Repeatability
Medium
The structural task — read diff, compare to rules, flag issues — is consistent. But each PR brings unique logic, context, and intent that shifts what counts as a real problem versus a false positive.
Ambiguity Tolerance
Medium
Style guide rules can be crisp, but 'buggy' is inherently ambiguous — it depends on runtime context, business logic, and intent the agent may not have access to. Success criteria are only partially defined.
Data & Tool Availability
Medium
GitHub/GitLab APIs make PR diffs accessible, and a style guide can be provided as a document. However, the agent typically lacks access to the broader codebase, runtime behavior, ticket context, and team conventions not written down anywhere.
Error Cost
Medium
False positives waste developer time and erode trust in the tool; false negatives let real bugs slip through. Neither outcome is catastrophic, but consistent errors degrade team workflow and code quality over time.
Human Judgment Required
Medium
Objective rule enforcement is well within AI capability, but judging whether a design choice is appropriate for the codebase, team velocity, or long-term maintainability still requires experienced human intuition.
