Automate GitHub Code Reviews with ClawdBot

The Challenge

Managing code reviews across multiple repositories requires:

• Constantly checking GitHub for new pull requests
• Running tests and analyzing code changes manually
• Context-switching between coding and review tasks
• Remembering to follow up on pending reviews

For teams with active repositories, this overhead can significantly impact development velocity.

The ClawdBot Solution

ClawdBot transforms code review into an automated, intelligent workflow:

Monitor my GitHub repositories and for each new PR:

• Run the test suite automatically
• Analyze code changes for potential issues
• Summarize the changes in plain language
• Send me a prioritized review summary on Discord

How It Works

1. Repository Monitoring

ClawdBot connects to your GitHub account and watches for:

• New pull requests
• PR updates and commits
• Review requests assigned to you
• CI/CD pipeline status changes

2. Automated Test Execution

When a new PR is detected, ClawdBot:

• Checks out the branch in a sandboxed environment
• Runs the configured test suite
• Captures test results and coverage reports
• Identifies any failing tests or regressions

3. Intelligent Code Analysis

Using AI-powered analysis, ClawdBot examines:

• Code quality: Potential bugs, anti-patterns, security issues
• Change scope: Files modified, lines added/removed
• Impact assessment: Which features or modules are affected
• Documentation: Whether changes are properly documented

4. Prioritized Summaries

ClawdBot sends you a structured summary:

🔴 HIGH PRIORITY: PR #142 - Authentication refactor
   - 15 files changed, 847 additions
   - 2 failing tests in auth.spec.ts
   - Security: New JWT implementation needs review

🟡 MEDIUM: PR #143 - Update dependencies
   - 3 files changed, package updates
   - All tests passing
   - Breaking change in lodash v5

🟢 LOW: PR #144 - Fix typo in README
   - 1 file changed, 2 lines
   - No tests affected

Developer Testimonials
