Key Features

Corbulo provides continuous intelligence about your codebase through PR analysis, code health scoring, architecture review, multi-repository visibility, static analysis, and MCP integration.

---

​

PR Analysis

Every pull request is automatically analyzed when it is opened or updated. Corbulo goes beyond the diff to evaluate the PR in the context of the full codebase.

​

Classification

Each PR is classified along multiple dimensions:

• Intent. What the PR is trying to accomplish (feature, bug fix, refactor, chore, etc.).
• Change categories. Which areas of the codebase are affected (API, database, configuration, tests, etc.).
• Risk signals. Factors that increase the likelihood of issues (large scope, many files, cross-cutting changes).

​

Issue Detection

Issues are detected at five severity levels: In the merge readiness assessment, critical and high severity issues are treated as blocking, while medium and low are treated as advisory.

​

Merge Readiness

Every PR receives a merge readiness status:

• Blocked. Critical or high severity issues must be resolved before merging.
• Needs review. Advisory issues present. A human reviewer should evaluate before merging.
• Ready. No blocking or advisory issues detected.

​

Additional Capabilities

• Scope drift detection. Flags PRs that have grown beyond their original intent.
• Conflict detection. Identifies potential conflicts with other open PRs.
• Stacked PR awareness. Understands dependencies between stacked PRs.
• Health impact projection. Shows how the PR would affect the overall code health score if merged.

​

Code Health

Code health is a continuously updated assessment of your codebase quality. It is computed from issues detected across 8 weighted categories.

​

Categories and Weights

​

Scoring

• Range. 0 to 100, where 100 means no issues detected.
• Letter grade. A+ through F, derived from the numeric score.
• Size-normalized. Scores are calculated as issues per thousand lines of code, so large and small repositories are comparable.
• Weighted aggregation. Higher-weight categories have more impact on the overall score. A security issue affects the score more than a consistency issue.

​

Issue Management

• Dismiss rules. Create rules to suppress specific issues that are intentional or not applicable to your codebase. Dismissed issues do not count toward your health score.
• Drift alerts. Automatic notifications when your health score changes beyond a threshold. Catch regressions before they compound.

​

Architecture Review

Architecture review evaluates the structural quality of your codebase across four dimensions.

​

Dimensions and Weights

​

Convention Detection

Corbulo automatically detects the coding conventions and architectural patterns your team follows. Detected conventions are tracked over time, and conformance is measured as new code is added. This helps teams maintain consistency without relying on tribal knowledge.

​

Architecture Decision Records

ADRs are tracked with full lifecycle management:

• Proposed. A decision is under consideration.
• Accepted. The decision has been adopted.
• Deprecated. The decision is being phased out.
• Superseded. The decision has been replaced by a newer one.

​

Living Documentation

Corbulo generates and maintains documentation that stays in sync with your code. As your architecture evolves, the documentation updates automatically.

---

​

Multi-Repository

Corbulo is designed for teams that work across multiple repositories. A single project can contain any number of repositories, and all analysis and scoring works across the full set.

• Unified health score. The project-level health score aggregates across all repositories, giving you a single number for the overall state of your codebase.
• Cross-repo visibility. See how changes in one repository affect the broader system. PR analysis considers dependencies and patterns across repos.
• Consistent analysis. The same analyzers, conventions, and scoring rules apply across all repositories in a project.

---

​

Static Analysis

Corbulo runs language-specific static analyzers on your code and normalizes the results into a unified issue format with consistent severity mapping.

​

Supported Languages and Analyzers

Analyzers are auto-detected based on your codebase. If your repository contains Python files, Ruff and Bandit will run automatically. No manual configuration is required. Results from all analyzers are normalized into the same severity scale (critical, high, medium, low, info) and fed into the code health scoring system.

​

MCP Integration

Corbulo provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with 17 tools that connect your AI coding assistants to your project’s code health data, analysis results, and architecture information.

​

Compatible Tools

MCP integration works with any MCP-compatible AI coding tool, including:

• Claude Code — Anthropic’s CLI coding assistant
• Cursor — AI-powered code editor
• Windsurf — AI-powered development environment
• Claude Desktop — Anthropic’s desktop application

​

What You Can Do

With MCP connected, your AI coding assistant can:

• Query your project’s current health score and category breakdown
• List and filter analysis issues by severity, category, or file
• Review architecture dimensions and detected conventions
• Access PR analysis results and merge readiness status
• Retrieve drift alerts and health trends

This means your AI assistant has full context about your codebase quality when helping you write and review code.
