Chat on code suggestions

Supported Git Platforms: GitHub, GitLab

Overview

Qodo Merge implements an orchestrator agent that enables interactive code discussions, listening and responding to comments without requiring explicit tool calls. The orchestrator intelligently analyzes your responses to determine if you want to implement a suggestion, ask a question, or request help, then delegates to the appropriate specialized tool.

To minimize unnecessary notifications and maintain focused discussions, the orchestrator agent will only respond to comments made directly within the inline code suggestion discussions it has created (/improve) or within discussions initiated by the /implement command.

Getting Started

Setup

Enable interactive code discussions by adding the following to your configuration file (default is True):

[pr_code_suggestions]
enable_chat_in_code_suggestions = true

Activation

/improve

To obtain dynamic responses, the following steps are required:

1. Run the /improve command (mostly automatic)

2. Check the /improve recommendation checkboxes (Apply this suggestion) to have Qodo Merge generate a new inline code suggestion discussion

3. The orchestrator agent will then automatically listen to and reply to comments within the discussion without requiring additional commands

/implement

To obtain dynamic responses, the following steps are required:

1. Select code lines in the PR diff and run the /implement command

2. Wait for Qodo Merge to generate a new inline code suggestion

3. The orchestrator agent will then automatically listen to and reply to comments within the discussion without requiring additional commands

!!! tip "Tip: Direct the agent with keywords" Use "implement" or "apply" for code generation. Use "explain", "why", or "how" for information and help.
