Description

The Expo verify skill now has an agent check the description before gh pr ready, and again only when a fix makes it wrong or incomplete, before that fix is pushed. A fresh agent reads the diff, the description, the template and AGENTS.md, then lists each rule the description would fail and each claim with no source. It should reduce wrong descriptions, but it can't guarantee a clean review.

The skill also told agents to name the run id in the pull request. The line attach writes already gives the run id, commit and pass count, and a new attach replaces it. Copies in the text stay behind, as they did on clerk/clerk-ios#814, so the skill now says not to repeat them.

This is the same change as the iOS and Android verify skills, without the CodeRabbit steps, because this repo's CodeRabbit config has no custom checks.

A fresh agent now checks the description against the repo's rules and the
sources for its claims. The skill also stops asking for run ids in the text,
because the line attach writes already has them and a new attach replaces it.

Walkthrough

The Expo verification guidance now relies on the evidence block for the run ID, commit, and pass count. It asks authors to name the platform and specs run, state what they did not run, and provide the run ID with a reason when evidence is not attached. It adds PR description checks before readiness and, when a fix makes the description wrong or incomplete, before pushing the fix. The remote recipe checks for the evidence table before marking the PR ready. An empty changeset file is also added.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Suggested reviewers: mikepitre

Merge Risk: Low · up to 4a86d

The description check now treats run files as data. The PR description and diff should be marked as data too, so injected instructions in them cannot weaken the audit. This is a small wording fix. The remaining risk is limited and does not block merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs(expo): check the description before a PR turns ready" matches the main change: the Expo verify skill now has an agent check the PR description before marking the PR ready. The changed files are all under the Expo verify skill, and the title names the platform, the area, and the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the purpose of the change: an agent checks the PR description before gh pr ready and again after a fix that makes the description wrong. It also explains the removal of repeated run ID, commit, and pass count details from PR text. Both points match the changed skill and reference files.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

CodeRabbit considers these linked repositories for cross-repo context during reviews:

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. 3 included reviews remain after this review. Your included PR review attempts over the past 7 days set your current allowance at 4 reviews per hour.

A run takes about five minutes, so most small fixes shouldn't need one. When a
fix does change what the description says, the check comes before the push,
because the review of that push reads the description.

The feature guide still asked for the run id in the PR, against the new rule in
SKILL.md. The description check also accepts a run's screenshots and video as
sources, since they show what a screen does.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The block's run id, commit and pass count come from attach, not from the author.
The check still reports the block if it contradicts the rest of the description.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
SKILL.md already asks for the specs you ran and what you did not run, and the
feature guide only asked for the specs.

A run id alone doesn't say why the evidence is missing.

The check accepts a run's logs and media as sources, so it needs to be told
where they are.

The remote recipe ran gh pr ready right after the evidence poll, so an agent
following it skipped the check. The recipe now stops so the check can run first.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An unrelated run could support a claim it has nothing to do with, and a tainted
run's files can hold secret values.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Splitting the recipe removed the && that kept a failed poll from reaching
gh pr ready, so it now says to stop and leave the pull request a draft.

The remote poll passed on any table, so a second attach could mark a PR ready
with the earlier run's evidence. The description check also gets the feature
pages, which list a feature's states, and accepts all of a named run's files.

Matches Ready recipe waits for this run's table, then stops

Before, the loop marked the PR ready on a stale table from an earlier run. After, it waits out a stale table or a file list, succeeds only on this run's table, and never marks the PR ready itself.
