Git Integration (formerly Qodo Merge) – AI code review agents for pull requests. This documentation describes the Qodo v1 experience. For the Qodo v2 documentation, click here.
The scan_repo_discussions tool analyzes past PR discussions and metadata to identify recurring feedback patterns, then generates a best_practices.md file with key insights and recommendations. The best_practices.md file captures patterns specific to your team’s workflow, based on real PR discussions. Qodo uses it to give more tailored, context-aware suggestions in future pull requests.

Learn more about the best practices file.

Active repositories are neededThe tool is designed to work with real-life repositories, as it relies on actual discussions to generate meaningful insights.Notice that at least 50 merged PRs are required to generate a best_practices.md file.
