is not automatically a defect. Do not repeat automated lint
48
+ findings, turn style preferences into merge requirements, manufacture concerns, or give a merge
49
+ verdict. Avoid copying the same observation into several fields.
50
+
51
+ Write one JSON file grouping the diff into semantic layers, linked explanations, and attention
52
+ points. A deterministic validator checks the file; a web page renders it. Write no prose outside
53
+ the JSON file.

+ description: Generate a review canvas for a GitHub pull request (or two refs) with the pr-review tool. Runs `pr-review prepare`, writes the layered model.json the prompt asks for, and runs `pr-review publish` until the validator passes. Use when the user runs `/pr-review-canvas <pr-number>`, `/pr-review-canvas --base <ref> --head <ref>`, or asks for a review canvas for a PR.

9
+ You produce one JSON file that groups a pull request's diff into semantic layers with attention
10
+ points, and hand it to the `pr-review` CLI. The CLI does the deterministic work (fetching, diffs,
11
+ validation, storage); you do the reading and the writing of `model.json`. Nothing here checks out
12
+ a branch or writes outside the canvas directory.
13
+
14
+ Arguments: `<pr-number> [--force]` or `--base <ref> --head <ref> [--force]`. `--force` regenerates
15
+ a canvas that already exists for the head commit: prepare removes the old `model.json` and any
16
+ other leftovers from the canvas directory, keeping `derived/`, `publish.log` (the attempts history),
17
+ and the published `review.json` + `manifest.json` (the page keeps showing the old canvas until your
18
+ publish replaces it), so you start a fresh `model.json`. Run every `pr-review` command from the
19
+ repository root.
20
+
21
+ ## Flow
22
+
23
+ ### Model choice
24
+
25
+ Claude Code defaults this skill to Sonnet. If the prepared diff changes authentication, access
26
+ policy, or protected health information (PHI) handling, use an Opus agent for the generation and
27
+ validation steps when available. Pass it the prepared prompt and context paths; it writes the
28
+ same model file. Honor an explicit user model choice. Other hosts keep their selected model.
29
+ Record the model that actually generated the canvas when publishing.
30
+
31
+ ### 1. Prepare
32
+
33
+ ```bash
34
+ pr-review prepare --pr <n> [--force]
35
+ # or, before a PR exists:
36
+ pr-review prepare --base <ref> --head <ref> [--force]
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ Progress goes to stderr. The last stdout line is JSON:
40
+
41
+ ```json
42
+ { "canvasDir": "...", "headSha": "...", "mergeBaseSha": "...", "promptPath": "...", "contextPath": "...", "status": "prepared" }
43
+ ```
44
+
45
+ - `status: "exists"` means a canvas already exists for this head. Stop and tell the user:
46
+ "canvas already exists for <headSha>; run with --force to regenerate".
47
+ - A line of the form `{ "error": { "code", "message", "hint" } }` means prepare failed. Report the
48
+ code, message, and hint verbatim and stop. `pr-review doctor` names which of git, origin,
49
+ `gh`, the data dir, and the skill install is missing.
50
+
51
+ ### 2. Read the task
52
+
53
+ Read `promptPath` in full: it holds the pull request, the manifest with every hunk id, the diffs
54
+ (inline or by file path), the layering and length rules, the rulebook, and the JSON schema. Read
55
+ `contextPath` when you need the paths of the head files, the base files, or the patches. Read any
56
+ untouched file with `git show <headSha>:<path>` from the repository root, using the SHA returned
57
+ by prepare. The working tree may be on another branch. Do not check anything out.
58
+
59
+ ### 3. Write model.json
60
+
61
+ Write `<canvasDir>/model.json` matching the schema in the prompt. Write JSON only; no prose in the
62
+ file, no comments, no markdown fence.
63
+
64
+ Prefer the host's file-writing tool (such as Write) for the canvas directory reported by prepare.
65
+ Shell heredocs may be blocked by write guards when that directory is under the user's home.
66
+
67
+ ### 4. Check before publishing
68
+
69
+ ```bash
70
+ pr-review validate <canvasDir>/model.json --canvas <canvasDir> --human --fix
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ Same checks the publish step runs. It prints `ok: model.json passes against <n> files`, or one
74
+ line per problem in the same form publish uses. Fix what it names and run it again until it says ok.
75
+
76
+ `--fix` first shortens the titles that are over their cap, by dropping the explainer after the
77
+ first `:` or `—`, and writes the file back. Each one is reported as
78
+ `fixed <where>: "<before>" -> "<after>"`; read them, since the shortened title is what publishes.
79
+ A title with nothing to drop is left alone for you to rewrite. Prose is never cut for you: an
80
+ over-cap rationale, note, or body reports where the cap falls in your own words
81
+ (`what fits ends at "..."`), and the rewrite is yours.
82
+
83
+ Run this before every publish, including after a repair. A publish round-trip costs more than this
84
+ command, and length caps are the usual reason a publish is rejected: they are measured on the text
85
+ a reader sees, which you cannot count reliably while writing.
86
+
87
+ ### 5. Publish
88
+
89
+ ```bash
90
+ pr-review publish <canvasDir> --agent <your agent id> --model <model id if you know it> --harness <claude-code|codex|other>
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ - `--agent`: a free-text id of the agent product you are: `claude`, `codex`, `gemini`, ...
94
+ - `--model`: the model id when you know it (`claude-opus-4-1`, `gpt-5`, ...); omit it otherwise.
95
+ - `--harness`: `claude-code` when you run inside Claude Code, `codex` inside Codex, `other`
96
+ anywhere else.
97
+
98
+ On success the last line is `{ "status": "published", "headSha", "reviewJsonPath", "attempts",
99
+ "reviewUrl" }` (`reviewUrl` is absent for a `--base/--head` run).
100
+
101
+ On failure the command prints one line per problem, then an error line, and exits 5:
102
+
103
+ ```
104
+ HUNK_UNASSIGNED packages_x_ts#3 in packages/x.ts (@@ -40,7 +41,9 @@) is in no layer

107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ Fix exactly the named problems in `model.json` and run publish again. Give up after the number of
110
+ failed rounds the prompt states (`maxRepairRounds`, 3 by default) and report the last output
111
+ verbatim. Do not weaken the content to pass: shorten text, move hunks, fix links.
112
+
113
+ If publish prints `CANVAS_STALE`, the branch moved while you worked. Tell the user and offer to run
114
+ prepare again; pass `--allow-stale` only when the user asks for the canvas of the old commit.
115
+
116
+ ### 6. Export the zip
117
+
118
+ ```bash
119
+ pr-review export --head <headSha> [--pr <n>]
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ Pass `--pr <n>` when the run had a PR number, so the file name and the manifest carry it. The
123
+ command prints one JSON line with the absolute `path` of the zip.
124
+
125
+ ### 7. Finish
126
+
127
+ For a PR run, report the `reviewUrl` from publish, the absolute zip path from export, and a link
128
+ to the GitHub PR from the prepared context. End with upload instructions:
129
+
130
+ > The canvas is ready at <reviewUrl> (start the server with `pr-review serve` if it is not running).
131
+ > ZIP: <path>
132
+ > If you're happy with the produced canvas, open <PR URL>, edit the PR description, drag the ZIP
133
+ > into the editor, wait for the upload to finish, and save.
134
+
135
+ For an update, tell the user to replace the old canvas attachment link with the new one.
136
+ Include these instructions in the final response without asking a question or waiting for a reply.
137
+
138
+ Uploading and saving the description are manual browser steps. Do not create a release or claim
139
+ the ZIP was uploaded. GitHub's `gh --attach` supports images and video, but not ZIP files
140
+ ([supported types](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/internal/attachments/userasset.go)).
141
+
142
+ For a `--base/--head` run, say the canvas is stored for `<headSha>`, that the zip has no PR number
143
+ yet, and that `pr-review export --pr <n>` re-exports it once the pull request exists. Include the
144
+ manual upload instructions for when the PR is ready.
145
+
146
+ ## Rules the validator enforces (and models tend to break)
147
+
148
+ - Every hunk id from the manifest appears in exactly one layer. Check the manifest against your
149
+ layers before you publish; a missed hunk is the most common failure.
150
+ - At most one layer with `kind: "other"`, last when present, and omitted when there are no
151
+ mechanical hunks. It carries no risk tag. A test file may sit in Other only when the code it covers
152
+ is in Other too.
153
+ - A small change set (the prompt states the hunk limit) gets one layer unless concerns truly differ.
154
+ - Test files come after the files they cover, inside the same layer, never in a layer of their own.
155
+ The prompt's layering rules name the path patterns this project counts as tests; they are the
156
+ ones the validator uses.
157
+ - Every text is within its cap, measured on the text a reader sees (link targets and backticks do
158
+ not count). Rationales, notes, and annotations are one or two short sentences.
159
+ - At most 12 attention points, counting one per `missing` test entry.
160
+ - `covered` test entries name a `testPath` that exists at the PR head (changed or not).
161
+ - Annotations and attention points sit on lines inside a hunk, on the side you name.
162
+ - Links use only the four forms `#layer:`, `#file:`, `#hunk:`, `#line:` and must resolve.
163
+ - At most one diagram per layer (its `diagram` field plus a ```mermaid fence in its rationale)
164
+ and one in the summary; a fence in any other field stays a code block. Draw only when relations
165
+ beat prose and most canvases need zero to two diagrams in total, keep labels short, and write no
166
+ `click` directives, HTML labels, `%%{init}%%` blocks, or `---` front matter.
167
+ - `diagram.links` maps a node id of the source to a canvas link, at most 12 per diagram. Spell the
168
+ node id the way the source spells it (`store`, not the label in its brackets; `App`, not the
169
+ name after `as`), and link only nodes that stand for a layer, a file, or a hunk of this canvas.
170
+ - Markdown is allowed; headings are not. No prose outside the JSON file.
171
+
172
+ ## Updating a shared canvas
173
+
174
+ After new commits, run this skill again for the PR number. Add `--force` to regenerate a canvas
175
+ for the same commit. Export the new zip and ask the user to replace the attachment in their PR
176
+ description. Reviewers click **refresh** to load it. A canvas for a different
177
+ PR head shows **Canvas is outdated**; an older canvas remains readable with posting disabled.
