Review gone, bug finder is expensive

Feedback

In the recent version there is no longer Review tab, bug finder seems to do the same but better, but its’ SUPER expensive, for me, even few lines changes PR costs 5$. And I’m doing a lot of code review and AI helps me a lot to find some issues that can slip human eyes.

I’ve found workaround while waiting for the price reduction of bug finder. I need to switch to the branch I want to review and type those messages, the first one

I want you to code review this branch.
Let's do step by step, first of all, check README file for general app info.
Then check diff DIFF for the changes done.
Let me know which snippets I should send you, which models or workflows, so you can code review the branch and assess if changes introduce some bugs, or done incorrectly or in conflict with the existing implementations etc.

I replace README with special file readme_cursor.txt where I assemble general info about my app - stack, DB structure, small code snippets, tricks and unobvious things, styling etc etc.

For diff I type @diff and choosing:

I run it without codebase, it replies me with nice message what it wants to check, which models, files etc. using the context it established on the previous step.

Then I reply:

Now use CODEBASE to get snippets of code you need to review and provide a review

I replace CODEBASE with @codebase so it looks through the code.

I’ve done that with 3 PRs so far and can say that it’s usable - 80-90% of false positives (probably a bit more than with the old review method) and it’s harder to analyze when it’s in one message but it’s definitely usable at least for me

I am very sad that review is gone, I was a happy user of that feature. Hope we can get it back somehow! Meanwhile, thank you @dimitrypo for the suggested prompting

Me too, the feature is handy to me when I need to review PR. It helps recognize potential issues

Same, missing review! I was just getting to grips with it, it had a few flaws, but it was genuinely useful. I’d like to see it back.
