Powerful Features for Modern Development
Everything you need to improve code quality, catch bugs early, and maintain consistent commit messages across your team.
Smart Commit Messages
Auto-generate conventional commit messages based on your actual code changes. Maintain consistent, descriptive commits across your entire team.
Inline Code Actions
Use the lightbulb menu to explain code, generate tests, fix issues, add documentation, and get refactoring suggestions—all without leaving your editor.
Agent Skills System
Download specialized review profiles from GitHub repositories. Select multiple skills simultaneously to combine expertise—security audits, performance optimization, accessibility checks, and more.
Performance Metrics
Track token usage, generation latency, and inference costs. Monitor AI performance and optimize your workflow with detailed analytics.
Multi-Provider Support
Switch between local Ollama and cloud providers instantly. Use the status bar to change models on the fly without configuration hassle.
Cross-Branch Analysis
Compare and review differences between any two branches or Git references. Perfect for pull request preparation and code comparison.
Smart Diff Filtering
Automatically excludes node_modules, lock files, and minified code. Detects formatting-only changes to reduce noise and focus on real modifications.
Custom Prompt Templates
Override AI prompts for code reviews and commit messages with your own templates. Use variable placeholders like ${code}, ${frameworks}, and ${skills} for full control.
Review Specific Commits
Review any historical commit by hash, select from recent commits, or trigger directly from the Git Graph extension context menu. Also supports commit range reviews.
Review Profiles & Presets
Switch between General, Security, Performance, Accessibility, Educational, and Strict profiles. Compliance profiles cite OWASP, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and NIST CSF standards.
GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket PR Integration
Review Pull Requests and Merge Requests directly from VS Code. Post AI-generated reviews as PR comments with summary, inline, or both styles.
Pre-Commit Guard
Automatically review staged changes with AI before every commit. Configurable severity thresholds block commits when critical issues are found.
Agentic Multi-Step Reviews
5-step AI pipeline: analyze diff, gather context, detect patterns, deep review, and self-critique. Goes beyond single-pass reviews for comprehensive analysis.
CI/CD Integration
Run AI code reviews headlessly in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and any pipeline via the @ollama-code-review/cli package. Auto-post results to PRs.
Persistent AI Chat Sidebar
Dedicated AI chat panel in the Activity Bar with full conversation history that persists across sessions. Use @-mentions to inject file, diff, and review context.
RAG-Enhanced Reviews
Index your codebase for semantic code retrieval. The AI retrieves the most similar code snippets and injects them as additional context for deeper, more accurate reviews.
Architecture Diagrams (Mermaid)
Generate visual class, flowchart, sequence, and dependency diagrams from code changes using Mermaid.js, rendered directly in the review panel.
Review Analytics Dashboard
Track score trends, severity distributions, category breakdowns, model usage, and weekly activity. Export all data as CSV or JSON.
Team Knowledge Base
Encode architecture decisions (ADRs), coding patterns, and team rules in a YAML file. The AI cites specific entry IDs when flagging violations.
Notification Integrations
Automatically post review summaries to Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord. Configure severity-based triggers to notify your team on critical findings.
Batch / Legacy Code Review
Review any file, folder, or selected text without needing Git. Perfect for legacy codebases, third-party code, or files not tracked by version control.
Export Review Results
Copy to clipboard, save as Markdown, format as PR description, create GitHub Gists, generate commit messages, and discuss reviews in the AI chat sidebar.
Streaming Responses
Real-time, token-by-token output as the AI generates your review. Supported for Ollama, Claude, and any OpenAI-compatible server.
MCP Server (GitSage)
Use the code review functionality directly in Claude Desktop via the GitSage MCP server. 16 tools available including review, commit messages, code explanation, and more.
