# Focused agents

> Add focused checks for repository risks that need more attention than the default review.

Focused agents extend the core review with checks for a specific engineering concern. Use them when one type of risk recurs in a repository.

Examples can include checks for:

* dependency risk
* code complexity
* test coverage changes
* public code documentation
* frontend bundle size
* license policy
* N+1 query patterns
* accessibility issues

## Choose a focused check

Enable a focused check when:

* the repository uses the relevant framework or package ecosystem
* maintainers agree on the expected behavior
* the finding can be verified from code or build output
* the expected signal is worth the additional review volume

Avoid enabling every available check at once. Start with the repository's highest-risk area, review the output, and expand gradually.

## Focused agents and custom rules

Use a [custom rule](/guides/custom-rules) for an organization-specific standard written in natural language.

Use a focused agent for a specialized analysis domain such as dependency auditing or accessibility.

Use [codebase scans](/features/codebase-scans) when you need a broader repository-wide assessment.
