Quickstart

Connect your first repository to Korvu and ship your first AI-reviewed pull request — typically in under two minutes.

Install the GitHub App

From the Korvu app, choose Connect GitHub. You'll be redirected to GitHub to install the Korvu app on the org or user account that owns the repo you want to review.

Org admin only You need admin on the GitHub org to install. Ask your platform team if you're not sure.

Select repos

Choose repos individually, or select "All current and future" — new repos created later will inherit your org's default policies automatically.

# Optional: install via the GitHub CLI
gh auth refresh -h github.com -s admin:org
gh api -X POST "/orgs/<org>/installations" \
  -F app_id=123456 \
  -F repository_selection="all"

Configure (optional)

Korvu reviews everything sensibly by default. To customize, drop a .korvu.yml in the repo root:

version: 1
review:
  depth: standard     # quick · standard · thorough
  comment_style: inline+summary
paths:
  ignore:
    - "**/*.lock"
    - "vendor/**"

Validation Files are validated on push. If your YAML is invalid, the previous policy keeps applying — Korvu never silently downgrades behavior.

Open a pull request

Push a branch and open a PR. Korvu acks the webhook in <200ms, queues the review, and posts inline + summary comments — typically within 30-90 seconds depending on diff size.

You can watch it live in the Reviews tab, or wait for the comments to appear directly on the PR.
