What changed

  • Replace legacy hidden -t review selectors with the public --committed and --uncommitted options.
  • Keep the default scope flag-free so it reviews tracked changes.
  • Clarify that --dir may target a directory inside an initialized Git working tree.
  • Remove the separate authentication preflight and let the review command start its built-in auth flow when needed.
  • Apply the same contract to the canonical skill, Claude command and agent guidance, README, and unreleased changelog.

Why

CodeRabbit CLI 0.7 uses named public scope options, supports reviewing a subdirectory within a larger repository, and authenticates automatically when a review starts. Installed skills and native plugin guidance should rely on that public behavior.

This deliberately does not include the open skill-collision rename or other unrelated changes.

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • Verified command mapping:
    • all -> review --agent
    • committed -> review --agent --committed
    • uncommitted -> review --agent --uncommitted
  • Confirmed no remaining --plain, legacy -t invocation, standalone-repository requirement, or manual auth preflight in the distributed review guidance.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Review commands now support committed and uncommitted change scopes.
    • Authentication starts automatically from the review command when required.
    • Directory reviews are supported for paths inside initialized Git worktrees.
  • Improvements
    • Updated review guidance and examples to clarify supported review types and usage.
    • Installation checks are now separated from authentication requirements.
    • Unsupported review types are rejected with clearer validation.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The review command now uses --committed and --uncommitted, rejects unsupported review types, and relies on built-in authentication. The code-review skill defaults to tracked changes and requires directory paths inside initialized Git worktrees. README, workflow, and changelog guidance now describe these behaviors.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a review,
Hopping through flags fresh and new.
Worktrees stand clear,
Auth flows appear,
And clean diffs shine in the queue.
