The accessCode AI Reviewer is built into your GitHub workflow to provide accessibility feedback as you work. It runs automatically in the background and can also be triggered manually when needed.
Automatic reviews
By default, the AI Reviewer works automatically the background.
Reviews are triggered:
- Opening a pull request: The AI Reviewer starts scanning code changes as soon as a new pull request is created.
- Updating code: Whenever you push new commits to an open PR, the AI Reviewer scans the latest changes.
- Resolving issues: If a previously reported issue is fixed, the AI Reviewer updates its original comment with a green checkmark.
This helps you track progress without manually re-running scans.
On-demand reviews
You can manually trigger a review in GitHub at any time. This is useful when:
-
Automatic reviews are disabled in your
.accesscode.ymlfile - You want to re-run a scan without pushing new code
To run a review on-demand
- Navigate to your PR.
- Go to the Reviewers section in the right-hand sidebar.
- Select the settings icon (⚙️) next to Reviewers.
- Select the accessCode app from the list.
The AI Reviewer will immediately run a new scan on your latest changes.
