# Astrai Code Review
AI-powered code review with intelligent model routing.
Complex logic goes to powerful models. Formatting and style goes to fast, cheap ones. You save 40%+ without sacrificing quality.
## What it does
- **Smart routing for reviews**: Astrai analyzes the diff complexity and routes to the optimal model. A gnarly concurrency bug gets Opus. A missing semicolon gets Haiku. You only pay for the intelligence you need.
- **Structured output**: Every review returns typed issues with file, line number, severity (critical/warning/info), message, and a concrete suggestion.
- **Strictness modes**: Standard catches bugs and logic errors. Strict adds style and best-practice checks. Security mode focuses on vulnerabilities, injection, auth, and data exposure.
- **BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys)**: Your provider API keys stay with you. Astrai decides which model to use, then calls the provider using YOUR key. You pay providers directly.
- **Cost tracking**: Every review response includes the cost and how much you saved vs always using the most expensive model.
- **Local-only mode**: If you only set `ASTRAI_API_KEY` without provider keys, Astrai uses its own hosted models. Still routed intelligently, still cheap.
## Setup
1. Get a free API key at [as-trai.com](https://as-trai.com)
2. Set `ASTRAI_API_KEY` in your environment or skill config
3. Optionally add provider API keys for BYOK routing (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`)
4. Run `/review` on any diff or PR
## Usage
```
/review Review the current diff (staged changes)
/review --strict Strict mode: bugs + style + best practices
/review --focus security Security-focused review (vulns, injection, auth)
/review --file src/auth.py Review a specific file
```
### Examples
**Basic review of staged changes:**
```
/review
```
Returns issues found in the current diff with severity levels and suggestions.
**Strict review for a PR:**
```
/review --strict
```
Catches not just bugs but also style violations, naming issues, and missed best practices.
**Security audit:**
```
/review --focus security
```
Focuses on SQL injection, XSS, auth bypass, hardcoded secrets, insecure deserialization, and other vulnerability classes.
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ASTRAI_API_KEY` | Yes | Your API key from as-trai.com | -- |
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | No | Anthropic key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | No | OpenAI key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `GOOGLE_API_KEY` | No | Google key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` | No | DeepSeek key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `MISTRAL_API_KEY` | No | Mistral key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `GROQ_API_KEY` | No | Groq key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `TOGETHER_API_KEY` | No | Together key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `FIREWORKS_API_KEY` | No | Fireworks key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `COHERE_API_KEY` | No | Cohere key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` | No | Perplexity key for BYOK routing | -- |
| `REVIEW_STRICTNESS` | No | standard, strict, or security | standard |
## External Endpoints
| Endpoint | Purpose | Data Sent |
|---|---|---|
| `https://as-trai.com/v1/chat/completions` | Code review inference via intelligent routing | Diff content, file context, review instructions |
## Security & Privacy
- All requests authenticated via API key in the Authorization header
- Diffs are sent to the Astrai routing API, which forwards to the selected provider
- In BYOK mode, provider keys are sent via encrypted header (`X-Astrai-Provider-Keys`) and never stored
- No diffs, code, or review results are retained by Astrai after the request completes
- Source code is fully open: [github.com/beee003/astrai-openclaw](https://github.com/beee003/astrai-openclaw)
## Model Invocation
This skill sends code diffs to the Astrai routing API. The router classifies the review complexity and selects the best model:
- **High complexity** (concurrency, security, architecture): Routes to Claude Opus, GPT-4o, or Gemini Pro
- **Medium complexity** (logic errors, missing edge cases): Routes to Claude Sonnet, GPT-4o-mini, or Gemini Flash
- **Low complexity** (formatting, typos, naming): Routes to Claude Haiku, GPT-4o-mini, or Gemini Flash
Your prompts are processed by third-party LLM providers according to the routing decision. In BYOK mode, calls are made using your own provider API keys.
## Pricing
Same as Astrai platform pricing:
- **Free**: 1,000 requests/day, smart routing, all strictness modes
- **Pro** ($49/mo): Unlimited requests, priority routing, analytics dashboard
- **Business** ($199/mo): Team dashboards, compliance exports, SLA guarantee
This skill provides AI-powered code review with intelligent model routing to reduce cost without losing review quality. Complex issues are sent to stronger models while simple style and formatting checks use cheaper models, yielding 40%+ cost savings compared to always using the most expensive model. Reviews return structured, typed issues with file, line, severity, message, and concrete suggestions.
The skill analyzes diffs or pull requests to determine review complexity and routes each task to an appropriate model class (high, medium, low). It produces structured output listing file, line number, severity, message, and a suggested fix. Strictness modes (standard, strict, security) control the scope of checks, and BYOK lets you supply provider API keys so calls run against your provider billing. Each response includes cost and reported savings versus always using the top-tier model.
Do I need provider API keys to use the skill?
No. You must set ASTRAI_API_KEY. Provider keys are optional for BYOK; without them the skill will use Astrai-hosted models in local-only mode.
How are costs reported?
Every review response includes the model invoked, the call cost, and the percentage saved compared to always using the most expensive model.
