Pre-commit Code Review¶
Catch issues before they reach your team. Pre-commit review analyzes your staged changes for bugs, security concerns, and code smells — like having a senior engineer glance at your diff before you push.
Review your changes before committing with AI-powered analysis.
Usage¶
Click the eye icon in the Source Control toolbar to get AI feedback on your staged changes.
What It Catches¶
- Bug detection — potential issues before they're committed
- Security concerns — highlighted vulnerabilities
- Code smells — maintainability issues
Results¶
Issues are shown as:
- Inline decorations in the editor
- Entries in the Problems panel
