Skill and UI kit to understand PRs faster

Everyone reviews PRs differently but I've personally started relying more on visualisations to get an initial sense of what's happening. So this is my attempt at a skill and a UI kit to help me understand PRs faster. Bugbots help find bugs, but the primary purpose of reviews is to build shared understanding!

I'd love to get HN's take on this :)
Another cause of burnout for us was noisy bot comments on top of diffs that already look AI-written. We only want findings we would actually act on.
I checked your skill and looks really good, however I find it to be very complex already, we do many PRs and maybe visualizing graphs for every one is too much. I think ideally could filter the complexity of PRs and adapt the visualizer depending on that, being just two sentences on some and complete graphics on some.
I myself created Revix AI and we internally created some rules that we found that served educational purpose as well, we started linking that rules to the PR comments that Revix did so the devs could access that information if they wanted. Following what I said, it's always better to keep it simple and only expand if the human wants to get deeper or if the pull request requires it.
I checked out your website and found it quite abstract, I understand enforcing team standards on each PR but I don't see more meat beyond that for reviews. Would be keen to see what y'all do in the review space!
