Could you build this?
Partial A basic GitHub PR review bot is trivial to vibe code, but grounding reviews with full repository-wide semantic indexing and keeping false-positive rates low requires specialized code intelligence infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires GitHub App integrations, a background task queue, AST parsing via tree-sitter, and a hybrid vector/code-graph retrieval index to provide cross-file context for incoming PR diffs. The hard parts are filtering hallucinated comments and scaling multi-file context lookups across large repositories without high latency or API costs. Requires domain knowledge in program analysis, code indexing, and evaluation tuning.
