prpack Pro — code review presets for AI

🆕 prpack v0.2.0 just shipped with native --review [angle] mode that calls Anthropic and streams the review for you. The four review angles below are now inlined into the CLI. This Pro Pack still ships the .prpack.yml config flavor for users who prefer config-driven workflows. Release notes.

prpack is a free, open-source CLI (github.com/Lucas2944/prpack) that packs a pull request into one markdown file optimized for LLM code review.

The CLI does the assembly: walks the diff, includes the full post-change content of every touched file, formats it so the model can actually reason about what didn't change but matters.

This Pro Pack adds four review-style presets — security, performance, tests, architecture — plus a one-page workflow guide. Drop a preset into your repo with --config and the model gets a tuned reviewer instead of a generic LGTM machine.

Here's the kind of bug the technique catches that a raw-diff review misses:

A refactor extracts a reduce() into a helper. Three-line diff, looks safe. Two lines below the diff hunk (outside what your model sees in a unified diff) is .customer.email.toLowerCase() on a typed-nullable customer. Latent null-deref reachable on the next bad input. Reproducible side-by-side: github.com/Lucas2944/prpack/tree/main/examples/invoice-refactor — paste each context into Claude yourself and see the difference.

What's inside:

• security.prpack.yml — auth/authz, input validation, secrets, injection
• performance.prpack.yml — N+1, hot-path allocations, unbounded work
• tests.prpack.yml — coverage gaps, weak assertions, missing edge cases
• architecture.prpack.yml — boundary drift, premature abstraction, coupling
• WORKFLOW.md — how to use them, when to run all four

Free or pay-what-you-want. Pay-what-you-want is real — $0 downloads work. If $5 of value lands, $5 is appreciated.

The CLI is and stays MIT-licensed and free. The presets are the optional convenience layer.

Install (CLI):

npx github:Lucas2944/prpack --out ctx.md

Paste ctx.md into Claude / Cursor / your model. Ask for review.
