SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Structured, repeatable code reviews that surface defects, security issues, and quality gaps, reducing blind spots and accelerating approvals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 5-pass review workflow: correctness, security, performance, readability, and consistency
  • Scope-aware: reviews a single file, a directory recursively, or diffs with contextual hunks
  • Outputs a structured findings report grouped by pass and severity for actionable remediation
  • Integrates with standard code review practices and supports various hosting/harness environments

Quick Start

Provide a structured 5-pass review for a given target (file, directory, or diff) and deliver findings by pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a structured code review for a repository directory?

A 5-pass code review automates structured analysis by checking correctness, security, performance, readability, and consistency. It surfaces defects and security gaps across files or directories, delivering findings grouped by pass and severity for actionable remediation.

Can I review only the diffs in my repository instead of the full codebase?

Yes, you can review diffs instead of the full codebase. The static analysis evaluates contextual diff hunks to isolate quality issues and security gaps specifically within your recent changes, ensuring targeted and fast quality checks.

What is the best way to check for security gaps and code quality issues before approval?

The best way to check for security gaps and code quality issues is a structured 5-pass review. It evaluates security and best practices alongside correctness, surfacing blind spots and accelerating approvals through a severity-grouped findings report.

Does this static analysis tool follow existing project conventions?

Yes, the static analysis follows existing project conventions. During the consistency pass, it evaluates your code against established project standards to ensure the structured review aligns with your repository's specific reporting and formatting requirements.

How are code review findings reported and grouped?

Code review findings are reported and grouped by pass and severity. This structured output categorizes defects, security gaps, and quality issues discovered during the 5-pass workflow, delivering actionable remediation steps for developers.

What are the limitations of automated static analysis for code review?

A limitation of automated static analysis is that it focuses on surfacing defects, security gaps, and quality issues based on code patterns. It may not catch complex business logic flaws, requiring human oversight during the final approval process.
