That's like reading the last chapter of a book and trying to write a review.</p> <p>I built <strong>ReviewPilot</strong> — an AI code reviewer that reads your full source files, traces imports, and understands your codebase structure before reviewing.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <p>When you open a PR (GitHub) or MR (GitLab), ReviewPilot automatically:</p> <ul> <li>Reads the full files being changed, not just the diff</li> <li>Traces imports to understand dependencies</li> <li>Posts inline comments with severity badges (Critical, High, Medium, Low)</li> <li>Catches bugs, security issues, and architecture problems</li> </ul> <h2> Two review modes </h2> <p><strong>Dev Mode</strong> — Fast, automated review on every PR. Catches bugs, security holes, and style issues in seconds.</p> <p><strong>Leader Mode</strong> — Deep architecture analysis with risk scoring, mentor feedback, and approve/request-changes decisions. Like having a senior engineer review every PR.</p> <h2> How it works </h2> <p>For GitHub: Install the GitHub App → done. Reviews happen automatically.</p> <p>For GitLab: Add a webhook + access token → done. Works with gitlab.com and self-hosted.</p> <p>Drop a <code>.reviewpilot.yml</code> in your repo to customize:</p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> yaml mode: dev ignore: - "**/*.test.ts" - "dist/**" rules: min_severity: medium focus: - security - performance Free tier - 3 developers - 4 reviews per developer/month - Unlimited repositories - No credit card required Tech stack - API: Hono + Node.js + BullMQ - Dashboard: Next.js - DB: PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM - AI: Claude for code analysis - Deploy: Docker + Vercel Try it: [reviewpilot-dashboard.vercel.app](https://reviewpilot-dashboard.vercel.app/) </code></pre> </div> ai productivity git github
