Feature preview: REVIEW.md support for Kilo Code Reviews
We just shipped an early preview of `REVIEW.md` support for Kilo Code Reviews.
You can now add a `REVIEW.md` file to the root of your repository to give Kilo custom review guidance for that repo. This lets you define the standards, conventions, risk areas, architectural patterns, and team-specific expectations that Kilo should consider when reviewing pull requests.
Why this is useful:
- More control over how Kilo reviews your code
- Repo-specific guidance instead of one-size-fits-all feedback
- Better alignment with your team’s engineering standards
- A simple way to call out areas Kilo should pay extra attention to
- Easier customization without changing every review prompt manually
For now, this is a feature preview. Organizations and individuals need to enable it manually by turning on `Use REVIEW.md` in:

Next week, we’re planning to enable this by default for all organizations. You’ll still need to add a `REVIEW.md` file to your repository for Kilo to use it.
We’ll share a bigger announcement and more examples soon, but if you want to try it early, enable `Use REVIEW.md`, add a `REVIEW.md` file to your repo, and let Kilo start reviewing with your team’s own context.
