PRetty Smart
PRetty Smart turns Logitech devices into a focused pull request review console for Visual Studio Code.
It connects a Logitech Actions SDK plugin with a local VS Code extension so reviewers can navigate PR changes, draft review comments, manage review comments, and submit final GitHub reviews without leaving their review flow.
What it does
PRetty Smart is designed for GitHub pull request review workflows in VS Code.
Core features:
- Navigate pull request changes from a Logitech device.
- Navigate existing GitHub review comments.
- Generate and refine review comment drafts.
- Select between multiple draft variants.
- Add the selected draft at the current review cursor.
- Delete the current review comment.
- Submit final reviews as:
- Comment
- Approve
- Request Changes
- Use a display-only review panel in VS Code for the selected comment or draft.
- Keep AI output as editable draft text. PRetty Smart does not modify code automatically.

AI behavior
PRetty Smart can use AI to draft review text. AI output is always a draft.
It may send selected review text, changed file names, diff snippets, and short untracked file previews to the configured AI provider. It does not send the entire repository automatically. It does not modify code automatically.
Supported AI modes:
auto: tries VS Code / GitHub Copilot language models first, then OpenAI if configured.copilot: uses VS Code language models through GitHub Copilot.openai: uses the configured OpenAI-compatible API endpoint.disabled: disables AI draft generation.
OpenAI API keys are stored locally in VS Code SecretStorage.

Troubleshooting
The Logitech plugin opens the marketplace page instead of running an action
That means the Logitech plugin could not reach the PRetty Smart VS Code bridge. Open VS Code, install/enable the PRetty Smart VS Code extension, and make sure the bridge is listening on 127.0.0.1:56789.
GitHub Pull Requests is missing
Install the GitHub Pull Requests extension for VS Code. PRetty Smart depends on it for GitHub PR review workflows.
No active PR is found
Open or checkout a pull request through the GitHub Pull Requests extension, then run the PRetty Smart command again.
Approve or Request Changes fails
GitHub may block reviews on your own pull request or on repositories where your account lacks review permissions. Test with a second GitHub account or a PR where you are allowed to review.
AI draft generation fails
Use local fallback drafts, install/sign in to GitHub Copilot, or set an OpenAI API key with PRetty Smart: Set OpenAI API Key.
Limitations
- GitHub PR workflows require the GitHub Pull Requests extension.
- GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket provider support is not complete in version 0.1.0.
- PRetty Smart relies on the active PR model inside VS Code.
- PRetty Smart does not replace GitHub’s permission checks.
- PRetty Smart does not automatically modify code.
Version
