Add pr-nitpick-reviewer workflow adapted from github/gh-aw, providing fine-grained on-demand code review via /nit slash command. Catches issues linters miss: inconsistent naming, unclear variables, magic numbers, misleading comments, excessive nesting, and more. Complements the existing Grumpy Reviewer with a lighter, advisory review style. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

PR Nitpick Reviewer
Source:
github/gh-aw/.github/workflows/pr-nitpick-reviewer.mdWhy it's valuable: Every repository benefits from a fine-grained code style reviewer that catches the subtle issues automated linters overlook — inconsistent naming conventions, magic numbers, unclear variable names, misleading comments, unnecessarily deep nesting, and similar code quality concerns. The PR Nitpick Reviewer is triggered on-demand by the
/nitslash command and posts up to 10 inline review comments with clear explanations, submitted as a non-blockingCOMMENTreview. It also uses cache memory to maintain consistent standards across reviews of the same repository, learning the project's conventions over time.Generalization plan:
create-discussionsafe output — the original uses discussions for a "daily summary report", butgithubnext/agenticshas discussions disabled; the summary is instead included in thesubmit-pull-request-reviewbodyshared/reporting.mdimport (available in this repo)cache-memoryfor cross-review consistencyProposed name:
pr-nitpick-reviewerRelationship to existing workflows: Complements the existing Grumpy Reviewer. Grumpy focuses on deep opinionated analysis of real problems (security, performance, bad patterns). The Nitpick Reviewer zooms in on the subtle polish — the small improvements that accumulate into a high-quality codebase.
