DO NOT EDIT — this file is auto-generated from the Council CLI’s Commander definitions by
pnpm --filter @council-ai/site docs:generate:commands. Run that command to regenerate it, andpnpm --filter @council-ai/site docs:check:commandsto verify it is in sync.
Run the built-in code-review expert panel over a diff and print the review. The diff is SENT to the configured AI engine (e.g. Copilot) and, by default, STORED locally at rest in council.db. Use –engine mock to run offline; use –no-store to review without saving the diff.
