Introduction to Codessa
Codessa acts as an intelligent layer between your repository and your developers. By automatically analyzing Pull Requests, it identifies structural flaws, style violations, and potential bugs before a human reviewer even looks at the code.
How It Works
1. Push Code
Developer pushes a commit and opens a Pull Request in GitHub.
2. AI Analysis
Codessa intercepts the webhook, fetching diffs and context for analysis.
3. Feedback
Actionable comments and suggested fixes are posted directly to the PR.
Our engine doesn't just look at line-level syntax; it builds a localized semantic graph of your changes to understand how modifications impact surrounding files and architectural patterns.
Supported languages
Code Codessa reviews
Programming languages Codessa understands well enough to analyze.
Review output language
The language Codessa writes review comments in — separate from the code language above.
Set with the language field in .codessa.yml, or from the account's Settings page — following the same configuration hierarchy as every other setting.
