What changes, and why

The README opened with the pit-crew image and left a first-time reader to work out what the thing actually is. The intro now states it plainly - three review agents, installed as GitHub Actions workflows, run on your own LLM endpoint, giving a bug review, a security review and a recorded acceptance test - and the metaphor follows as the picture rather than the definition.

Two new sections carry what the old text only implied:

  • What a pull request looks like with this installed walks one pull request from the first push through the re-review to the acceptance test's criteria table and video, so the output is visible before any YAML.
  • Who this is for names the four situations this fits: a team without a second reviewer, one paying a hosted bot more than it explains, one that has to answer for where its code goes, and one whose issues carry acceptance criteria.

## What you get becomes ## How the output behaves, because the new walk-through answers what you get and that section never did - it is about the properties that make the output usable. The acceptance-test section gained one sentence naming what it leaves behind, since the video was previously mentioned only in a table cell.

Text only. No code, no workflow, no configuration changes.

Agent behaviour

  • This changes a prompt, an agent manifest or a permission profile

No prompt, manifest or profile is touched.

Documentation

  • docs/ is up to date, or not affected

docs/ is unaffected; every existing link from the README still points where it did.

How it was verified

node --test (133 passing), node scripts/check-syntax.mjs and node scripts/release.mjs --verify all pass. actions/agent/action.yml is not touched, so the self-review caveat does not apply. The new prose was also run through a copy check for stock LLM phrasing; the two dash-as-separator hits it found were rewritten.


Generated by Claude Code

The first lines described a pit crew and left the reader to work out
that this is three GitHub Actions workflows, run on their own endpoint,
that put a bug review, a security review and a recorded acceptance test
on their pull requests. They now say that, and the pit crew follows as
the picture rather than the definition.

Two sections carry what the old text only implied. One walks a pull
request from the first push to the acceptance test's video, so the
output is visible before any YAML. The other names who this is for: a
team without a second reviewer, one paying a hosted bot more than it
explains, one that has to answer for where its code goes, and one whose
issues carry acceptance criteria.

"What you get" becomes "How the output behaves", because the new
walk-through answers what you get and that section never did: it is
about the properties that make the output usable.

"One file in your repository. That is the whole installation." described
the bug review and quietly implied the other two came with it. It is now
one file per agent, which is still the whole of that agent's
installation, because the scripts, the prompts and the permission
profiles stay in the package.

The endpoint, the key and the model are configured once for all three,
and the closing paragraph says what the other two files cost: a name for
the security review, and for the acceptance test a different trigger and
two variables of its own.
