ReviewGate/reviewgate

**AI code review by your team's standards** — in the editor while the agent works, at the
pre-push hook, and again on the pull request.
Free. Self-hosted. Bring your own model key: the code never leaves your infrastructure,
and nothing is reported back to the vendor.

Why it is not another AI reviewer
A general-purpose model tells you about SQL injection in the abstract. ReviewGate reads the
agreements your team actually wrote — the ADRs, the conventions, the rules in
.reviewgate/config.yml — and reports the places where this change breaks them. A finding
that quotes your own rule is one a reviewer can act on; a finding that quotes a textbook is
one they scroll past.
The review runs in three places, on the same rules and the same judge:
| Where | What it does |
|---|---|
| **CLI** | reviewgate review over staged, uncommitted or committed changes |
| **Pre-push hook** | refuses a git push that carries blocking findings |
| **MCP server** | the coding agent calls the review itself, before the request exists |
| **Bot on GitLab / GitHub** | summary, inline findings, one-click fixes, a gate on the merge |
Two passes under the hood: a cheap generator looks for problems, a stronger judge refutes
them against the code, and only what survives is published. That is what keeps the noise
down — the numbers behind it are on the site.
Install
CLI — one file, no Node and no Docker
Download the archive for your platform from
the latest release, unpack, put
it on your PATH:
Platforms: darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-x64, linux-x64-musl, linux-arm64,
win-x64. Checksums are published with every release as SHA256SUMS.
The same files are served from the site — https://reviewgate.dev/docs/agents lists every
platform with its download command — use whichever is faster for you.
Claude Code plugin
Two commands wire everything at once: the MCP tools (get_team_rules,
review_changes), a pre-push review gate, and the skills that make the agent
review its changes before calling work done. The plugin needs the CLI binary
from the section above.
Or from the shell: claude plugin marketplace add ReviewGate/reviewgate,
then claude plugin install reviewgate@reviewgate.
