### How is this list of AI code review repos chosen?

Deduped tracks the hottest AI repos on GitHub and writes step-by-step use cases from each README. For this page we picked the repos that do this job, ordered by fit and then GitHub stars. Repos with a risk flag or a retired page are left out. The page is rebuilt with the site; stars are as of the last build in 2026.

Third-party repos we don't own or vouch for. AI-written use cases can be wrong: review everything and run at your own risk.
