Thread 10 - risk adaptive pr review rules by change type

Original Post (Key Excerpt)

Advanced Kody tip: don’t apply the same review logic to every PR. A small fix, a large refactor, and a breaking change need different checks. With PR variables, you can make Kody Rules adapt to the PR context, like size, labels, description, and number of files changed. Create a Pull Request rule, click Variables, and use them directly in the instructions.

Why It Matches Ryva ICP

Teams with mixed PR sizes (hotfixes, refactors, breaking changes) needing risk-adaptive review policy. Strong fit for teams fighting review overload.

Underlying Problem

Uniform review policies either over-review low-risk changes or under-review high-risk ones, reducing throughput and increasing failure risk.

Suggested Public Response (Copy)

Applying one review template to every PR is usually where throughput and quality both break. Small fixes, refactors, and breaking changes need different gates. Risk-adaptive review policies keep fast paths fast while preserving depth where blast radius is higher.

Suggested DM Idea (Copy)

Do your review rules currently change based on PR risk profile, or does every change go through the same checklist?
