Open-source tool uses local LLMs for private code review
A developer built a free, open-source CLI tool that uses local LLMs via Ollama to review entire codebases or pull requests without sending data to the cloud. It supports directory scanning, PR diff analysis, and piped input, automatically ignoring bulky folders. The tool dynamically adjusts prompts based on input type, focusing on architecture or bug detection.
