roborev for VS Code

See your roborev code review findings right inside VS Code — no terminal switching, no context lost.

roborev is an automated code review system that reviews every commit you make using AI agents like Claude Code and Gemini. It catches bugs, security issues, and code quality problems before they ever reach a PR. This extension brings those findings into your editor where you're already working.

What You Get

Sidebar tree view — all reviews for your current project, grouped by status:

In Progress — reviews still running (spinner icon)
Needs Attention — reviews that found issues you should look at (red indicator)
Passed — clean reviews and resolved findings (green check)
History — older reviews, collapsed by default

Detail panel — click any review to see the full findings rendered as markdown, with commit info, agent, verdict, and timestamps.

Actions — close/resolve findings and reopen them without leaving the editor. Right-click context menus and webview buttons.

TUI shortcut — jump to roborev tui in an integrated terminal for the full interactive experience.

Requirements

roborev CLI installed and on your PATH
roborev daemon running (roborev daemon start)
Repository initialized with roborev init

The extension activates automatically in any workspace that has a .roborev-id file (created by roborev init). It stays dormant in other workspaces.

How It Works

The extension talks to the roborev CLI using roborev list --json and roborev show --json to fetch review data. It doesn't talk to the daemon directly — the CLI handles that.

Reviews refresh automatically:

When VS Code regains focus
Every 60 seconds while the window is active
Manually via the refresh button in the sidebar header

Why roborev?

roborev reviews every commit automatically via a post-commit hook. No PR required, no CI wait — you get feedback in seconds, on every commit, on every branch. It supports multiple AI agents (Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot, Codex, and more), configurable review guidelines per-repo, severity filtering, and even automated fix-and-re-review loops.

It's the fastest way to get a second pair of eyes on your code. Every commit. Every time.

Commands

Command	Description
`roborev: Refresh Reviews`	Reload reviews from the CLI
