Pull request risk review agent blueprint.

Review a proposed change against its tests, ownership boundaries, and operational risk before a maintainer merges it.

01 · the contract

Start from a bounded job, not a blank chat box.

trigger

A pull request is marked ready for review.

owner

engineering owner

agent stops at

A repository maintainer decides whether to merge or request changes.

KPI · increase

reviewed defects found before merge (defects). Count accepted findings resolved before merge.

inputs

Evidence the run may read

  • Patch and changed-file list
  • Repository guidance
  • Test and ownership metadata
outputs

Artifacts the run must produce

  • Risk-ranked findings
  • Missing-test checklist
  • Merge recommendation
02 · topology

Small specialists. Named handoffs. One accountable decision.

Each stage produces an artifact another stage can inspect. The final node is a person, not an autonomous write to an external system.

  1. 01

    intake

    Validate and normalize the pull request risk review inputs.

  2. 02

    change analyst

    Produce the risk-ranked findings.

  3. 03

    test reviewer

    Produce the missing-test checklist.

  4. 04

    maintainer reviewer

    Challenge the pull request risk review result and prepare an approval packet.

  5. 05

03 · authority

Grant the run only what this case needs.

Source material is read-only. Drafts land in a case-specific output path. Tools may read or propose; the human gate owns the external write.

read

case inputs

workspace/engineering/pull-request-risk-review/inputs/**

Read only the evidence attached to this workflow instance.

write-output

case outputs

workspace/engineering/pull-request-risk-review/outputs/**

Write drafts and evidence artifacts without modifying source records.

invoke-scoped-tool

approved tools

engineering:pull-request-risk-review:read-or-propose

Invoke only tools explicitly granted for this run; external writes remain gated.

required human decision

A repository maintainer decides whether to merge or request changes.

Decision owner: engineering owner.

04 · implementation

A private, bounded starting manifest.

The blueprint starts private, caps its DAG, disables replanning, and exposes no public endpoint. Add only the tools and data adapters this workflow has approved.

Pass only with evidence.

  1. 01

    Evidence traceability

    Every material conclusion cites an input artifact or a scoped tool result from this run.

  2. 02

    Every blocking finding points to a changed line, violated invariant, or missing verification step.

    Every blocking finding points to a changed line, violated invariant, or missing verification step.

  3. 03

    Approval boundary

    The run stops at a proposal and records the human decision before any external side effect.

failure containment

Stop small. Preserve the evidence.

The patch is too large or generated context omits a dependency required for review.

Containment: Return a partial result with unresolved items; do not broaden scope or perform an external write.

Operator: Attach the missing evidence, narrow the brief, or explicitly approve a new scoped run.

A required input or tool grant is unavailable.

Containment: Stop the affected branch and preserve completed artifacts in the case output workspace.

Operator: Grant only the missing resource or continue with that branch marked out of scope.

06 · proof

Sign the run facts. Keep money in the billing ledger.

Current platform receipts sign caller identity or classification, skill, bounded input evidence, verified grant IDs when present, outcome or result preview, and timing. Optional file, tool, artifact, handoff, evaluation, and review fields require separate instrumentation and are not populated by default. Price, fees, payouts, and later human approvals remain separate platform records.

The example uses only fields populated by the current platform sealing paths. It is illustrative, not a record of a real customer run.

put the pattern to work

Start private. Scope the authority. Require the decision.

Deploy the workflow as a bounded internal agent, verify its outputs and the receipt fields actually emitted, then expand only the scopes your acceptance test proves it needs.
