roborev
Continuous background code review database for agents, work faster and smarter with accountability for every line of generated code.
Roborev is an AI sub-agent that provides continuous background code review for repositories by automatically reviewing every commit through git hooks and AI coding agents. It runs locally, triggering reviews in the background as code is written, then surfaces findings through a terminal UI, browser interface, or directly into active agent sessions. Developers can view issues immediately, apply automated fixes via AI agents, or iteratively refine code until all reviews pass. The system integrates with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, and other AI coding assistants to bring review findings back into the development loop.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Catching code quality issues and bugs in AI-generated code before they compound or reach pull requests
- 02Integrating code review accountability into AI coding agent workflows with automatic reminders and fix loops
- 03Running targeted code analysis across a codebase to find duplication, complexity hotspots, or security risks
- 04Automating fix cycles for review findings with minimal manual intervention using agent-driven remediation
- 05Tracking review history, turnaround times, and AI agent costs across projects for quality metrics
- 06Filing review findings as issues in external task systems like kata for later remediation

roborev — FAQ
What is roborev and what does it do?+
Roborev is a local AI-powered code review system that automatically reviews every git commit in the background using AI coding agents. It surfaces findings through a terminal or browser UI and can automatically fix issues by feeding them back to agents.
How do I install roborev?+
Install via the shell script (curl -fsSL https://roborev.io/install.sh | bash), Homebrew (brew install kenn-io/tap/roborev), or Go (go install go.kenn.io/roborev/cmd/roborev@latest). After installation, run 'roborev init' in your repository to set up the git hook.
Which AI coding agents work with roborev?+
Roborev works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, Kiro, Kilo, Factory Droid, Pi, Hermes, Qwen, and Grok Build. It auto-detects installed agents and can install optional hooks to bring findings into active sessions.
Do I need API keys or external services to use roborev?+
Roborev runs entirely locally and orchestrates the AI coding agents you already have configured. You'll need API keys for whichever agent you configure (e.g., ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for Claude Code), but roborev itself requires no additional external service.
Is roborev free to use?+
Yes, roborev is open-source software released under the MIT license. However, you'll incur costs from the AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) for the agents that perform the actual reviews.
How do I configure which agent roborev uses for reviews?+
Create a .roborev.toml file in your repository and set the 'agent' field (e.g., agent = "claude-code"). You can also specify different agents for reviews vs. fixes and configure per-analysis-type agent settings.
