Reviseo
Persona-based AI code review prompt generator for VS Code.
Define expert reviewer personas, select one or more, enter a GitHub PR URL or review local changes, and get a structured prompt ready to run in any AI assistant. Reviseo turns your code review process into a repeatable, high-quality workflow powered by the AI models you already use.
How It Works
- Pick your personas — choose from 20 built-in experts (Security, Architecture, Testing, and more) or create your own
- Choose what to review — paste a GitHub pull request link, or review local changes (against a base branch or your uncommitted working directory changes)
- Generate — Reviseo assembles a complete, structured review prompt
- Paste into your AI — run the prompt in Claude, Copilot, or any assistant with GitHub MCP access
The AI fetches the diff, adds inline review comments, and consolidates overlapping findings from multiple personas into clean, actionable feedback.
Features
- 20 built-in reviewer personas covering Security, Software Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, Clean Code, Testing, Performance, Concurrency, Reliability, Observability, Database, CI/CD, Azure Pipelines, Spring Batch, and more
- Full persona CRUD — create, edit, and delete personas
- AI-assisted persona wizard — describe a persona and let an AI generate it; paste the JSON back to save it
- Single-agent mode — one AI reviews the PR using all selected personas sequentially, then consolidates comments
- Multi-agent mode — orchestrator AI spawns one subagent per persona for independent parallel review (higher quality, more tokens)
- Local review mode — review a local diff against a base branch, or your uncommitted working directory changes, without needing a GitHub PR URL
- GitHub MCP integration — prompts use
pull_request_read, pull_request_review_write, and add_comment_to_pending_review
gh CLI fetch — fetch PR diff and metadata directly from the extension into .ai/reviseo/<pr-number>/ before generating the prompt to save tokens- Additional inputs — personas can request runtime context (e.g. a Jira ticket URL) that gets embedded in the prompt
- Privacy-first — all persona data is stored locally in VS Code's global state; nothing is sent to any remote server
- Theme support — adapts to VS Code light and dark themes

Requirements
- An AI assistant with GitHub MCP server access (e.g. Claude with the GitHub MCP server configured, or GitHub Copilot with MCP support)
- A GitHub pull request URL
gh CLI (optional) — required only if you use the built-in PR data fetch feature
No API keys are needed in Reviseo itself — it generates prompts, not AI responses.
Working Directory
Reviseo uses .ai/reviseo/ as a working directory for temporary files. This includes pre-fetched PR data (diff and metadata stored under .ai/reviseo/<pr-number>/) and multi-agent review data files created during the review run. The orchestrator deletes its files after the review is submitted. Add .ai/ to your repository's .gitignore to avoid committing these files if a run is interrupted before cleanup.
