AI-Generated Pull Request Review Research Note
Review an AI-generated pull request from the requirement and threat model inward. Reading the agent's summary or diff first can anchor the reviewer to the implementation's framing.
NIST's Secure Software Development Framework treats requirements, secure environments, code review, executable testing, provenance, vulnerability response, and risk-based tailoring as parts of one development system.
GitHub's status-check documentation explains that checks report build, test, scan, or deployment status. A passing check does not prove that the requirement was correct, the job actually ran, or the test was independent. Skipped jobs can appear successful in some dependency conditions.
The review should independently restate acceptance criteria, constrain scope, reproduce behavior, challenge new tests, inspect data and permissions, review dependencies and generated artifacts, confirm observability, and preserve rollback.
