1.7.0 – Introducing Kody Rules and Enhanced Review Flexibility

What’s New?

Kody Rules

We’ve merged the functionalities of Style Guide and Path Instructions into a unified, powerful feature: Kody Rules. This new structure makes it easier than ever to create customized instructions for your repositories. Here’s what you need to know:

  • All existing settings from Style Guide have been seamlessly migrated to Kody Rules.
  • You can now define clear, repository-specific guidelines and file-specific instructions directly within the Kody Rules panel.
  • Simplified configuration ensures faster setup and greater customization flexibility.

Severity Level Filtering

We’ve introduced a severity-level filter to give you greater control over Kody’s suggestions. Teams can now:

  • Set a minimum severity level (e.g., High or Critical) for suggestions.
  • Focus on the issues that matter most while reducing noise from stylistic or low-impact suggestions.

Quality Pipeline Improvements

Our quality pipeline has been upgraded to ensure a sharper, more relevant review process. Key improvements include:

  • Avoiding irrelevant suggestions: Kody now skips suggestions for parts of the code that haven’t been modified.
  • No stylistic-only suggestions: Feedback that doesn’t lead to meaningful improvements is automatically filtered out.
  • Breakage prevention: Suggestions that could introduce errors or instability are flagged or removed entirely.
