GUIDE

PR chat

Ask questions about a pull request, and about Pyor itself, in a chat beside the diff.

Click Ask AI on the Changes toolbar to open the PR chat beside the diff. It shares a slot with the hints rail, so opening one closes the other. It uses the provider set for Ask AI in Settings › AI › Who does what.

What it can do

  • Answer questions about the PR: what changed, why a line changed, what is risky, what is not tested. Start from a suggestion such as What is the riskiest change here?
  • Read any file in the repository at the PR's head commit, search the diff, grep the repository, and read the review threads.
  • Cite files and lines you can click.
  • Answer how Pyor works, from this guide.
  • Select lines in the diff first to ask about just those lines.

What it cannot do

The chat only reads. It cannot edit files, push commits, post comments, change your settings, regroup the file rail or start a review. Ask it, for example, Which files change existing code? and it lists them. Then use the control it names, such as Group by › AI with a Custom instruction (see Group the files in a PR).

Composer keys

  • Enter sends, or queues the message while an answer is still running.
  • ⌘Enter (Ctrl+Enter) steers the answer that is running.
  • Alt+↑ pulls a queued message back to edit.

New conversation starts fresh. Earlier conversations stay as tabs on that PR, and a running answer keeps going in the runs dock if you leave the page.
