SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

code-review helps teams automatically audit changed source files for bugs, security vulnerabilities, style violations, and maintainability risks, reducing risk and saving time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-depth code review with severity classification. Scans source files changed during a phase or across specified paths, identifying bugs, security vulnerabilities, style violations, and maintainability concerns. Every finding is classified by severity so maintainers can triage efficiently.
  • Provides a structured remediation handoff with clear next steps and owners for each finding, enabling faster resolution and accountability.
  • Produces a standardized REVIEW.md report that can be used as a gate for merges, releases, or phase completions.

Quick Start

Run a standard code-review on the latest changed files to produce the REVIEW.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate static analysis to find security vulnerabilities in changed source files?

Automated static analysis scans changed source files to identify security vulnerabilities, bugs, and style violations. It applies deterministic analysis and severity classification to generate a structured REVIEW.md report with actionable remediation steps.

What is the best way to generate a structured code review report for merge gates?

Generating a structured code review report for merge gates involves scanning source files for maintainability risks and defects. The process outputs a standardized REVIEW.md with findings organized by critical, warning, and info severity levels for triage.

How does severity classification work for bugs and security risks found during a code review?

Severity classification for bugs and security risks works by categorizing every finding into critical, warning, or info levels during static analysis. This allows maintainers to triage defects efficiently and provides clear next steps and owners for remediation.

Can I scan specific file paths for maintainability concerns and style violations?

You can scan specific file paths for maintainability concerns and style violations. The static analysis targets source files changed during a phase or within specified paths to identify defects and produce a concise summary of findings.

Do I need any external dependencies to run an automated code-quality review?

No external dependencies are required to run an automated code-quality review. The static analysis operates independently to identify defects, security vulnerabilities, and maintainability risks, directly outputting the REVIEW.md report.

When do I need a structured remediation handoff for code review findings?

A structured remediation handoff is needed when teams require clear next steps and accountability for resolving identified bugs and security vulnerabilities. It enables faster resolution by assigning owners to each finding in the REVIEW.md report.
