Pull Requests

Every stuck PR is a feature that hasn't shipped. Unstick them.

A complete view of every pull request: what's blocked, what's been rubber-stamped, what's sitting untouched. Spot hotfixes, unreviewed merges, and large PRs becoming a pattern before they become a delivery problem.

From stuck to shipped, in four views.

Know which PRs need attention right now

Filter to Ready to Review, Ready to Merge, or PRs open longer than expected in one click. Reviewers stop hunting. Developers stop waiting. Features move.

Know why cycle time is slow before anyone asks

PR size vs review time shows whether large PRs are dragging review up. Cycle time trend shows how many crossed 5 days each week. Both views together make the fix obvious.

Know whether quick reviews were actually thorough

Every PR's comment count links to an AI-categorized breakdown of reviewer feedback. Flashy reviews flag large PRs approved in minutes. Unreviewed PR rate shows how often code ships without review.

See AI code per PR, including hotfixes

Every PR shows the split between AI-generated and human-written code, with a confidence score. Filter to hotfixes and sort by AI %. The pattern surfaces before reliability becomes a problem.

Four tabs. Every angle on engineering effort.

Frequently asked questions

Which PRs does Hivel flag as needing attention?

Four quick filter states: Ready to Review (open, unblocked, awaiting feedback), Ready to Merge (approved, not yet merged), PRs over 400 lines, and cycle time over 5 days. Both size and time thresholds are configurable.

What is a flashy review, and should we worry about them?

A PR over 200 lines approved in under 5 minutes. A signal the review probably missed what it should have caught. Hivel lets you filter to flashy reviews instantly and see exactly which PRs and reviewers are involved. Threshold configurable.

How does Hivel categorize PR comments?

Hivel's AI reads every comment and assigns one or two labels from a fixed set: LGTM, Refactor, Buggy, Controversial, Code Quality, Readability, Testing, Compliance, Maintainability. The breakdown is visible per PR by clicking the comment count.
