tech stack

challenges

• •designing precise prompts for accurate and consistent ai outputs across diverse codebases.
• •integrating ai model json responses for structured output parsing — eventually simplified the approach after complexity grew.
• •implementing code patch commenting functionality and creating threaded review comments on specific lines.
• •formatting file-by-file changes coherently while managing ai-generated data manipulation at scale.

outcomes

• •reduced manual code review effort and duration significantly.
• •streamlined pr reviews with detailed, organized file-by-file summaries.
• •enhanced codebase management through automation of repetitive review tasks.
• •deepened understanding of ai/llms, prompt engineering, and github's webhooks api.
