Enforce standards in plain English
Write rules the way you’d explain them to a colleague. No regex, no YAML, no configuration overhead. Autter understands what you mean and applies your rules across every repo. Here are examples of rules teams enforce with Autter today:| Rule | Category |
|---|---|
| Detect security vulnerabilities | Security |
No direct process.env access — environment variables must be accessed through the config module | Security |
| Require error boundaries on all async UI components | Reliability |
Team learning
Autter watches how your team reviews code and picks up patterns, preferences, and institutional knowledge over time. As your team approves and rejects changes, Autter builds a model of what “good” looks like in your codebase. Examples of what Autter learns from your team’s review activity:- Include demo videos for UI changes — learned from reviewers consistently requesting recordings before approving frontend PRs
- Always include tests for payment flows — learned from senior engineers blocking payment-related PRs without test coverage
- Inconsistent invalidation implementation between team and non-team schedules — learned from multiple review threads flagging the same architectural inconsistency
Onboards from senior developer comments
Autter reads your senior developers’ PR comment history and learns from it directly. When a new hire opens their first PR, they get the same quality of feedback they’d get from your most experienced team member — not a generic linter. This means:- New developers learn your actual conventions from day one, not from documentation that may be outdated
- Senior engineers spend less time repeating the same feedback
- The review bar stays consistent regardless of who reviews a PR
Autter adapts feedback verbosity based on a developer’s history with the codebase. New contributors get detailed explanations with examples; experienced contributors get concise flags.
Catching AI-generated code issues
AI coding assistants generate between 30% and 60% of code in a typical PR today. This code compiles, passes tests, and reads cleanly — but can fail in ways that only surface under production load. Autter operates at the merge layer to catch issues traditional CI misses:findMany with in clauses in dozens of other places. It knows this loop generates one query per teamId and flags it — not because loops are bad, but because this specific pattern in this specific codebase is a performance regression.
Convention drift detection
Every codebase has unwritten rules. Autter learns them from your merge history and surfaces violations automatically:| What Autter detects | Example |
|---|---|
| Deprecated API usage | AI used legacy.createUser() instead of auth.register() |
| Naming convention violations | camelCase in a module that uses snake_case throughout |
| Import path deviations | Direct import from @internal/db instead of your team’s @app/data facade |
| Error handling pattern breaks | Throwing raw errors where the codebase wraps them in AppError |
| Test pattern mismatches | Unit test where integration tests are the established standard |
