## Install

Save the content below to `.claude/skills/` or append to your `CLAUDE.md`:

## Quick Use

1. Install the GitHub App:
   - https://github.com/apps/sourcery-ai/installations/new
2. Open a PR and wait for Sourcery to comment with summary + suggestions.
3. (Optional) Install the IDE plugin (VS Code / JetBrains) from the links in the README.

## 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.

## 快速使用

1. 安装 GitHub App：
   - https://github.com/apps/sourcery-ai/installations/new
2. 打开一个 PR，等待 Sourcery 自动发布摘要与建议。
3. （可选）按 README 链接安装 IDE 插件（VS Code / JetBrains 等）。

## 简介

Sourcery 是自动化 AI code reviewer：可作为 GitHub PR 评审机器人提供摘要与逐行建议，也提供 IDE 助手形态，用来缩短 review 周期并减少重复性评审反馈，适合“每个 PR 都要看”的团队。

- **适合谁：** 希望每个 PR 都有轻量 review 辅助、减少重复性评审意见的团队
- **可搭配：** GitHub PR 工作流、Sourcery GitHub App、可选 IDE 插件用于交互式重构
- **准备时间：** 6 分钟

## 实战建议

- README 说明：公有仓库/开源项目可免费使用；私有仓库提供 14 天试用
- README 说明：diff 可能会发送给 OpenAI/Anthropic，且保留期最长 30 天——请结合团队合规策略评估

## 适用场景与边界

Sourcery 适合“持续在线”的反馈环：

- 先给出摘要，帮助 reviewer 快速定位重点
- 对可读性/性能等提出建议，减少重复点评
- 用一致的风格提醒替代人工唠叨

但它不应替代安全负责人或架构评审。更合理的搭配是：

- PR checklist（威胁模型、日志、测试等）
- 对高风险仓库的安全审计 gate
- 明确哪些代码允许发送给第三方模型服务

如果你的团队对数据合规要求更严格，请先对照 README 的隐私说明评估是否匹配。

### FAQ

**开源仓库免费吗？**
答：README 说明公有仓库免费；私有仓库有试用期与付费方案。

**会把代码发给模型服务吗？**
答：会。README 提到会使用 OpenAI 与 Anthropic 来生成部分评审内容。

**能在 IDE 里用吗？**
答：可以，README 提供 VS Code 与 JetBrains 等集成链接。
