IRA - Intelligent Review Assistant

IRA is an AI-powered code review tool that reviews pull requests before your team does. It reads the full PR diff, runs each changed file through an AI model, scores the overall risk from 0 to 100, and optionally validates changes against JIRA acceptance criteria. It posts inline comments directly on your PR with explanations, impact assessments, and suggested fixes. Available as both a CLI tool (npx ira-review) for CI pipelines and scripting, and a VS Code extension for interactive development. Everything runs locally. No code or credentials ever leave your infrastructure.

Key Features:

AI-Powered PR Reviews: Full diff analysis with inline comments covering severity, explanation, impact, and suggested fix
PR Risk Scoring (0 to 100): Composite score based on blockers, security issues, and complexity rated as LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or CRITICAL
JIRA Acceptance Criteria Validation: Validates if the PR actually implements what the JIRA ticket asked for. No other tool does this
SonarQube + AI Combined: SonarQube finds issues, AI explains why they matter and how to fix them
Test Case Generation: Generates tests from JIRA tickets in 8 frameworks including Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress, Pytest, JUnit, Mocha, and Gherkin
AI PR Description Generator: Auto-generates PR descriptions from diffs with JIRA ticket detection
Multi-LLM Support: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama (fully local), GitHub Copilot (zero config in VS Code)
Auto-Review on Save (Pro): Real-time review as you code
One-Click Apply Fix (Pro): AI generates a fix, shows a diff preview, and applies the change
Review History and Trends Dashboard (Pro): Track quality over time
Custom Team Rules: Use .ira-rules.json for project-specific review standards
Comment Deduplication: Re-runs only post new findings, never duplicates
Slack and Teams Notifications: Filtered by risk threshold
Privacy-First and Local-Only: No SaaS, no telemetry, no data leaves your machine
CI/CD Ready: Works in GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, and any CI

Target Market:

Software development teams using GitHub or Bitbucket for version control
Teams already using SonarQube who want AI-powered explanations on top of static analysis
JIRA-driven teams who need automated acceptance criteria validation
Privacy-conscious organizations in finance, healthcare, and government that cannot send code to third-party SaaS tools
Engineering managers who want visibility into PR quality and risk before merge
Solo developers and small teams who lack dedicated code reviewers

Growth Potential:

88 percent editor coverage with a single VS Code extension that also works in Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code forks
3 unique features no competitor offers: SonarQube plus AI reviews, JIRA AC validation, and JIRA-to-test generation
Positioned as the open-source CodeRabbit alternative at a lower price point ($10/mo vs $12 to $30/mo for competitors)
Already published on npm and VS Code Marketplace
Planned expansion includes Team tier at $8 per user per month, Enterprise tier with SSO/SAML and on-prem support, JetBrains plugin, and a GitHub App for one-click auto-review on every PR
Developer tools market is growing rapidly with AI adoption and IRA is local-first, which removes the number one enterprise blocker: data privacy
