Best Practices

✅ Use AI Summary as Starting Point

Read the summary, then verify by checking actual diff on GitHub.

✅ Focus on High Impact PRs

These require more careful review and understanding.

✅ Ask Follow-Up Questions

"What are the dependencies of the files changed in PR #456?"
"Show me the current implementation of the router"

If PR touches core architecture, review entity descriptions to understand impact.

Limitations

  • Public PRs only (requires GitHub App for private repos)
  • Analysis at workflow time (not real-time)
  • AI summaries are estimates (always verify on GitHub)
