Overview

CodeAnt AI performs intelligent code reviews on every pull request, flagging issues across:

• Syntactical errors
• Logical bugs
• Concurrency pitfalls
• Performance bottlenecks
• Security vulnerabilities
• Anti-patterns

Out of the box, it helps teams uphold high code quality and catch impactful issues before they reach production.

Engineering teams often have project-specific conventions or domain requirements that go beyond standard code quality checks. That’s where Custom Prompts come into play.

Custom prompts let you define additional coding checks or best practices you want to enforce within your team. These checks run in addition to the default rules.

​

Setup

1. Access Custom Prompt Settings:

   • Navigate to Settings → AI Code Review → Custom Prompts.

2. Add a New Custom Prompt:

   • Click “Add Custom Prompt” and define your custom logic in plain English.
   • Example:
     “Ensure that all new endpoints have proper authentication checks.”

3. Save and Apply:

   • Click “Save” to activate the prompt.
   • All future PRs will be evaluated against your custom logic in addition to default rules.

Key Features

• Prompt-as-Policy: Codify organizational rules and domain knowledge directly into your code review pipeline.
• PR-Aware Evaluation: Prompts are applied only on the changed lines in the pull request to keep suggestions relevant.
• Natural Language Instructions: Write prompts in English—no scripting or DSL required.
• Comment-Level Feedback: Suggestions generated from custom prompts appear inline or as PR comments, just like default rules.

​

Benefits

• Flexible Review Framework: Adapt reviews to evolving team standards without modifying core CI pipelines.
• Faster Reviewer Onboarding: Prompts can embed tribal knowledge and legacy practices to help new reviewers follow along.
• Improved Consistency: Reinforces domain-specific expectations across all engineers and teams.
• Enhanced Compliance: Enforce coding contracts, licensing rules, naming conventions, or file structures unique to your business.
