Comment on Show HN: I built a tool to assist AI agents to know when a PR is good to goparent

Comments

This tool seems agent-oriented for them to merge, rather merely check readiness. In that regard, the page doesn't mention anything about human reviewers, only AI reviewers. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if author, someone seemingly running fully agentic workflows, didn't even consider human reviewers. If it's AI start-to-end*, then yes, quite possibly could push directly to master without much difference.

Call me pessimistic, and considering [1][2][3] (and other similar articles/discussions), believe this tool will be most useful to AI PR spammers the moment is modified to also parse non-AI PR comments.

*Random question: is it start-to-end or end-to-end?

edit: P.S. Agree that it's useful, given its design goals, tool though.
