SENTRY-PR-REVIEW

GitHub App

Sentry PR Review is a GitHub App that helps engineering teams move pull requests from “opened” to “merge-ready” with less manual toil.

Connect your repositories, run an AI review on any open PR, and get a structured report covering security risks, missing tests, performance concerns, and merge blockers. When you are ready, post a polished summary comment back to the PR as the Sentry bot — so feedback is visible to the whole team in one place.

Sentry is built for teams that want reviews to be scannable, actionable, and consistent — not a wall of vague nitpicks.

What Sentry does

  • Analyzes pull requests — reads PR metadata, diffs, commits, existing reviews, and inline comments for full context
  • Produces merge-readiness reports — verdict, confidence score, prioritized findings, and blockers vs. suggestions
  • Posts summary comments on GitHub — enterprise-style walkthrough comments with severity labels, what/why/fix structure, and optional code suggestions
  • Keeps review history — project-scoped reports in the Sentry dashboard for your team to revisit and share

What each review comment includes

Posted comments follow patterns used by leading AI review tools and enterprise engineering practices (Conventional Comments, Google eng-practices):

Section Purpose
Verdict banner Approve, Request Changes, or Needs Discussion with confidence and merge-ready status
TL;DR One-sentence summary for leads and busy reviewers
P0 — Must fix Blocking issues (security, correctness, data loss) with full what/why/fix detail
P1 — Should fix Meaningful improvements worth addressing before or shortly after merge
P2 — Nitpicks Optional, non-blocking polish (capped to reduce noise)
Praise Highlights of good patterns and solid work
Open threads Unresolved discussions and prior reviewer feedback considered
Coverage note Transparency when large PRs use chunked diff analysis

Blockers can also include diff-style fix suggestions and agent prompts — copy-paste instructions for AI codegen tools to resolve issues quickly.

Who it is for

  • Engineering teams that want faster first-pass PR reviews without sacrificing quality
  • Tech leads who need a clear merge-readiness signal and blocker count at a glance
  • Security-conscious orgs that want SQL injection, auth, and data-handling risks flagged early
  • Remote/async teams that benefit from structured, self-contained review comments on GitHub

How it works

  1. Sign in to Sentry and add a GitHub repository as a project
  2. Install the GitHub App on the org or account that owns the repo (one-time setup)
  3. Select an open PR and trigger Analyze
  4. Review the report in Sentry — risks, strengths, blockers, and merge readiness
  5. Preview the GitHub comment before posting
  6. Post Comment to PR — Sentry publishes the summary as the bot identity

Reviews are triggered from the Sentry dashboard. You control when comments are posted — nothing is published without an explicit action.
