SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Local AI code reviews via the CodeRabbit CLI help teams catch high-risk issues early, while keeping reviews tightly controlled and rate-limited to avoid overload.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local, AI-assisted code reviews triggered only when explicitly requested or for high-risk changes (security, concurrency, complex logic).
  • Background execution and prompt-optimized output to minimize disruption to your workflow.
  • Flexible gating with CLI flags to tailor review scope and timing.

Quick Start

Start a background CodeRabbit review on the current changes with cr review --prompt-only --type uncommitted and read the results when it completes.
