Bugbot: Allow skipping reviews based on conditionals like branch prefixes and/or labels

Feature request for product/service

BugBot

Describe the request

Hello! We would like to be able to team-wide skip Bugbot reviews for specific PRs, based on the branch prefix or PR label. We have some PRs that have already gone through Bugbot review and don’t need an additional review before pushing.

Previously we were able to get around this by using a BUGBOT.md, but we haven’t had consistent results the last couple months, I’m assuming due to the January metadata update.

Operating System (if it applies)

Windows 10/11
MacOS
Linux

Hi @Katrin_Jacobsen ! Thanks for your post.
Yes, putting those instructions in the BugBot.md can help, but it’s not a guarantee, and can’t stop BugBot from running on those PRs.

There is a ticket open for this internally, so there is visibility; however, I want to give you a couple of suggestions available today that may be close to what you’re looking for.

You can go into Bugbot Settings: https://cursor.com/dashboard/bugbot where you can toggle on the following option: Only Run Once Automatically (ignore new pushes). You could then trigger follow-up reviews if you would like by commenting bugbot run or @Cursor review to have BugBot take another pass.
