# 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 "š 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
```

- name: Run Review Swarm
run: |
# Get PR context with gh CLI
PR_NUM=${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
PR_DATA=$(gh pr view $PR_NUM --json files,title,body,labels)
# Run swarm review
REVIEW_OUTPUT=$(npx ruv-swarm github review-all \
--pr $PR_NUM \
--pr-data "$PR_DATA" \
--agents "security,performance,style,architecture")
# Post review results
echo "$REVIEW_OUTPUT" | gh pr review $PR_NUM --comment -F -
# Update PR status
if echo "$REVIEW_OUTPUT" | grep -q "approved"; then
gh pr review $PR_NUM --approve
elif echo "$REVIEW_OUTPUT" | grep -q "changes-requested"; then
gh pr review $PR_NUM --request-changes -b "See review comments above"
fi
```

PR_DIFF=$(gh pr diff 123 --color never)
PR_FILES=$(gh pr view 123 --json files)
# Generate review comments
COMMENTS=$(npx ruv-swarm github review-comment \
--pr 123 \
--diff "$PR_DIFF" \
--files "$PR_FILES" \
--style "constructive" \
--include-examples \
--suggest-fixes)
# Post comments using gh CLI
echo "$COMMENTS" | jq -c '.[]' | while read -r comment; do
FILE=$(echo "$comment" | jq -r '.path')
LINE=$(echo "$comment" | jq -r '.line')
BODY=$(echo "$comment" | jq -r '.body')
# Create review with inline comments
gh api \
--method POST \
$repos/:owner/:repo$pulls/123$comments \
-f path="$FILE" \
-f line="$LINE" \
-f body="$BODY" \
-f commit_id="$(gh pr view 123 --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid)"

See also: [swarm-pr.md](.$swarm-pr.md), [workflow-automation.md](.$workflow-automation.md)This skill deploys a coordinated swarm of specialized AI agents to perform automated, context-aware code reviews that go beyond static analysis. It runs multiple reviewers (security, performance, style, architecture, accessibility) in parallel, aggregates findings, and posts actionable comments and quality-gate results back to your CI or pull request. The goal is faster, more consistent reviews and fewer regressions in production.
The skill initializes a multi-agent review session with PR context (diff, changed files, history) and spawns dedicated agents for security, performance, style, architecture, etc. Each agent runs targeted checks, suggests fixes, and assigns severity. An orchestrator aggregates results, applies configurable thresholds and quality gates, and posts inline comments, review statuses, or requests changes through the repository CLI or CI integration.
Can I customize which agents run per path or PR type?
Yes. Configure path-based triggers to select agents and depth per file patterns so only relevant specialists run.
How are critical findings enforced?
The orchestrator applies configured quality gates and can block merges, request changes, or add labels based on severity rules.
