Shelob
Review local changes or a GitHub pull request against correctness checks and explicit rules. Inspect findings, saved reports, and publication receipts in the Codex sidebar.
Start
Install shelob@ai-tools from the AI Tools marketplace. In a project chat, ask Use Shelob to review my local changes. For a PR review, provide its URL. GitHub workflows require GitHub CLI authenticated to the target repository; local reviews do not require GitHub access.
Shelob's tools expose review lifecycle, source snapshots, rules, findings, and report views. The explicit /shelob:shelob-review skill coordinates review in the conversation. UI tools require a desktop host with MCP App support. A saved result includes its reviewed revision; an old report is not proof of the current diff.
Review execution may send selected source context to the model runtime. Publishing comments or approvals remains a separate authorized action with freshness and finding checks. Installation itself publishes nothing.
Data and updates
Reports, snapshots, rules, settings, and receipts default to ~/Library/Application Support/Shelob/. SHELOB_DATA_DIR selects another store. Review snapshots may contain private source; inspect exports before sharing them.
Follow updates and reopen the panel to load an installed update. Compare the displayed version with the installed release. Existing saved reports remain readable; updating code does not complete an interrupted review or retry an uncertain publication.
See compatibility, privacy and permissions, and supported systems. Build and test from the repository root using CONTRIBUTING.md.
See detailed review behavior and scanner usage for review modes, rule packs, report schemas, and advanced commands.
