Graphite Reviewer
AI review for stacked PR workflows
About
Graphite Reviewer is an AI code review tool purpose-built for teams using stacked pull requests—a workflow where large features are broken into small, dependent PRs that are reviewed and merged in sequence. Traditional review tools struggle with stacked PRs because they review each PR in isolation, missing the dependency relationships. Graphite Reviewer understands the entire stack, providing context-aware feedback that respects the review order and dependency chain. Graphite Reviewer integrates deeply with the Graphite CLI and web platform. It auto-summarizes each PR in the stack, flags issues that cascade to dependent PRs, and manages a review queue that respects stack order. This makes it the only practical AI review option for teams that have adopted stacked PRs as their development workflow. Pricing is per-user with no free tier—this is a premium tool for teams committed to the stacked PR workflow. It is not useful outside the Graphite ecosystem. For teams using traditional PR workflows, CodeRabbit or Qodo provide better value. But for teams that have invested in stacked PRs and find standard review tools breaking their workflow, Graphite Reviewer is essential.
