FAQPage Schema
How do I automate drafting responses to unaddressed PR review comments?

What is a fresh-eyes approach to code review and comment response?

A fresh-eyes code review approach prevents bias by isolating reviewer mode and avoiding prior conversation history. It builds understanding strictly from codebase evidence before generating permalinked replies to feedback.

Can I generate permalinked replies that reference exact code locations for auditability?

Yes, you can generate permalinked replies referencing exact code locations and diffs. This enforces safe handling and auditability by ensuring every comment response is grounded in specific, traceable code evidence.

Does this PR review assistant use prior conversation history when drafting replies?

No, this PR review assistant avoids using prior conversation history. It enforces safe handling by relying entirely on a fresh discovery pass through the codebase to isolate context and generate evidence-backed replies.

How do I ensure my automated comment responses are grounded in actual code understanding?

To ensure automated comment responses are grounded in code understanding, use a discovery-driven review mode that reads the codebase first. This isolates design intent from code changes to produce evidence-backed replies.

What is the best way to reply to reviewer feedback without conflating design intent with code changes?
