The Problem with "LGTM"
We've all been there. You open a PR, your colleague glances at it for 30 seconds, types "LGTM", and merges. No one actually reviews the code. Security vulnerabilities slip through. Performance bugs hide in plain sight.
What if you could deploy 10 specialized AI agents — each an expert in a different domain — to review every PR in parallel?
Meet RevHive
RevHive is an open-source multi-agent code review system. It deploys 10 AI agents simultaneously:
| Agent | What It Checks |
|---|---|
| SecurityAgent | SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets, weak crypto |
| PerformanceAgent | N+1 queries, memory leaks, algorithmic complexity |
| LogicAgent | Edge cases, error handling, race conditions |
| StyleAgent | Naming, formatting, documentation |
| RepoAgent | Design patterns, SOLID principles, module structure |
| RefactorAgent | Code transformation, incremental migration |
| FixAgent | Generates corrected code with root cause analysis |
| TestAgent | Unit tests, edge case tests, security regression tests |
| DocAgent | API docs, architecture docs, usage examples |
| Coordinator | Deduplicates, resolves conflicts, calculates risk score |
Try It in 30 Seconds (No API Key Needed)
pip install revhive-ai
revhive demo
The demo runs the complete pipeline with mock responses — you'll see exactly what a real review looks like, including risk scores, severity breakdowns, and actionable findings.
What a Review Looks Like
Every review produces a risk score (0-100) and categorized findings:
Risk Score: 72/100 HIGH
CRITICAL x1 HIGH x3 MEDIUM x8 LOW x11
-- Critical/High Findings --
[CRITICAL] Hardcoded AWS Secret Key
SecurityAgent - Line 42
AWS access key found in source code. Move to environment variables.
[HIGH] SQL Injection via String Concatenation
SecurityAgent - Line 87
User input directly interpolated into SQL query.
[HIGH] Missing Error Handling in Payment Flow
LogicAgent - Line 156
Payment processing has no try/catch — failures are silently swallowed.
[HIGH] N+1 Query in User Dashboard
PerformanceAgent - Line 203
Fetching orders inside a user loop — use JOIN or batch query instead.
The Key Insight
The power isn't in any single agent — it's in parallelism and specialization. A human reviewer might catch security issues OR performance issues. RevHive catches both, plus logic bugs, missing tests, and documentation gaps — all in under 30 seconds.
Auto-Review Every PR
Install the GitHub App and every PR gets reviewed automatically. Or use GitHub Actions:
- name: Run RevHive Review
env:
LLM_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
LLM_MODEL: deepseek-chat # ~$0.05 per review
run: revhive review --diff HEAD~1 --format markdown
Supported LLMs
| Provider | Cost/Review |
|---|---|
