Getting Started

crates.io

Revet is a developer-first code review agent that combines deterministic static analysis with selective LLM reasoning. It builds a persistent code intelligence graph first, then uses AI only for ambiguous findings.

Install​

cargo install revet

Initialize​

Run this once in your project root to create a .revet.toml config file:

revet init

First run​

Review changes against your main branch:

revet review

Review the entire codebase:

revet review --full .

What happens​

  1. File discovery — finds all supported source files (diff-based by default, --full for everything)
  2. Code graph — tree-sitter parses each file into a dependency graph (incremental: unchanged files load from cache)
  3. Baseline graph — loads the previous run's graph to detect breaking changes
  4. Impact analysis — detects breaking changes affecting other parts of the codebase
  5. Domain analyzers — regex-based pattern scanning for security, ML, infra, and more
  6. Suppression — filters out inline-suppressed, per-path-suppressed, and baselined findings
  7. Output — findings printed to terminal (or JSON/SARIF/GitHub annotations)
  8. Run log — full results (kept + suppressed) written to .revet-cache/runs/<id>.json

Viewing suppressed findings​

By default, suppressed findings are silently filtered. Pass --show-suppressed to see them with their reason:

revet review --show-suppressed

Inspecting past runs​

Every review writes a detailed log. View it with:

revet log                        # list recent runs
revet log --show <id>            # full JSON for a specific run

The terminal summary always shows the exact command at the end:

  Run log: revet log --show 1772142454966
