1) Install the app

  1. Install the Ponzu GitHub App to your org or user account.
  2. Select repositories where you want AI review support.
  3. Grant required permissions for pull requests, issues/comments, checks, and metadata.

2) Verify installation health

After install, confirm:
  • webhook delivery succeeds
  • app can read PR metadata and comments
  • app can post or edit review comments

3) Trigger your first review

In a PR thread, mention:
@ponzu review
Ponzu should respond with a structured synthesis review.

4) Use the dogfood loop

For each major PR update:
  1. Request @ponzu review
  2. Use Suggested Fix Prompt to resolve top blockers quickly
  3. Capture iteration metrics (time-to-first-review, rounds-to-green, merge lead time)
  4. Feed those metrics into usage/billing model design

Troubleshooting

  • No response: check app install scope and webhook permissions.
  • Delayed response: check CI/check-run webhook backlog.
  • Missing context: ensure PR comments and reviews are accessible to the app.
