How Graphite Agent provides feedback

When Graphite Agent identifies an issue in a pull request, it adds a comment directly on the relevant lines of code. Each comment includes:
  1. A clear description of the problem
  2. An explanation of why it matters
  3. A concrete suggestion for how to fix it
You can see Graphite Agent’s comments, suggestions, and choose to commit suggestions — just like your teammates’.

​
Types of issues Graphite Agent identifies

Graphite Agent catches a wide range of issues that often slip through manual code review and testing:

​
Logic bugs

Graphite Agent identifies when your implementation doesn’t match the intended behavior, detecting issues like:
  • Functions that don’t accomplish what they’re named to do
  • Inconsistencies between code behavior and documentation
  • Mismatches between API usage and implementation
  • Off-by-one errors and incorrect loop boundaries

​
Edge cases

Graphite Agent finds potential failure modes that aren’t handled in your code:
  • Missing null checks or error handling
  • Race conditions in asynchronous code
  • Memory leaks and resource management issues
  • Unexpected side effects

​
Security vulnerabilities

Graphite Agent spots security issues before they reach production:
  • SQL injection vulnerabilities
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS) opportunities
  • Authorization bypass possibilities
  • Insecure cryptographic practices

​
Performance issues

Graphite Agent detects code that might cause performance problems:
  • Inefficient algorithms or data structures
  • Unnecessary API calls or database queries
  • Memory-intensive operations that could be optimized
  • N+1 query patterns

​
Accidentally committed code

Graphite Agent catches code that was likely not meant to be committed:
  • Debug statements and console logs
  • Test data and development configurations
  • Commented-out code blocks
  • Temporary workarounds

​
Tracking AI review impact

You can monitor AI review activity and impact from the AI code review dashboard, accessible via the AI code review settings page.
The Insights and metrics section provides:
  • Total issues found across all reviewed PRs, broken down by category (logic bugs, security issues, edge cases, etc.)
  • Statistics on PRs reviewed and issues that led to fixes
  • Comment feedback metrics showing upvote/downvote rates
  • Visual breakdown of issue types discovered

The Highlights feed shows impactful issues caught by Graphite Agent

The Highlights and Feed tabs let you:
  • View all comments Graphite Agent has left across your repositories
  • Filter by category to focus on specific types of issues
  • See prevented bugs and their potential impact
  • Review code snippets with inline explanations

​
How to check AI review status

For any pull request, you can see the AI review status in the right-hand panel of the PR page:
The status will show as:
  • Running: Graphite Agent is currently analyzing the PR
  • Completed: Graphite Agent has finished reviewing and left any relevant comments
  • Not running: The PR won’t be analyzed (e.g., if the PR exceeds 100,000 characters)
