Customizing AI code review with team skills, standards, and external context

AI code review uses repository- or organization-specific agent skills, review instructions, coding standards, and read-only external context from connected systems such as issue trackers, documentation platforms, and service catalogs so pull request feedback reflects both local conventions and broader development context.

Why the human is still essential here

Engineers and reviewers still define the standards, create the instructions and connected context, decide which external sources and MCP servers to trust, and make the final judgment on code quality, risks, and merge readiness.
