PRism: Open-Source AI-Driven Code Review Tool

Say Goodbye to Tedious Code Reviews—and Hello to Flexible AI-Driven Reviews

PRism is an open-source, self-hosted AI-powered tool designed to automate and enhance reviews of code, documentation, and more. It empowers teams to enforce standards, streamline workflows, and improve security without vendor lock-in or hidden costs. Whether running locally, on private servers, or in the cloud, PRism gives you the flexibility to choose any language model (LLM), including self-hosted ones via Ollama or open-source alternatives.

🌟 Key Features

1️⃣ Customizable Review Rules

• Define your team's standards in a RULES.md, YAML, or JSON file.
• Use PRism to enforce:
  • For code: Naming conventions, logging consistency, and error handling practices.
  • For documentation: Grammar, formatting, and style guidelines.
  • For security: Framework-specific best practices and OWASP standards.
• Example: PRism flags snake_case variables in a camelCase project or suggests clearer documentation phrasing.

2️⃣ Static Analysis + AI-Powered Review

• Combines traditional tools (like ESLint or GolangCI-Lint) with advanced AI reasoning to:
  • Analyze PRs based on RULES.md.
  • Highlight style, security, and architectural concerns.
  • Suggest improvements for both code and documentation.

3️⃣ LLM Recommendation System

PRism includes a built-in frontend to guide users in selecting the best LLM for their use case:

• For code reviews: Opt for models like OpenAI Codex or Mistral.
• For documentation reviews: Use AI better suited for writing, such as GPT-4 or Claude.
• Recommendations include:
  • Open-source models for privacy-conscious users.
  • Cloud-hosted APIs for rapid setup.
  • Cost estimates for closed-source models, helping teams budget their usage.

4️⃣ Flexible Hosting Options

• Run PRism locally, on private servers, or in the cloud:
  • Self-hosted LLMs via Ollama for maximum privacy and control.
  • Cloud-based APIs like OpenAI or Google Vertex AI for quick deployment.
• Fully customizable to balance performance, cost, and context-length needs.

5️⃣ More Than Just Code

PRism can review more than code—use it to:

• Evaluate technical documentation for clarity and consistency.
• Assess markdown or YAML files for formatting and adherence to standards.
• Extend beyond development teams to writers, marketers, and DevOps workflows.

💡 How It Works

1. Input: PRism reads your RULES.md and any files you've selected for review (code, documentation, or both).
2. Analysis:
   • Static analysis identifies common issues.
   • LLMs process nuanced requirements like tone, consistency, or security.
3. Output: Feedback is provided via:
   • PR comments in GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket.
   • CLI results for local review.
   • Detailed JSON, Markdown, or PDF reports.

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Define Your Rules

Create a RULES.md file with your team's standards:

• For code: Naming conventions, error handling, logging structure.
• For documentation: Grammar rules, formatting styles, or tone guidelines.

Step 2: Choose Your LLM

Use PRism's frontend to get personalized recommendations for:

• The best LLM for your use case (code, documentation, or both).
• Cost estimates for closed-source APIs like OpenAI.
• Open-source alternatives for teams prioritizing privacy.

Step 3: Run PRism

• Integrate PRism into your CI/CD pipeline for automated pre-merge checks.
• Use the CLI tool to review locally before pushing changes.
• Schedule periodic reviews to ensure codebase health.

🤔 Why PRism?

PRism is designed for developers, writers, and teams who want:

• Full control over their workflows without vendor lock-in.
• Flexibility to adapt AI to diverse tasks like reviewing documentation or analyzing code.
• A scalable, cost-transparent solution for AI-powered reviews.

Real-World Example

For a team using GitHub for code and documentation:

• Use GPT-4 for reviewing technical docs (better at writing than coding).
• Leverage Codex or Mistral for code-related tasks.
• Customize prompts for each type of review for best results.
