Let her learn from your past reviews to create personalized coding standards. **Requires at least 3 months of Kody review history on the repository.** This feature derives rules from Kody's past reviews on your PRs, so repositories that have just onboarded won't produce useful suggestions. If you recently started using Kody, come back after a few months of real reviews. ## Quick Overview * **Auto-Generation**: Kody analyzes your review history to create new rules * **Data-Driven**: Uses 3 months of review data for intelligent insights * **Smart Suggestions**: Generates rules based on actual team patterns * **Optional Approval**: Generated rules are active by default; turn on **Kody knowledge approval** to review each one before it takes effect * **Continuous Learning**: Weekly rule updates as your team evolves Kody Rules Configuration sheet ## How It Works ### 1. Turning On Rules Generation Rules generation is set per repository: 1. In the sidebar, pick the repository in the scope picker at the top of the **Code review** group, then open **Kody Rules** 2. Click **Configuration** to open the side sheet 3. Turn on **Generate from past reviews** 4. Optionally, use the reviewer picker below the toggle (**Learning from all reviewers** by default) to exclude developers whose review comments Kody should not learn from ### 2. Analysis Process The first time you turn on **Generate from past reviews** for a repository, Kody will: * **Scan Review History**: Analyzes the last 3 months of closed PRs in your repository * **Identify Patterns**: Discovers common feedback themes and coding preferences * **Extract Standards**: Converts review patterns into actionable rules * **Generate Rules**: Creates custom rules tailored to your team's style This may take a few minutes. Generated rules then appear on the repository's **Kody Rules** page. ### 3. Reviewing Generated Rules Generated rules are listed with the **Kody-generated** origin (use **Filters → Origin → Kody-generated** to see only them). Open any of them to edit, pause, or delete it like any other rule. ### 4. Approving Rules Before They Take Effect By default, generated rules are **active as soon as they are created** and are enforced on the next code review. To review generated rules before they take effect, turn on **Kody knowledge approval** in the same **Configuration** sheet. With approval on: * **Pending Review**: New generated rules land in the **Pending review** section at the top of the Kody Rules page instead of being enforced * **Choose Selectively**: **Approve** the rules that match your team's needs and **Discard** the rest * **Activation**: Only approved rules are enforced during code reviews ## Continuous Learning After the initial setup, Kody maintains an ongoing learning cycle: * **Weekly Updates**: Kody generates new rule suggestions every week * **Evolving Standards**: Rule suggestions adapt as your team's coding style evolves * **Refined Accuracy**: Suggestions become more precise over time * **Regular Reviews**: New rules appear weekly (in **Pending review** when approval is on) ## Requirements * **Minimum Data**: At least 3 months of review history in the repository * **Active Reviews**: Regular code review activity for better pattern detection * **Repository Access**: Proper permissions to modify repository rules This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
