| security | Security-focused review |
| accessibility | A11y audit for UI changes |
| secrets | Scan for hardcoded secrets/keys |
| pr-ready | Pre-PR comprehensive check |
Output Modes

Integration with Ralph
For V-* verification stories, CodeRabbit runs FIRST as a fast pre-check:
cr review --prompt-only --type committed- Quick scan- If issues found → Fix before Claude verification
- If clean → Proceed to full Claude verification
This reduces Claude API costs and catches obvious issues fast.
Evaluator Agent (Weighted Quality Gate)
For high-stakes changes, pair CodeRabbit with the evaluator agent (claude --agent evaluator) for deeper qualitative scoring:
- CodeRabbit catches structural issues (bugs, security, style)
- Evaluator scores on 4 weighted criteria: Functionality (20%), Craft (20%), Design (30%), Originality (30%)
- Score >= 7.0 required to proceed to merge
The evaluator is deliberately adversarial -- it compensates for LLM optimism bias in code review. See ~/Gits/orchestrator/standards/evaluator-grading.md for the full grading rubric.
When to add the evaluator gate:
- Architecture changes or new module introductions
- Agent-generated code (autonomous work products)
- Changes touching >5 files or crossing module boundaries
