A PR review runs Strix on one pull request and shows the findings inline.

Ways to trigger a review

After you install the GitHub App on a repository, reviews start:
  • Automatically when a PR is opened (or marked ready for review). Strix does not review draft PRs.
  • Automatically on new pushes to an open PR when review_on_push is enabled in your PR review settings.
  • When you tag Strix in a PR comment. To start (or restart) a review, write @strix or @strix-security in a PR comment or an inline review comment. The commenter must be a repository owner, member, or collaborator. Comments from GitHub Apps and bots also start a review.
  • Through the API with POST /api/v1/pr-reviews/start (refer to the section below).
