I Built an Agent That Actually Reviews Your Pull Requests

SMRTR summary

Hermes PR Investigator is a custom Hermes Agent skill that replaces shallow diff summaries with a real 5-phase autonomous code review: discovery, analysis, validation, cross-referencing, and reporting. Tested on a real merged PR, it traced dependencies, checked pre-existing CI failures, found zero orphan references, and caught a DRY refactoring opportunity human reviewers missed — all without manual prompting.
