Automate pull requestcode review
Stop waiting days for a first pass on every PR. CodeCritic reads the diff, surfaces security and correctness risks, and can publish summaries where your team already discusses changes.
Where automation helps most
Small teams and busy maintainers use automation to shrink time-to-first-feedback without skipping human approval.
- Every new PR gets a structured first pass before someone claims the review slot.
- Findings reference line context so authors fix issues without hunting through generic linter output.
- Reviewers skim AI summaries and spend depth on architecture, not typo hunts.
- Stale PRs get a nudge when new commits arrive and a fresh diff is analyzed automatically.
Workflow
How teams wire it
- 1
Connect GitHub
OAuth into CodeCritic and select repositories that should receive automated reviews.
- 2
Choose trigger
Webhooks for instant feedback, the Action for CI-gated merges, or both for different branches.
- 3
Set comment policy
Decide whether findings post to the PR, stay in the dashboard, or both.
- 4
Measure cycle time
Track time from PR open to first human review after a few sprints of automation.
Overview
Automation without abdication
Automated review is a triage layer, not a merge button. CodeCritic highlights likely bugs, unsafe patterns, and missing guards so humans approve with better context.
Teams that adopt it keep CODEOWNERS, required reviewers, and release checklists. The difference is fewer round trips on obvious issues and faster cycles on low-risk changes.
