FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code reviews to enforce project-specific standards in Git?▼

Automated code reviews enforce project rules by loading a Technical.md file, detecting Git diffs, and categorizing violations. The process surfaces issues with clear context and generates actionable fixes based on your configured rules.

Can I automatically commit code review fixes applied to my staged or unstaged diffs?▼

Yes, you can automatically commit applied fixes by including the --auto-commit flag. This streamlines the workflow by committing changes directly after the review process generates and applies the actionable fixes to your diffs.

How do I configure the tone of automated code review feedback?▼

Configure code review feedback tone by using the --harsh or --constructive flags. This adjusts the presentation of categorized issues and actionable fixes to match your team's preferred communication style.

What is the best way to track code review violations found in Git diffs?▼

Track code review violations by converting generated fixes into todos. This provides streamlined tracking of actionable items directly within your workflow after evaluating staged or unstaged file changes.

Do I need a Technical.md file to perform context-aware code reviews?▼

A Technical.md file is required to enforce project-wide standards and surface violations with clear context. Without it, the review process lacks the specific rules needed to categorize and generate actionable fixes.
