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 Settings → Suggestion 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.
