CodeRabbit Code Review

AI-powered code review using CodeRabbit. Enables developers to implement features, review code, and fix issues in autonomous cycles without manual intervention.

Capabilities

Finds bugs, security issues, and quality risks in changed code
Groups findings by severity (Critical, Warning, Info)
Works on staged, committed, or all changes; supports base branch/commit
Provides fix suggestions (--plain) or minimal output for agents (--prompt-only)

When to Use

When user asks to:

Review code changes / Review my code
Check code quality / Find bugs or security issues
Get PR feedback / Pull request review
What's wrong with my code / my changes
Run coderabbit / Use coderabbit

How to Review

1. Check Prerequisites

coderabbit --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"
coderabbit auth status 2>&1

If CLI not installed, tell user:

Please install CodeRabbit CLI first:
curl -fsSL https://cli.coderabbit.ai/install.sh | sh

If not authenticated, tell user:

Please authenticate first:
coderabbit auth login

2. Run Review

Use --prompt-only for minimal output optimized for AI agents:

coderabbit review --prompt-only

Or use --plain for detailed feedback with fix suggestions:

coderabbit review --plain

Options:

Flag	Description
`-t all`	All changes (default)
`-t committed`	Committed changes only
`-t uncommitted`	Uncommitted changes only
`--base main`	Compare against specific branch
`--base-commit`	Compare against specific commit hash
`--prompt-only`	Minimal output optimized for AI agents
`--plain`	Detailed feedback with fix suggestions

Shorthand: cr is an alias for coderabbit:

cr review --prompt-only

3. Present Results

Group findings by severity:

Critical - Security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, crashes
Warning - Bugs, performance issues, anti-patterns
Info - Style issues, suggestions, minor improvements

Create a task list for issues found that need to be addressed.

4. Fix Issues (Autonomous Workflow)

When user requests implementation + review:

Implement the requested feature
Run coderabbit review --prompt-only
Create task list from findings
Fix critical and warning issues systematically
Re-run review to verify fixes
Repeat until clean or only info-level issues remain

5. Review Specific Changes

Review only uncommitted changes:

cr review --prompt-only -t uncommitted

Review against a branch:

cr review --prompt-only --base main

Review a specific commit range:

cr review --prompt-only --base-commit abc123
