Config

   CodeRabbit supports a versioned .coderabbit.yaml config with path-based instructions, glob-based path filters, AST-grep pattern rules, org-wide central configuration repos, and CLI command to inspect resolved config, directly matching the story's requirements. missing for 10: no explicit documentation of distinct 'review profiles' as a named feature, and no independent/hands-on validation of the config file workflow beyond vendor docs.

   Greptile~partialclaimed6/10

   Greptile documents a versioned `greptile.json` config file placed in the repo root that is read from the PR's source branch and overrides dashboard settings, supporting per-repo, version-controlled configuration; related settings like custom rules and strictness/nitpickiness controls are also documented as configurable dials. However, the evidence pack never explicitly confirms path-based filters, per-path instructions, or named 'review profiles' within that config schema — only that dashboard-level settings (rules, strictness) can be overridden via the file. Missing for 10: explicit greptile.json schema showing path-filter syntax, per-path instruction blocks, and named review-profile support.

Governance

1. engineering leadI roll out org-level review defaults across hundreds of repos and manage exceptions centrally

   weight 1 · round drawn
   CodeRabbit~partialclaimed7/10

   CodeRabbit documents a dedicated central-configuration repo for org-wide `.coderabbit.yaml` defaults, path-specific instructions, AST-grep rules, and auto-review toggles (branch/label/keyword-based skip rules) that together let a lead set org-level defaults and carve out exceptions, plus a dashboard for cross-org visibility. However, there is no first-party or community evidence describing exception management at 'hundreds of repos' scale, per-repo override auditing, or hands-on validation of central config at large scale. Missing for 10: evidence of scale-tested rollout across hundreds of repos, a dedicated exceptions/override management UI, and independent corroboration of centralized governance working at enterprise scale.

   Docs show org-level dashboard settings that apply by default, with per-repo greptile.json files that override those defaults for exceptions (greptile-docs-22), org admin controls like Settings → Code Review → Default Coding Agents (greptile-docs-34), and CLI onboarding that creates an org, connects GitHub/GitLab, and enables repositories in bulk (greptile-docs-31). This covers the core mechanics of setting org-wide defaults and per-repo exceptions, but there's no direct evidence of managing hundreds of repos at scale, bulk exception dashboards, role-based admin permissions, or audit/reporting tools for centralized governance. Missing for 10: explicit multi-repo/org-scale management UI, RBAC for admins, and evidence of exception tracking across hundreds of repos.

Rules

1. engineering leadI encode my team's own review guidelines — natural-language rules, AST patterns, or linked style guides — and the reviewer enforces them

   weight 2 · round to CodeRabbit
   CodeRabbit✓fullclaimed9/10

   CodeRabbit documents multiple concrete mechanisms for encoding team review guidelines: natural-language 'learnings' taught via chat (coderabbit-docs-7, -51), path-based instructions (coderabbit-docs-8, -48), AST-grep structural pattern rules (coderabbit-docs-9, -49), automatic detection of linked style-guide files like .cursorrules/CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md (coderabbit-docs-10), and org-wide centralized configuration repos (coderabbit-docs-14), directly matching all three named rule types in the story. Missing for 10: independent/hands-on evidence specifically confirming these custom-rule mechanisms work reliably in practice (community citations are about general review quality, not custom-rule enforcement).

   Greptile supports custom rules for team-specific issues, a greptile.json config file that overrides dashboard settings, indexing of existing rule files (Claude.md, AGENTS.md, cursor.rules), strictness/noise-control tuning, and a learning system that adapts from emoji reactions/comments — collectively covering natural-language rules, linked style-guide-like imports, and reinforcement learning of preferences.
