Code Review Swarm - Automated Code Review with AI Agents

Overview

Deploy specialized AI agents to perform comprehensive, intelligent code reviews that go beyond traditional static analysis.

Core Features

1. Multi-Agent Review System

bash
# Initialize code review swarm with gh CLI
# Get PR details
PR_DATA=$(gh pr view 123 --json files,additions,deletions,title,body)
PR_DIFF=$(gh pr diff 123)

# Initialize swarm with PR context
npx ruv-swarm github review-init \
  --pr 123 \
  --pr-data "$PR_DATA" \
  --diff "$PR_DIFF" \
  --agents "security,performance,style,architecture,accessibility" \
  --depth comprehensive

# Post initial review status
gh pr comment 123 --body "🔍 Multi-agent code review initiated"

2. Specialized Review Agents

Security Agent

bash
# Security-focused review with gh CLI
# Get changed files
CHANGED_FILES=$(gh pr view 123 --json files --jq '.files[].path')

# Run security review
SECURITY_RESULTS=$(npx ruv-swarm github review-security \
  --pr 123 \
  --files "$CHANGED_FILES" \
  --check "owasp,cve,secrets,permissions" \
  --suggest-fixes)

# Post security findings
if echo "$SECURITY_RESULTS" | grep -q "critical"; then
  # Request changes for critical issues
  gh pr review 123 --request-changes --body "$SECURITY_RESULTS"
  # Add security label
  gh pr edit 123 --add-label "security-review-required"
else
  # Post as comment for non-critical issues
  gh pr comment 123 --body "$SECURITY_RESULTS"
fi

Performance Agent

bash
# Performance analysis
npx ruv-swarm github review-performance \
  --pr 123 \
  --profile "cpu,memory,io" \
  --benchmark-against main \
  --suggest-optimizations

Architecture Agent

bash
# Architecture review
npx ruv-swarm github review-architecture \
  --pr 123 \
  --check "patterns,coupling,cohesion,solid" \
  --visualize-impact \
  --suggest-refactoring
