README

Human-in-the-loop code review extension for Symfony AI Mate. AI agents can request code reviews from humans with a non-blocking, two-tool MCP pattern.

Features

• Two-phase review: Start returns immediately (non-blocking), then poll for completion
• Bidirectional chat: Agent and reviewer can ask questions during review (blocks on responses)
• Browser UI: Diff viewer with inline comments and code suggestions
• Token-efficient: TOON format reduces output by 40-50%
• Comment types: question, issue, suggestion, praise, nitpick, blocker

Installation

composer require matesofmate/self-review-extension
vendor/bin/mate discover

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• ext-pdo_sqlite
• Git repository

MCP Tools

self-review-start

Starts a review session and opens browser. Returns immediately (non-blocking).

Parameters:

• base_ref (string): Base git reference, default: "HEAD"
• head_ref (string): Head git reference, default: "HEAD"
• paths (array): Optional file paths to filter
• context (string): Context message shown to reviewer
• staged (bool): Review staged changes instead of refs

Returns: Session ID for checking results later

self-review-result

Checks if review is complete and retrieves results. Polls for events (review submitted or new questions) until timeout.

Parameters:

• session_id (string): Session ID from self-review-start
• timeout (int): Max seconds to wait, default: 60

Returns: Review results, pending questions, or waiting status

self-review-chat

Gets pending questions from reviewer about the code changes.

Parameters:

• session_id (string): Session ID from self-review-start

Returns: Questions that need answers

self-review-answer

Submits answer to a reviewer question.

Parameters:

• session_id (string): Session ID
• question_id (int): Question ID from self-review-chat
• answer (string): Your answer

CLI Usage

Standalone CLI for blocking code review (waits for completion):

# Review changes between main and HEAD
bin/self-review --base=main

# Review staged changes
bin/self-review --staged

# Review specific files
bin/self-review --path=src/Auth.php

# With context
bin/self-review --context="Please review the auth changes"

Main options: --base, --head, --staged, --path, --context, --port

Note: Chat is disabled in CLI mode since no agent is available to answer questions.
