relevant file	backend/agent/coding_agent.py
suggestion	Consider verifying the impact of removing the break statement on the control flow and functionality of the query method. If the removal introduces issues, you might need to reintroduce it or implement an alternative control mechanism. [important]
relevant line	# Removed redundant break statement

---

relevant file	backend/agent/coding_agent.py
suggestion	Ensure that the removal of print statements does not affect any debugging or monitoring mechanisms that rely on console output. If necessary, consider implementing a more structured logging approach that can be enabled or disabled as needed. [medium]
relevant line	# Removed unnecessary print statement

✨ Review tool usage guide:

---

Overview:
The review tool scans the PR code changes, and generates a PR review. The tool can be triggered automatically every time a new PR is opened, or can be invoked manually by commenting on any PR.
When commenting, to edit configurations related to the review tool (pr_reviewer section), use the following template:

/review --pr_reviewer.some_config1=... --pr_reviewer.some_config2=...

With a configuration file, use the following template:

[pr_reviewer]
some_config1=...
some_config2=...

Utilizing extra instructions The review tool can be configured with extra instructions, which can be used to guide the model to a feedback tailored to the needs of your project. Be specific, clear, and concise in the instructions. With extra instructions, you are the prompter. Specify the relevant sub-tool, and the relevant aspects of the PR that you want to emphasize. Examples for extra instructions: [pr_reviewer] # /review # extra_instructions=""" In the 'possible issues' section, emphasize the following: - Does the code logic cover relevant edge cases? - Is the code logic clear and easy to understand? - Is the code logic efficient? ... """ Use triple quotes to write multi-line instructions. Use bullet points to make the instructions more readable.

How to enable\disable automation When you first install PR-Agent app, the default mode for the review tool is: pr_commands = ["/review", ...] meaning the review tool will run automatically on every PR, with the default configuration. Edit this field to enable/disable the tool, or to change the used configurations

Auto-labels The review tool can auto-generate two specific types of labels for a PR: a possible security issue label, that detects possible security issues (enable_review_labels_security flag) a Review effort [1-5]: x label, where x is the estimated effort to review the PR (enable_review_labels_effort flag)

Extra sub-tools The review tool provides a collection of possible feedbacks about a PR. It is recommended to review the possible options, and choose the ones relevant for your use case. Some of the feature that are disabled by default are quite useful, and should be considered for enabling. For example: require_score_review, require_soc2_ticket, and more.

Auto-approve PRs By invoking: /review auto_approve The tool will automatically approve the PR, and add a comment with the approval. To ensure safety, the auto-approval feature is disabled by default. To enable auto-approval, you need to actively set in a pre-defined configuration file the following: [pr_reviewer] enable_auto_approval = true (this specific flag cannot be set with a command line argument, only in the configuration file, committed to the repository) You can also enable auto-approval only if the PR meets certain requirements, such as that the estimated_review_effort is equal or below a certain threshold, by adjusting the flag: [pr_reviewer] maximal_review_effort = 5

More PR-Agent commands To invoke the PR-Agent, add a comment using one of the following commands: /review: Request a review of your Pull Request. /describe: Update the PR title and description based on the contents of the PR. /improve [--extended]: Suggest code improvements. Extended mode provides a higher quality feedback. /ask <QUESTION>: Ask a question about the PR. /update_changelog: Update the changelog based on the PR's contents. /add_docs 💎: Generate docstring for new components introduced in the PR. /generate_labels 💎: Generate labels for the PR based on the PR's contents. /analyze 💎: Automatically analyzes the PR, and presents changes walkthrough for each component. See the tools guide for more details. To list the possible configuration parameters, add a /config comment.

PR Code Suggestions

Category	Suggestions
Best practice	Handle exceptions instead of passing them silently. Consider handling the exception json.JSONDecodeError instead of passing it silently. Silent exception handling can obscure errors and make debugging more difficult. You could log the error or handle it in a way that's appropriate for your application context. backend/agent/coding_agent.py [174-175] except json.JSONDecodeError as e: - pass + logger.error(f"JSON decoding failed: {e}")
	Confirm logic functions as intended after removing a break statement. After removing the redundant break statement, ensure that the logic of your code still functions as intended without it. If the break was controlling the flow of a loop, its removal might lead to unexpected behavior or infinite loops. Review the surrounding code to confirm or adjust the logic accordingly. backend/agent/coding_agent.py [177] -# Removed redundant break statement +# Ensure loop or conditional logic is correctly managed without the break statement
Possible issue	Ensure the role is "system" after removing an assertion. The removal of the assertion assert keyword_args["messages"][0]["role"] == "system" may lead to unexpected behavior if the role is not "system". Consider adding a check to ensure that the role is "system" and handle the case where it is not, to maintain the integrity of your application logic. backend/agent/coding_agent.py [149] -# Removed unnecessary print statement +if keyword_args["messages"][0]["role"] != "system": + raise ValueError("Expected the role to be 'system'")
	Verify the logic change with the new condition matches intended functionality. The condition if sys_only: changes the logic from the original if include_messages:. Ensure that this change in condition correctly reflects the intended functionality. If sys_only is meant to be the opposite of include_messages, consider renaming it to exclude_messages or adjusting the logic to clearly reflect the intended behavior. backend/agent/coding_agent.py [399] -if sys_only: +if not include_messages: # Assuming sys_only is the opposite of include_messages
Enhancement	Consider using a logging framework instead of print statements. Removing print statements for cleanup is good, but consider implementing a logging framework for your application. This allows you to enable or disable logging dynamically, and to log at different levels (info, debug, warning, error) as appropriate. This way, you can keep important logs and remove only the unnecessary ones. backend/agent/coding_agent.py [131] -# Removed unnecessary print statement +import logging +logging.info("Message Count: ", len(keyword_args["messages"]))

Overview:
The improve tool scans the PR code changes, and automatically generates suggestions for improving the PR code. The tool can be triggered automatically every time a new PR is opened, or can be invoked manually by commenting on a PR.
When commenting, to edit configurations related to the improve tool (pr_code_suggestions section), use the following template:

/improve --pr_code_suggestions.some_config1=... --pr_code_suggestions.some_config2=...

With a configuration file, use the following template:

[pr_code_suggestions]
some_config1=...
some_config2=...

Enabling\disabling automation When you first install the app, the default mode for the improve tool is: pr_commands = ["/improve --pr_code_suggestions.summarize=true", ...] meaning the improve tool will run automatically on every PR, with summarization enabled. Delete this line to disable the tool from running automatically.

Utilizing extra instructions Extra instructions are very important for the improve tool, since they enable to guide the model to suggestions that are more relevant to the specific needs of the project. Be specific, clear, and concise in the instructions. With extra instructions, you are the prompter. Specify relevant aspects that you want the model to focus on. Examples for extra instructions: [pr_code_suggestions] # /improve # extra_instructions=""" Emphasize the following aspects: - Does the code logic cover relevant edge cases? - Is the code logic clear and easy to understand? - Is the code logic efficient? ... """ Use triple quotes to write multi-line instructions. Use bullet points to make the instructions more readable.

A note on code suggestions quality While the current AI for code is getting better and better (GPT-4), it's not flawless. Not all the suggestions will be perfect, and a user should not accept all of them automatically. Suggestions are not meant to be simplistic. Instead, they aim to give deep feedback and raise questions, ideas and thoughts to the user, who can then use his judgment, experience, and understanding of the code base. Recommended to use the 'extra_instructions' field to guide the model to suggestions that are more relevant to the specific needs of the project, or use the custom suggestions 💎 tool With large PRs, best quality will be obtained by using 'improve --extended' mode.
