AI-powered code review for Github PRs.
-
🧩 Split large PRs into AI‑generated sub‑PRs
- Automatically split with AI—no manual stacking required
- CLI can be used in place of
git push; control the number of sub‑PRs and give guidance for how to split - Just‑in‑time split/merge when you want to adjust items lower in the stack
-
🧭 Unified, IDE‑like review UI
- All context (discussion, diffs, file tree) consolidated into one view
- Asking the AI pulls up all relevant code sections side‑by‑side for context while you read
- Press and highlight comments/code to include them in the chat context, just like Cursor
-
💬 Cursor‑like AI review partner
- Ask questions freely (voice mode supported); use it like a live review with a colleague
- Auto‑drafts review comments based on your discussion
- One‑click suggestion bubbles for common prompts (e.g., counter‑arguments, potential concerns, explanations)
-
➕ Additional capabilities
-
🤖 AI‑powered PR analysis and summaries
-
🔍 Smart diff analysis of changes
-
🎯 Code location detection to surface relevant sections
-
📊 PR analytics for insights into changes
-
📱 Responsive design for desktop and mobile
-
🚀 Simple to get started
-
Dashboard shows all PRs you’re involved in
-
Paste any public GitHub PR URL to try it out
-
Or use the CLI to create a draft PR with split sub‑PRs and open it in LightLayer
-
- Docker and Docker Compose
- GitHub account and GitHub App setup
- Anthropic API key for Claude AI
- PostgreSQL database (included in Docker setup)
- SuperTokens for authentication and user management
See our Getting Started Guide for detailed instructions.
The LightLayer CLI helps you create draft PRs and generate AI-powered sub-PRs from your current Git branch.
cd cli
npm install
npm run build
npm link # registers the `lightlayer` command locally- Initialize for a repository (must be run inside a Git repo):
lightlayer initThis prompts for backend/frontend hosts and takes you to http://localhost:3000/verify to copy your token. Paste the token back into the CLI when prompted. Auth is stored per-repo at ~/.lightlayer/config.json.
- Create or find a draft PR, then generate sub PRs:
lightlayer split- Control the number of sub PRs and how they should be split:
lightlayer split -n 3 -m "Group by feature modules" -b mainFlags:
-n, --num <count>: target number of sub PRs-m, --message <guidance>: guidance to influence how the split is performed-b, --base <branch>: base branch for the draft PR (default: repo default branch)-t, --title <title>: optional PR title override--body <body>: optional PR body override
Other commands:
lightlayer logout– clears auth for the current repo only
Notes:
- Commands must be run in a Git repository.
- If the current branch isn’t on
origin, the CLI will push it before creating a PR. - After
split, the CLI prints a link likehttp://localhost:3000/pr/<owner>/<repo>/<pr_number>to view in LightLayer.

Notes:
- SuperTokens stores auth data in PostgreSQL and is also used for auth/session management.
- The only external requests made are to GitHub API, Anthropic API, and Deepgram API
- PostgreSQL starts first (database)
- Redis starts in parallel (caching)
- SuperTokens waits for PostgreSQL to be healthy
- Backend waits for PostgreSQL, Redis, and SuperTokens to be healthy
- Frontend waits for Backend to be healthy
- Approving sub-PRs
- Splitting & merging sub-PRs separately
- Adding reviewers and assignees to the PR
- Viewing checks and CI/CD
- Attaching images and media to comments
