Review withoutleaving GitHub.
AI may have written the pull request. You still have to understand it before you approve it. The review opens in a sidebar beside the one you are already looking at, tied to the files and lines it is about, so you work through it in the diff view you know and keep your place the whole way.

Generate a Guide
Choose Buddy AI, Repo AI or Chat AI. The Guide builds a review strategy: what to check, in what order, and why.
Understand what matters
Start with a concise overview of the pull request, including the questions worth asking, before diving into individual files.
Start the guided review
Stop hunting through GitHub's changed-files list. Start the guided review and let it lead.
Always know what to review next
Walks you through the Guide's files one at a time, right inside GitHub's own diff view, in a logical order. Your progress and current file are always visible.
Investigate only when you need evidence
Continue exploring with your preferred AI workflow without leaving the review.
Finish with confidence
Findings and evidence stay linked to the PR. Close the loop knowing you reviewed everything that mattered, in order, without missing a file.
Continue investigating with your preferred AI.
PR Review Buddy helps you identify what deserves investigation, then lets you continue with repository-aware agents or your favourite AI assistant.
Why does the output look different depending on your setup?
Repo AI gives the agent access to your codebase. PR Review Buddy gives it a review methodology.
Claude Code can inspect files. PR Review Buddy teaches it how to review.
However you generate it, the same guided review walks you through the result — it doesn't care which engine produced the plan.
Repo AI
For Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Aider and other repository-aware coding agents. The agent explores the repository itself, with no pasted diffs and no wasted context.
Buddy AI
Run reviews directly inside PR Review Buddy using your own API key.
Chat AI
Generate a prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or another chat-based assistant.
Want a dedicated simplicity review?
The PR Review Buddy CLI includes the KISS lens, named for the classic “keep it simple” principle. It examines a change specifically for unnecessary complexity and over-engineering, and runs from the terminal against an isolated checkout of the code.
AI can write the code. It shouldn’t make the decision.
PR Review Buddy helps you understand, challenge and investigate the change. You decide what belongs in the codebase.
AI investigates. You decide.
