AI Code Review Automation

AI can handle a lot of code review so humans focus on design and domain logic.

What AI can review

• Style and consistency: Naming, formatting, patterns.
• Common bugs: Null checks, off-by-one, resource leaks.
• Security: Simple vulnerability patterns, dependency risks.
• Docs and tests: Missing comments, test coverage suggestions.

Workflow

Run the AI reviewer on every PR (or on push). It comments with suggestions; authors fix or dismiss. A human reviewer does a second pass for architecture and business logic.

When to escalate

Escalate to humans for security-critical code, architectural changes, and anything the AI flags as uncertain. Use AI to reduce noise, not replace judgment.

Tools

Many AI coding agents (Cursor, Cody, GitHub Copilot with extensions) offer review. Some CI/CD tools integrate AI review steps.
