What Devin Review Is

Devin Review is an AI code review platform that hooks into GitHub PRs. It:

1. Reads instruction files in the repo (REVIEW.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, *.rules, *.mdc)
2. Analyzes diffs with the Bug Catcher, classifying findings as Bugs (severe/non-severe) or Flags (investigate/informational)
3. Posts reviews with smart diff organization, copy/move detection, and inline comments synced to GitHub
4. Supports auto-review on PR open, push, and ready-for-review events

The critical insight: REVIEW.md is the primary mechanism for customizing what Devin's Bug Catcher looks for. Well-written review guidelines make the difference between noise and catching real bugs. Devin reads REVIEW.md at any directory level (**/REVIEW.md), so you can scope guidelines to subdirectories in monorepos.
