Your week in reviews, as a mirror
A weekly summary of the code you reviewed and the patterns worth naming, both yours and the team's
- Runs while your laptop is closed
- Reports in Littlebird and by email
- Free plan includes 5 routines
You reviewed 11 pull requests this week, and one comment came up five times.
- Recurring: you asked for error handling on network calls five times, in pull requests from three authors.
- Themes: seven of your reviews were for the billing rewrite, mostly from Casey Reed and Sam Ortiz.
- For the team: three authors wrote their own retry logic this week, and one shared helper would cover all three.
The problem
Review feedback is the team's collective knowledge, delivered one comment at a time and then forgotten. The same mistake gets reviewed in twelve PRs, twelve times, forever.
Nobody steps back to see the pattern, because the pattern only exists across reviews, and nobody reads back through the week.
What it does
Every week, this routine summarizes what you reviewed: the themes in the code, the comments you keep writing, the patterns worth a team conversation.
You turn repeated review comments into one shared lesson. The twelfth identical nit becomes the last one.
Try the prompt
Copy it into a new Littlebird routine, then set the days and times that fit your schedule
- Open Littlebird and go to Routines. Open the menu next to New Routine and choose Set up manually.
- Paste the prompt into Instructions, then set the days and time under Run.
- Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. You can pause or edit it anytime. Auto-pause is on by default and pauses it if reports go unread.
You can also choose Create with Littlebird and describe the routine in chat.
Every Friday summarize the code I reviewed this week and note any patterns or recurring issues
Why make it a routine?
Chat skills wait for you. Routines do not.
With a skill in an AI chat app, you are the integration: copy the email, paste the calendar, explain the background, then carry the answer back out.
Littlebird skips the middleman. It reads the sources directly, runs on your schedule, and never sells your data.
Frequently asked questions
Is this about my code or others'?
Others'. It covers the code you reviewed and mirrors back the patterns in what you read and how you responded.
Can I share the summary with the team?
It is yours to share. Paste the patterns into a team channel and you can retire a whole class of comments.
What if I only need it for one project?
That is fine. Routines run on the free Basic plan, and Plus starts with 14 days free, then $17 a month billed annually or $20 month to month. Cancel when the project ends.
Do routines work on every plan?
Yes. Basic is free with up to 5 routines, and paid plans include up to 100: Plus is $17 a month billed annually or $20 month to month, Pro starts at $100 a month, and Team starts at $17 a seat. Plus starts with a 14-day free trial.
