coderabbit

A guide to CodeRabbit, an AI code-review tool for pull requests and local changes. It covers its command-line tool, configuration, supported checks, pull-request commands, and finding triage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code, configure review rules, inspect pull requests or local changes, triage findings, and fix individual review issues.
Why use it?
It helps you set up reviews correctly and handle findings consistently. It also checks prerequisites such as installation, login, and whether the Git repository has a commit.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

coderabbit scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run_coderabbit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Prerequisites Check (MUST RUN BEFORE REVIEW)

Before running CodeRabbit CLI, verify ALL of the following:

# 1. CLI installed?
which coderabbit || echo "MISSING: install with: curl -fsSL https://cli.coderabbit.ai/install.sh | sh"

# 2. Authenticated?
coderabbit auth status 2>&1 | grep -q "Logged in" || echo "MISSING: run coderabbit auth login"

# 3. Git repo has at least one commit? (CRITICAL — CLI crashes with GitError on empty repos)
git rev-parse HEAD >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "MISSING: repo has no commits — make at least one commit first"

# 4. Base branch exists? (CLI defaults to 'main')
git rev-parse main >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "WARNING: 'main' branch not found — use --base <branch>"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

coderabbit is a skill published in the GitHub repository itechmeat/llm-code (22 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 2,899 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
