Configuring reviews
inline has two layers of configuration: workspace defaults and per-repo overrides. A repo left on “inherit” follows the workspace default; set any other value to override it for that repo. Set workspace defaults under Review config in the portal; set overrides on each repository’s settings page.
# Review behavior
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | — | Whether the repo is reviewed at all (per-repo only). |
| Severity threshold | Medium | Findings below this severity are suppressed. Raise to High for mature repos; lower to Low for critical ones. |
| Review identity | Bot | Post reviews as the inline bot, or as the connected user. |
| Custom instructions | — | Free-text guidance inline applies during review. Team-specific rules that don’t warrant a full skill. |
| Path filters | (defaults) | Extra path patterns to never review, added to the built-in ignore list. |
# The merge gate
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Merge gate | Off | Off, Report-only, or Block by severity (high / medium / low). See the merge gate. |
# Budget
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly budget (USD) | — | Spend cap for the workspace. An alert fires at 80%. |
| Budget degrade | — | Past the cap, stop at triage and mark reviews incomplete (so they get a full review next month) rather than skipping. |
# Optional modules (per-repo toggles)
Each of these can be turned on per repo, or default from the workspace:
| Toggle | Feature |
|---|---|
| Walkthroughs | Build a hosted walkthrough page per PR. |
| Sandbox tests | Run (and author) tests in a sandbox. |
| Browser e2e | Add browser end-to-end tests with video/screenshot evidence. |
| Auto-fix | Offer verified fix PRs for findings. |
| Graph index | Build a code-graph index for the repo. |
| Breaking-change checks | Cross-repo breaking-change detection. |
# MCP
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| MCP enabled | Off | Allow pre-PR review over MCP for this workspace. |
| MCP monthly budget | — | Org-wide and per-user spend caps for ad-hoc reviews. |
# Skills & learnings
- Skills are attached workspace-wide or per-repo. See skills.
- Learnings are scoped to a repo or the whole workspace. Proposed learnings from the feedback loop wait for admin approval.
