Apr 13, 2026

Ship safer code faster with Rovo Dev Code Reviewer, fully integrated into your GitHub pull requests.

In this video, we’ll show you how Rovo Dev automatically reviews every PR against your team’s standards, not some generic checklist. Using a simple config file, you can teach Rovo Dev exactly what “good” looks like in your repo.

What you’ll see in this demo:
How to configure review-agent.md file with:

  • Security rules (e.g., exposed credentials, missing input validation)
  • Performance expectations (like acceptable query response times)
  • Documentation rules (e.g., every public method needs a docstring)
  • Team-specific coding conventions

How Rovo Dev automatically:

  • Triggers on each GitHub commit to a pull request
  • Scans code changes for security vulnerabilities and performance issues
  • Checks your code against the rules in review-agent.md file
  • Flags potential bugs and logic errors

What the review looks like in GitHub:

  • Inline comments right next to the relevant lines of code
  • Explanations of what’s wrong, why it matters, and how to fix it
  • Reviews tailored to your security & compliance needs

If your team cares about security, compliance, and quality in production systems, this workflow shows how Rovo Dev can help you enforce those standards on every PR, automatically.
