| Input | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
pr | Yes | Pull request number to review. Substituted for {{PR_NUMBER}} throughout this skill and the shared guide. |
investigation-root | No | Preferred directory for large temporary work such as detached worktrees, extracted archives, build trees, example builds, installs, caches, and other investigation artifacts. Final review deliverables are not investigation artifacts and must still be written under reviews/ in the caller's current directory. When omitted, infer a short same-drive investigations location if that is clear; otherwise ask the user. Do not use the Copilot session directory or an arbitrary long temp path. |
review-depth | No | One of no-examples, examples, or examples-and-patches. Default to no-examples. |
Example invocations

Review requirements
Check out the PR in a detached worktree or equivalent detached-HEAD workspace, and copy vcpkg.exe (Windows) or vcpkg (non-Windows) into it. For example, after git worktree add D:\vcpkg2 origin/master, copy .\vcpkg.exe to D:\vcpkg2. Do not switch branches or run mutable review steps in the caller's current working tree. Then apply the review process as described in .github/skills/shared/review-vcpkg-pr-guide.md.
Be sure to read all of .github/skills/shared/review-vcpkg-pr-guide.md
Required outputs
Write all final deliverables under reviews/pr-{{PR_NUMBER}} in the caller's current directory, not under investigation-root. Find out what these mean from review-vcpkg-pr-guide.md.
