What is CodeWolf?

CodeWolf is an open-source AI-powered code review engine that automatically reviews your pull requests and provides meaningful, structured feedback. It acts as your always-on first reviewer, helping you ship faster without compromising quality. It analyzes code diffs, identifies potential bugs, highlights security vulnerabilities, and suggests improvements directly inside your PR workflow. Unlike traditional tools, CodeWolf is:
  • LLM-agnostic (BYOK) - use your own model
  • Fully self-hostable - no vendor lock-in
  • Minimal and fast - no bloated dashboards or unnecessary noise

Why CodeWolf?

Faster Reviews

Reduce PR review time by catching issues before human review.

Security First

Identify vulnerabilities and risky patterns early in the development cycle.

No Lock-in

Bring your own LLM and run everything on your own infrastructure.

How it works

CodeWolf integrates directly into your GitHub workflow and acts as an automated first-pass reviewer for every pull request.
  1. GitHub webhook triggers on a pull request
  2. CodeWolf fetches changed files and builds context
  3. Sends structured input to your configured LLM
  4. Generates actionable feedback
  5. Posts a review directly on the pull request

Result

  • Faster PR cycles
  • Fewer missed issues
  • Consistent code quality
CodeWolf does not replace human reviewers. It makes them significantly more effective.
