Intro

Sourcery is an automated AI code reviewer for GitHub PRs plus an IDE assistant, helping teams reduce review time with summaries and inline suggestions.

  • Best for: teams that want lightweight review assistance on every PR without asking reviewers to write repetitive feedback
  • Works with: GitHub PR workflows, Sourcery GitHub App, optional IDE plugins for interactive refactors
  • Setup time: 6 minutes

Practical Notes

  • Public repos/open source are free per README; private repos mention a 14-day free trial
  • README states code diffs may be sent to OpenAI/Anthropic providers, and data retention is limited (up to 30 days) — review your policy needs

When It’s a Good Fit (and When It Isn’t)

Sourcery shines for “always-on” feedback loops:

  • Fast summaries so reviewers orient quickly
  • Suggestion hints for readability/perf issues
  • Consistent style reminders without human nagging

But it’s not a substitute for security ownership or architectural review. A good practice is to pair it with:

  • A lightweight PR checklist (threat model, logging, tests)
  • A security review gate for risky repos
  • Clear rules on what code can be shared with third-party model providers

If you need strict policy, make sure your team’s data handling requirements match the README’s privacy notes.

FAQ

Q: Is it free for open source? A: The README states it’s free for public repos; private repos have a trial and paid plans.

Q: Does it send code to model providers? A: Yes. The README mentions using OpenAI and Anthropic for parts of reviews.

Q: Can I use it in the IDE? A: Yes. The README links to VS Code and JetBrains integrations.
