Lean review experience

A lean review experience focuses on surfacing only the most critical issues and minimizing noise. It is typically achieved by combining:
  • Higher severity thresholds for inline comments
  • Fewer findings shown by default
  • Summary-focused feedback
  • More aggressive ignore rules (for PRs, files, tickets, or authors)
Example configuration: 
# Only show the most critical issues inline
inline_comments_severity_threshold = 3

# Show feedback primarily in the summary
comments_location_policy = "summary"

# Ignore low-signal PRs and generated code
[config]
ignore_pr_labels = ["chore", "skip-review"]
ignore_language_framework = ["protobuf"]

# Display a minimal set of findings and keep most sections collapsed
[review_agent_ux]
finding_overflow_count = 1
resolved_overflow_count = 1
expand_description = true
expand_code = false
expand_evidence = false
expand_prompt = false
This setup highlights only issues that must be addressed before merging and keeps the review output compact.

​
Verbose review experience

A verbose review experience provides broader coverage and richer context. It is typically achieved by combining:
  • Lower severity thresholds for inline comments
  • More findings shown by default
  • Feedback shown both inline and in summary
  • No ignore rules
Example configuration: 
# Show multiple severity levels inline
inline_comments_severity_threshold = 1

# Show feedback both inline and in summary
comments_location_policy = "both"

# Display more findings and expand contextual sections
[review_agent_ux]
finding_overflow_count = 5
resolved_overflow_count = 5
expand_description = true
expand_code = true
expand_evidence = true
expand_prompt = true
This setup is useful during onboarding, when working with new codebases, or when teams want deeper insight and guidance.
