Llm-assisted hierarchical code review system

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method for automated code review, comprising receiving a code change request associated with a hierarchical organizational structure having multiple organizational levels, identifying a hierarchical position within the organizational structure corresponding to the code change request, retrieving a plurality of code review rules from a hierarchical knowledge base, wherein the hierarchical knowledge base stores code review rules organized according to the hierarchical organizational structure, and wherein the plurality of code review rules includes rules from multiple organizational levels of the hierarchical organizational structure, applying the plurality of code review rules to the code change request using a large language model to generate code review feedback, and providing the code review feedback for the code change request. The hierarchical knowledge base may be implemented using a retrieval-augmented generation system that stores organizational standards, best practices, and team-specific customizations in a vector database organized according to the hierarchical organizational structure.
