Convention Rules let the AI reviewer read and follow your team’s coding conventions from files already in your repository. This ensures reviews align with your established standards and coding practices.

​
How it works

When you select a coding assistant tool, the AI reviewer automatically finds and reads the corresponding convention files in your repository during each review. No manual file path configuration is needed.

​
Setup

To configure Convention Rules, click the Convention Rules icon on any repository row:

Select the coding assistant tool your team uses, and the AI reviewer will automatically find and read the corresponding convention files in your repository:

Just select your convention rules tool — the AI reviewer will automatically find and read the convention files in your repository. No need to specify exact file paths.

Custom convention paths

You can add Custom Convention Paths to point the reviewer at additional convention files or directories in your repository. This is useful when your team maintains convention files in non-standard locations or uses multiple tools. Click + Add path in the Convention Rules dialog to specify relative paths to additional convention files or directories.
