# roborev[¶](#roborev)

Continuous code review for coding agents. Review commits immediately, catch issues early, and fix them while context is fresh.

## How roborev works[¶](#how-roborev-works)

roborev reviews every commit in the background and feeds findings back to your coding agent so the write -> review -> fix loop runs hands-off.

**Post-commit reviews**- every commit is reviewed automatically, with any agent.** Agent hook**- nudges your CLI agent to fix findings mid-session.** Refine before you ship**-`/roborev-refine`

re-reviews and fixes your whole branch until every review passes, catching bugs before the PR.

## Quick Start[¶](#quick-start)

```
curl -fsSL https://roborev.io/install.sh | bash
```

Then from within your git repositories:

```
roborev init          # Install post-commit hook
# do some work, generate commits
roborev tui           # Browse reviews in the terminal UI
```

For Windows, see the
[installation guide](/installation/#quick-install-recommended).

## For LLMs[¶](#for-llms)

This docs site publishes source Markdown next to each rendered page. Prefer the
`.md`

URL when reading or citing docs programmatically: `/changelog.md`

for
`/changelog/`

, `/guides/reviewing-code.md`

for `/guides/reviewing-code/`

, and
`/index.md`

for this page.

## Why roborev?[¶](#why-roborev)

AI coding agents write code fast, but they make mistakes. Most review feedback comes too late. The agent has moved on and context is lost. roborev changes this:

**Ask your agents to commit often**, ideally every turn of work** roborev reviews**each commit in the background** Bring review work back into the agent session**with(`agent-hook`

`--agent droid`

for Factory Droid) or check the TUI (`roborev tui`

) as findings arrive**Address findings** by letting the hook prompt the fix skill, copying reviews into your agent, using, or running`/roborev-fix`

`roborev fix`

Every commit gets reviewed. Issues surface in seconds, not hours. Open reviews stay in the TUI queue until explicitly addressed and closed, so nothing falls through the cracks.

-
**Review Ledger** Every commit is reviewed automatically via git hooks. Reviews accumulate in a persistent queue that acts as a ledger: nothing is closed until explicitly addressed.

-
**Agent-Ready Feedback** Use

`agent-hook`

to prompt Codex, Claude Code, or Droid (`--agent droid`

) to run the fix skill when review work piles up. You can also copy findings into your agent session, use`/roborev-fix`

, or run`roborev fix`

to apply fixes automatically. -
**Code Analysis** Built-in analysis types (duplication, complexity, refactoring, test fixtures, dead code) that agents can address directly.

-
**Multi-Agent** Works with Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot, OpenCode, Cursor, Droid, Kilo, Kiro, Pi, and Grok Build. Auto-detects installed agents.

-
**Rich Markdown Display** Reviews render with full Markdown formatting: syntax-highlighted code blocks, headings, lists, and inline styles, right in your terminal.

-
**Runs Locally** No hosted service or additional infrastructure. Reviews are orchestrated on your machine using the coding agents you already have configured.

-
**Multi-Machine Sync** Bi-directionally sync reviews across machines via PostgreSQL.

## Architecture[¶](#architecture)

**Daemon**: HTTP server on port 7373 (auto-finds available port if busy)** Workers**: Pool of 4 (configurable) parallel review workers** Storage**: SQLite at`~/.roborev/reviews.db`

with WAL mode**Config**: Global at`~/.roborev/config.toml`

, per-repo at`.roborev.toml`

## Federated Multiplayer[¶](#federated-multiplayer)

Bi-directionally sync reviews across machines with a shared PostgreSQL database. Each daemon maintains its local SQLite for fast access while syncing changes to the central database.
