Command Reference

This page is for users who need the canonical PRFlow command and availability matrix. A command is the text you enter. It invokes a PRFlow skill, whose documented behavior is called a workflow in these guides.

Client Syntax

Replace <skill> with the command name from the matrix.

Client or Surface	Syntax
Claude Code	`/prflow:<skill> [arguments]`
GitHub Copilot CLI	`/prflow/<skill> [arguments]`
Codex CLI	`$prflow:<skill> [arguments]`
GitHub comment	`/prflow:<skill> [arguments]`

All public commands support the three local clients above. GitHub-comment availability is limited to the rows marked Supported.

GitHub Comment Boundary

Fresh installations ship comment automation for implement and manual review. A repository collaborator must issue the command on the relevant issue or pull request. Automatic pull-request-triggered review is not included in fresh installations. PRFlow prepares review-ready work. No command merges a pull request.
