Code Review FAQs

Question 1

What is the typical workflow for using this tool?

Accepted Answer

The workflow is streamlined into two steps within your VS Code Copilot chat: first, use a critic tool to analyze code and identify issues (e.g., `review-design`), then apply a chosen fixer strategy to address the identified problems (e.g., `fix-conservative`).

Question 2

What is Code Review for VS Code Copilot?

Accepted Answer

Code Review is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates directly with VS Code Copilot, providing advanced, AI-powered code review capabilities through specialized 'critics' and 'fixers' based on established methodologies.

Question 3

What fixing strategies does Code Review offer?

Accepted Answer

There are three distinct strategies: `fix-comment` (adds TODO comments), `fix-conservative` (applies low-risk, clear-cut fixes), and `fix-zealot` (performs comprehensive, potentially major reorganizations to address an issue).

Question 4

How does Code Review identify code issues?

Accepted Answer

It leverages over 36 specialized critics, each focusing on specific aspects of code quality like design, SQL security, C memory management, algorithm performance, and more. Users explicitly invoke the desired critic.

Question 5

Is Code Review an official GitHub Copilot feature?

Accepted Answer

No, Code Review is a third-party tool that extends VS Code Copilot's functionality by operating as an MCP server, allowing it to provide specialized code analysis and fixing features within the Copilot chat interface.
