Warning

Rate limit exceeded

@samanthajayasinghe has exceeded the limit for the number of commits that can be reviewed per hour. Please wait 16 minutes and 52 seconds before requesting another review.

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After the wait time has elapsed, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

We recommend that you space out your commits to avoid hitting the rate limit.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces hourly rate limits for each developer per organization.

Our paid plans have higher rate limits than the trial, open-source and free plans. In all cases, we re-allow further reviews after a brief timeout.

Please see our FAQ for further information.

Walkthrough

Adds a .coderabbit.yaml configuration enabling CodeRabbit AI automated reviews for a Go codebase, with auto_review rules, path filters, linter settings, knowledge_base scopes, and per-path review instructions for Go source, CLI, pkg APIs, and tests.

Summary

CodeRabbit configuration ​.coderabbit.yaml

Adds AI review config: en-US language, chill profile, auto_review (base: main, drafts: disabled, abort_on_close: enabled, auto_title_placeholder: "CodeRabbit", chat auto_reply). Enables golangci-lint, shellcheck, yamllint; disables markdownlint. Sets path_filters to exclude common non-code and vendor paths. Configures knowledge_base scopes and detailed per-path instructions for **/*.go, **/cmd/**/*.go, **/pkg/**/*.go, and **/*_test.go covering best practices, error handling, CLI validation, API design, tests determinism, concurrency, and security/resource cleanup.

.coderabbit.yaml (1)

16-17: base_branches: [main] is redundant if main is the default branch.

The schema's description for base_branches is "Base branches other than the default branch to review." The default branch is always reviewed automatically. Including main here is a no-op if it is the default branch; remove it or replace it with non-default branches that should also trigger reviews.

♻️ Proposed fix

   auto_review:
     enabled: true
     drafts: false
-    base_branches:
-      - main

- Around line 52-63: Move the top-level tools block into reviews.tools and
remove unsupported level keys: delete all "level" properties for golangci-lint,
shellcheck, and yamllint, and place the tools mapping under a reviews key (i.e.,
reviews.tools: with golangci-lint, shellcheck, yamllint, markdownlint entries).
Keep the enabled boolean flags as-is, and if you need golangci-lint custom
settings add an optional "config_file" under golangci-lint; ensure tool names
(golangci-lint, shellcheck, yamllint, markdownlint) are used exactly as shown
and that no "level" properties remain.

move the entire "tools:" mapping so it is a child of the existing "reviews:"
mapping (i.e., nested under reviews with correct indentation) so CodeRabbit
reads reviews.tools and activates golangci-lint, shellcheck, yamllint, and
markdownlint; verify there is no duplicate tools key and keep the enabled flags
as they are.
