What is Open Code Review?

Open Code Review is an open-source code review system that combines deterministic analysis pipelines with an LLM agent to leave precise, line-level comments. It ships with a built-in multi-language ruleset covering NPE, thread-safety, XSS and SQL injection, and works with OpenAI and Anthropic models. Designed for teams that want fast, explainable reviews without drowning in noisy AI suggestions.
