Getting started with the Optibot Configuration Settings

Last updated on Apr 17, 2026

Customize how Optibot behaves across your repositories directly from the Optibot dashboard. Each repository gets its own configuration. Toggle features on or off, set review triggers, manage exclusions, and more. Changes take effect immediately with no files to commit or maintain.

Access your settings at: agents.getoptimal.aiConfiguration tab

Reviews

Control when and how Optibot reviews pull requests on this repository.

  • Auto review — Automatically review every PR on open. (Recommended)

  • Auto review on draft — Include draft PRs in automatic reviews.

  • Auto review on push — Trigger a new review whenever commits are pushed to an open PR.

  • Auto review after workflow — Trigger a review only after a CI workflow completes. Useful if you want reviews to run post-build rather than immediately on open.

  • Allow approve — Allow Optibot to approve PRs that pass all checks.

  • Code suggestions — Allow Optibot to generate inline code suggestions during reviews when needed.

  • Skip files — Files or patterns that should be excluded from the review process (e.g. *.md, docs/*).

  • Sensitivity — Controls the strictness of the review. Low, Medium, or High. Medium is recommended for most teams.

  • Excluded labels — PRs carrying any of these labels are skipped for automatic reviews (e.g. wontfix).

  • Excluded users — PRs authored by these usernames are skipped for automatic reviews (e.g. bot-account).

  • Suppress repeated issues — When enabled, issues already raised in a previous review are moved to a collapsible section instead of being posted as new inline comments.


Summary

Control when and how Optibot generates PR summaries.

  • Auto summary — Automatically generate a PR summary on open.

  • Auto summary on draft — Include draft PRs in automatic summaries.

  • Summary level — Controls the detail level of generated summaries. Basic or Detailed.

  • Excluded labels — PRs with these labels are skipped for automatic summaries.

  • Excluded users — PRs from these usernames are skipped for automatic summaries.


Dependency Bundler

  • Enabled — Organizes and bundles incoming Dependabot PRs into a single consolidated PR. Reduces noise from individual dependency update PRs.

Other Settings

  • Enable CI fixer — Attempts to fix failed CI checks by opening fix PRs and/or suggesting remediation steps.

  • Tag to talk — When enabled, Optibot will only respond to comments that contain the tag @optibot. Useful for teams who want manual control over when Optibot engages.

  • Guidelines URL — Path or URL pointing to your coding guidelines file inside the repository (e.g. docs/guidelines/README.md). Optibot uses this for context-aware enforcement during reviews. You can also edit or generate guidelines from the Repository Guidelines page.


Review Fixer

  • Enable Review Fixer — Allow Optibot to automatically apply review comment fixes directly to your code when accepted.

Note: Settings are per-repository. If you manage multiple repositories, you'll need to configure each one separately from the repository selector in the Settings tab.
