[Feature]: Make automated reviewers read repository guidance #519

Description

@smolpaws

Problem or Motivation

Automated PR reviewers do not consistently inspect repository-owned guidance before reviewing. Root and nested AGENTS.md files, CONTRIBUTING.md, and other review or coding guidelines can therefore be missed.

Desired Behavior

Both the GitHub PR reviewer automation and the /codereview plugin explicitly require the reviewer to read and apply repository guidance before reviewing changed code.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The automation prompt requires reading root and applicable nested AGENTS.md files.
  • The automation prompt also points to other relevant contribution and review guidance.
  • The /codereview plugin prompt carries the same requirement.
  • Tests cover both prompt surfaces.
  • Generated automation artifacts remain in sync.

Alternatives Considered

Rely only on always-on workspace context or one configured review-guide path. Those mechanisms do not guarantee discovery of nested guidance and other repository documentation across both reviewer entry points.

Additional Context

Tracks OpenHands/extensions PR #474.
