Totally different part of the reviewing experience, but I would love to see PR comments (or any revisions really) be automatically synced back to the context coding agents have about a codebase or engineer. There’s no reason nowadays for an engineer or a team of engineers to make the same code quality mistake twice. We manually maintain our agents.md with codebase conventions, etc, but it’d be great not to have to do that.

100%. A big part of code review in my mind is to automate away specific mistakes and anti-patterns across a team. I think there are a lot of interesting things to be done to merge the code writing and code reviewing cycles.

I've been working on that as a small open source tool: https://github.com/smithy-ai/smithy-ai

It keeps a repository with markdown files as the agent context, makes those available (via a simple search and summarise MCP) and when closing a merge request it checks whether the context needs updating based on the review comments. If it needs updating a PR is opened on the context repository with suggested changes/additions.
