I have also noticed the same behaviour.

hi there! we designed /review to ignore user instructions as well as previous conversation context. apologies that this was not made clear. we've updated the docs

@zhao-oai the issue is after running
/review, the agent tries to runpython -c "...", which fails because the agent should runuv run -- python -c "..."instead. This is clearly stated in myAGENTS.md. I can include this information when I run/review, or I can just ignore/reviewand run the review prompt manually or just run my own review prompt. I can see why you might want to ignore user instructions, but on the other hand, you can see why you might not want to ignore user instructions.Even if this is now documented, I was quite surprised to find that this was the intended behavior. I was positive that this was a bug before I found this issue. I'm not sure that this should be the intended behavior.

I was having the same problem. I managed to get him to understand me by emphatically stating it more than once.
So that he would follow and obey the rules of the file.

As mentioned above, the
/reviewcommand was designed specifically not to useAGENTS.md, which is likely to contain instructions that are inappropriate for a/reviewoperation.facelezzzz commentedon Dec 9, 2025
How can we make the /review command reply in Chinese without using AGENTS.md? @etraut-openai
etraut-openai commentedon Dec 9, 2025
You can provide instructions after the
/reviewslash command.If you'd like to see a different behavior, please open a feature request.
