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.

Suggestion control

Kodus gives you fine-grained control over how many suggestions appear and at what severity:
  • Max suggestions per PR — limit the total number of suggestions (e.g., 9)
  • Severity filter — only show suggestions at or above a threshold (e.g., Medium and above)
  • Grouping mode — control how suggestions are organized in the PR
Configure these in Code Review SettingsSuggestion Control, or in kodus-config.yml:
suggestionControl:
  groupingMode: full
  limitationType: pr
  maxSuggestions: 9
  severityLevelFilter: medium

Ignore files and paths

Skip files that generate noise (lock files, generated code, configs):
ignorePaths:
  - yarn.lock
  - package-lock.json
  - "**/*.generated.ts"
  - dist/**

Skip PRs by title

Skip PRs that don’t need review (releases, version bumps):
ignoredTitleKeywords:
  - "release"
  - "bump version"
  - "chore"

Toggle analysis categories

Disable entire review categories you don’t need:
reviewOptions:
  security: true
  code_style: true
  refactoring: false        # disable if too noisy
  documentation_and_comments: false  # disable if not relevant

Review cadence

Use Auto-pause 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 Suggestion Control.
