Risk Analyzer
Risk Analyzer runs when a pull request or merge request is opened or marked ready for review. It evaluates the change and decides whether it is low-risk or needs deeper review. Low-risk changes can be auto-approved with a short justification. Higher-risk changes are flagged for human review with a focused note that explains what needs human attention, such as architecture, security, rollout, tests, or product behavior. For those changes, a human can bring in Pair Reviewer for an interactive, judgment-focused review.- Best for: Teams with high review volume who want humans focused on the changes that actually need judgment.
- How to use: Configure it as an automated trigger on change creation or ready-for-review events. During setup, fill in repository allowlists and paths that always require human review.
