Too many low-priority suggestions can make developers ignore code review feedback entirely. The key is to tune the review so it surfaces what matters and stays quiet on what doesn’t.

​
Severity threshold

Kodus filters which findings actually get posted:
  • Minimum severity to post — only post suggestions at or above a threshold (default: Medium). Kody still finds lower-severity issues; it just does not comment on them.
  • Apply the threshold to Kody Rules — off by default, so your team’s own rules always surface
Configure these in the sidebar under Code review → What to review (formerly Review filters), or in kodus-config.yml:
The kodus-config.yml snippets on this page only take effect for a repository when kodus Config File Overrides Web Preferences is on in Code review → General (repository or directory scope).

​
Ignore files and paths

Skip files that generate noise (lock files, generated code, configs). Add them under Ignored files in Code review → General, or in kodus-config.yml:

​
Skip PRs by title

Skip PRs that don’t need review (releases, version bumps). Add keywords under Ignore title keywords in Code review → General, or in kodus-config.yml:

​
Toggle analysis categories

Disable entire review categories you don’t need with the Bug, Performance, Security, and Business Logic switches in Code review → What to review, or in kodus-config.yml:

​
Review cadence

Use Auto-pause (Code review → General → Enable Automated Code Review → Review Cadence) to prevent spam during active development — Kodus pauses reviews when it detects rapid consecutive pushes (default: 3 pushes in 15 minutes). For details, see General Configuration and Severity threshold.
