When codebases incorporate high volumes of synthetic code, review queues quickly fill with bloated diffs and redundant abstractions. This bot scans incoming pull requests against repository conventions, detects unneeded complexity and excessive boilerplate, and drafts a focused checklist of concerns to streamline peer review.

## Prompt to start with

```
Inspect new pull requests on GitHub for readability issues, unnecessary abstractions, verbose comments, and anti-patterns. Generate an itemized review report with suggested line edits. Always wait for human approval in Slack before publishing any comments or submitting status reviews back to GitHub.
