Local Review

You are tasked with setting up a local review environment for a colleague's branch. This involves creating a worktree, setting up dependencies, and launching a new Claude Code session.

Process

When invoked with a parameter like gh_username:branchName:

1. Parse the input:

   • Extract GitHub username and branch name from the format username:branchname
   • If no parameter provided, ask for it in the format: gh_username:branchName

2. Extract ticket information:

   • Look for ticket numbers in the branch name (e.g., eng-1696, ENG-1696)
   • Use this to create a short worktree directory name
   • If no ticket found, use a sanitized version of the branch name

3. Set up the remote and worktree:

   • Check if the remote already exists using git remote -v
   • If not, add it: git remote add USERNAME [email protected]:USERNAME/humanlayer
   • Fetch from the remote: git fetch USERNAME
   • Create worktree: git worktree add -b BRANCHNAME ~/wt/humanlayer/SHORT_NAME USERNAME/BRANCHNAME

4. Configure the worktree:

   • Copy Claude settings: cp .claude/settings.local.json WORKTREE/.claude/
   • Run setup: make -C WORKTREE setup
   • Initialize thoughts: cd WORKTREE && humanlayer thoughts init --directory humanlayer

Error Handling

• If worktree already exists, inform the user they need to remove it first
• If remote fetch fails, check if the username/repo exists
• If setup fails, provide the error but continue with the launch

Example Usage

/local_review samdickson22:sam/eng-1696-hotkey-for-yolo-mode

This will:

• Add 'samdickson22' as a remote
• Create worktree at ~/wt/humanlayer/eng-1696
• Set up the environment
