rev-local

A code reviewer that reads the whole repository and uploads none of it.

Engineers under a policy that forbids sending source to a third party, and engineers who never wanted to.

What it is

rev-local watches repositories already on your disk, reviews each new change with a coding CLI you already have installed, and publishes the findings back to wherever the work lives — a pull request, an issue tracker, a wiki.

Everything runs locally. The repository is never uploaded and the review engine is a process you control. It supports git, GitHub and Subversion, and a review can never mutate the repository under review.

Capabilities

What it actually does.

Engineers under a policy that forbids sending source to a third party, and engineers who never wanted to.

  1. git, GitHub

    git, GitHub and Subversion discovery with copy-on-review materialisation

  2. Full pipeline

    Full pipeline: depth selection, diff truncation, finding normalisation, fingerprinting and dedupe

  3. Process supervision

    Process supervision with an environment denylist that keeps credentials out of the review process

  4. SQLite store

    SQLite store with an audit log and a budget ledger; MCP client over stdio and streamable HTTP

How it works

3 moves, end to end.

This is how rev-local works, not a set of steps you can follow yet — it is in development and not distributed.

  1. Drop it in

    rev-local attaches to the repository or project you already have.

  2. Give it the job

    It takes a concrete task with a defined output, not an open-ended prompt.

  3. Review the result

    Everything it produces is a diff, a file or a report you approve before it counts.
