Reviewer Overview

The reviewer runs in GitHub Actions (and Azure DevOps summary-only) and posts a structured review comment on PRs. Azure DevOps summary-only uses the PR-level changes endpoint (cumulative diff). It can use:

ChatGPT (native transport) with a ChatGPT login bundle.
Copilot (via Copilot CLI) for teams already using GitHub Copilot.
Copilot direct HTTP transport (experimental) for custom gateways.

Recommended onboarding

- CLI wizard: intelligencex setup wizard
- Local web UI (preview): intelligencex setup web

Trust model (short version)

BYO GitHub App is supported for branded bot identity.
Secrets are stored in GitHub Actions (you control access).
Web UI binds to localhost only; tokens never leave your machine.

Engine Scope

- Review pipeline: resolve inputs, build context, assemble prompt, call provider, parse inline comments, post summary/inline output.
- Providers and transports: OpenAI (native/appserver) and Copilot (CLI/direct).
- Context builder: diff-range selection, file filtering, chunking, redaction, language hints, related PRs.
- Formatter/output: summary templates, inline comment formatting, structured findings block.
- Thread triage/auto-resolve: load threads, require evidence, summarize/append optional replies.

Success Metrics

Review latency (p50/p95) from job start to posted comment.
Failure rate for review runs (auth, preflight, provider errors).
Reviewer usefulness score (maintainer feedback or “kept” findings rate).
Inline quality (false-positive rate based on fixes/confirmations).

Default Mode + Model Policy

- Default review mode: hybrid (summary + inline when supported; falls back to summary-only).
- Default provider/model: OpenAI with gpt-5.3-codex unless configured otherwise; Copilot is opt-in.
- Safe defaults: skip drafts; skip workflow changes unless allowed; no secrets/writes on untrusted PRs; fail-open only for transient errors; budget summary enabled; auto-resolve limited to bot threads with evidence; secrets audit on.

Reusable workflow (quick start)

jobs:
  review:
    uses: evotecit/github-actions/.github/workflows/review-intelligencex.yml@master
    with:
      reviewer_source: release
      openai_transport: native
      output_style: claude
      style: colorful
    secrets: inherit

Inputs → environment mapping (short)

The reusable workflow maps with: inputs to environment variables the reviewer reads.

Workflow input	Environment variable
`repo`	`INPUT_REPO`
`pr_number`	`INPUT_PR_NUMBER`
`reviewer_token`	`INTELLIGENCEX_GITHUB_TOKEN`
`reviewer_source`	`REVIEWER_SOURCE`
`reviewer_release_repo`	`REVIEWER_RELEASE_REPO`
`reviewer_release_tag`	`REVIEWER_RELEASE_TAG`
`reviewer_release_asset`	`REVIEWER_RELEASE_ASSET`
`reviewer_release_url`	`REVIEWER_RELEASE_URL`

Minimal config (native ChatGPT)

{
  "review": {
    "provider": "openai",
    "openaiTransport": "native",
    "model": "gpt-5.3-codex",
    "mode": "inline",
    "length": "long",
    "reviewUsageSummary": true
  }
}

Quick flow (end-to-end)

# 1) Auth login (stores tokens locally)
intelligencex auth login

# 2) Setup reviewer (creates PR)
intelligencex setup wizard

What to configure next

Model/provider + output style
Review length and strictness
Auto-resolve/triage behavior for bot threads
Triage-only mode (skip full review, only triage threads)
Usage summary line (optional)

Usage and credits line

Enable reviewUsageSummary to append limits/credits (ChatGPT native only). See Configuration . When a code-review rate-limit window is present, its label is explicitly prefixed with code review (for example, code review weekly limit ) so it is distinct from general limits.
