FAQPage Schema
How do I customize code review rules for specific projects?

You can customize code review rules by placing a custom SKILL.md template in your local-skills directory to define project-specific rules. This extends or overrides the default reviewer plugin behavior for logic, patterns, documentation, or skill checks.

Can I override default code review checks with my own rules?

Yes, you can override default code review checks entirely by creating a local review override. This replaces the default ruleset with your custom logic, allowing consistent checks across teams without altering the core reviewer plugin.

How do I enforce project-specific coding standards across a monorepo?

You can enforce project-specific coding standards across a monorepo by applying local review overrides. This enables consistent custom checks per project or team without modifying the core review plugin's default behavior.

What built-in code review types can I customize with local rules?

You can customize four built-in core review types: logic, patterns, documentation, and skill. Local rules allow you to apply specific governance policies and coding standards to each of these review categories.

Does customizing local code review skills require external dependencies?

No, customizing local code review skills does not require external dependencies. You only need to define your project-specific rules using a local SKILL.md template to integrate safe-guarded local overrides.

When should I use a local review override instead of modifying the core reviewer plugin?

Use a local review override when you need project-specific governance policies or coding standards that differ from defaults. This approach keeps the core plugin intact while allowing safe-guarded integration checks for individual projects.
