What CodeRabbit does
Who it’s for: development teams that receive more changes than they can review, especially now that agents write part of the code.
Security checks
The page announces analyses on every proposal and at regular intervals, a verification of the results and fixes suggested in a proposal. Higher plans add continuous monitoring.
Sorting the proposal queue
Triage: the tool scores, ranks and routes proposals, assigns reviewers and shows a Kanban board. Team plan and above.
Also
- Explaining large changes
- Ticket, editor and terminal
