Code review against the rules your team actually wrote, not generic best practice. A cheap generator finds problems, an independent judge refutes them against full files, so the noise stays down. Two tools for the agent loop (getteamrules, reviewchanges), plus a pre-push gate and a bot on GitLab/GitHub pull requests. Single binary, no Node or Docker; bring your own model key.
Azure DevOps integration for repository management, work items, and pipelines.
