Review with an agent

An agent drafts review comments on a pull request; you decide which to post.

An agent can review a pull request for you. It leaves draft comments on the lines it has something to say about, and nothing is posted until you post it.

  1. Double-click the pull request in the sidebar to open the launch dialog.
  2. Choose Review. Add instructions if you want the agent to focus on something, then choose Start review.
  3. As the agent works, its drafts appear in the pull request's review rail and in the diff, sorted by severity.
  4. Step through them. Edit, discard, skip or post each one, or post them all at once. Posted comments are yours: they appear under your name.

The agent saves its drafts through the n10 command, so n10 must be on its PATH. Installing n10 with npm puts it there.

Guided review

In n10 Desktop, your reviewer can also write a short walkthrough of the pull request. Open Guided review in the review rail for an outline, slides explaining what changes and why, and a closing slide that ranks the findings. Diagrams and before-and-after views help explain the design.

Use Previous and Next, or the arrow keys, to move through the slides. File links jump to the code, or to the draft comment when the agent left one on those lines. The last slide opens the findings for you to review.

The Guided review checkbox in the review launch dialog turns the walkthrough on or off and remembers your choice. It works with any agent; there is no plugin to install.
