Changelog

Optibot now ships with a dedicated AppSec mode. On every PR it automatically surfaces OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, insecure dependency versions, injection risks, and secrets exposure — without any manual configuration.

Optibot is now available as a native Claude Code skill. Trigger a full code review from inside your AI coding session — no tab-switching, no copy-paste. The review comes back in the same chat with file-level context.

Improved multi-file reasoning, faster review latency, and better handling of large monorepo PRs. Plus: Optibot now understands your team's custom linting rules and incorporates them in every review.

New: ask Optibot follow-up questions directly on any review comment. Added support for test coverage analysis and detection of missing test cases for changed code paths.

Engineering Insights now shows PR size trends over time, reviewer load distribution, and a new "bottleneck score" that pinpoints exactly where cycle time is being lost.

Optibot's static analysis engine now flags unreachable functions, unused exports, and redundant abstractions — helping teams keep codebases clean as AI-generated code volumes increase.

Branch Review is a new mode that analyzes all commits in a PR together, giving Optibot full context of the entire changeset rather than reviewing commits individually.

Reviewed and tightened Optibot's output quality across the board. Summaries are now 40% shorter on average. Comments are more actionable. CI check output is cleaner and easier to skim.

Optibot now posts review summaries and productivity alerts directly to Slack. Get notified when a PR is ready to merge, when a review is blocked, or when an engineer is overloaded.

Optibot now automatically triggers a fresh review whenever new commits are pushed to an open PR, keeping your review always up to date without manual re-requests.

Optibot is now available in the Cursor editor. Run full code reviews and ask questions about your repository inside the AI-native editor you already use.

VS Code extension now supports all Optibot review features. GitLab integration improvements include better diff rendering, faster MR analysis, and inline comment threading.

The Optibot VS Code extension is now available. Review PRs, ask questions about your codebase, and get inline suggestions without leaving your editor.

GitLab now gets inline diff comments just like GitHub. Added on-demand compliance checks you can trigger any time. Re-reviews are now smarter — Optibot only re-examines what changed.

The Insights dashboard now lets you compare any individual engineer's metrics against team averages — PR cycle time, review turnaround, comment resolution rate, and more.

Optibot now understands cross-file dependencies and import chains at review time. The underlying architecture has been unified across GitHub and GitLab for consistent review quality.

Optibot now works with GitLab. Inline comments, MR summaries, and CI checks all work the same way as with GitHub. Review latency improved by 2× across all platforms.
