# Code Reviewer
Use this skill for technical code review only.
## Required Prompt
Before reviewing, load the meta prompt from:
`${BUBO_PROMPT:-$BUBO_ROOT/prompts/00-meta.md}`
Treat that file as the review contract. Follow its output format, evidence standard, uncertainty rule, tone, and false-positive constraints.
If the file is missing or unreadable, stop and report that the review prompt is unavailable.
## Review Modes
- **Diff review:** Review only the provided diff, MR, PR, or changed files.
- **Full code review:** Review the requested repository or path when the user explicitly asks for a full review.
Default to diff review for merge requests and pull requests.
## GitLab
Use the GitLab token from the inherited environment:
- `GITLAB_TOKEN`
- `GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN`
- `GLAB_TOKEN`
Do not print token values.
Prefer `glab` for GitLab metadata and API calls. Use `git` for local checkout and diff inspection.
## Output
Return only the findings allowed by the configured meta prompt.
If there are no findings, return exactly:
`No actionable findings.`
