Repository Settings

Customize how Jasper reviews each of your repositories.

Accessing Settings

  1. Sign in to the Jasper dashboard
  2. Navigate to Repositories
  3. Click on the repository you want to configure
  4. Select the Settings tab

Available Settings

Automatic Reviews

Control when Jasper automatically reviews pull requests:

  • Enabled - Review all PRs automatically (default)
  • Disabled - Only review when manually triggered

Review Triggers

Choose which events trigger a review:

  • On PR open - Review when PR is created
  • On push - Review when new commits are pushed
  • On reopen - Review when a closed PR is reopened

File Filters

Include or exclude specific files from review:

# Exclude patterns
*.md
*.txt
tests/**
docs/**

# Include only specific patterns
src/**/*.ts
lib/**/*.js

Branch Protection

Configure which branches should be reviewed:

  • All branches - Review PRs targeting any branch
  • Protected branches only - Only review PRs to main/master
  • Custom pattern - Specify branch patterns

Repository AI Guidelines

Customize how Jasper reviews your code by adding project-specific guidelines. Jasper supports the AGENTS.md standard and similar AI instruction files.

Supported Files

Jasper checks for these files in order of priority:

  1. AGENTS.md - The recommended standard
  2. .github/AGENTS.md - GitHub convention location
  3. .github/copilot-instructions.md - GitHub Copilot format
  4. .jasper.md - Jasper-specific format

How It Works

When enabled, the contents of your AI guidelines file are automatically included in every code review prompt. This lets you define:

  • Coding standards and conventions
  • Architectural decisions and patterns
  • Areas requiring extra scrutiny
  • Project-specific rules and requirements

Example AGENTS.md

## Code Review Guidelines

- Follow PSR-12 coding standards
- All public methods need docblocks
- Flag any raw SQL queries
- Ensure proper error handling
- Check for security vulnerabilities

## Architecture
- Use repository pattern for data access
- Controllers should be thin
- Business logic belongs in services

Managing AI Guidelines

In the repository settings, you can:

  • Scan - Check your repository for AI guidelines files
  • Re-sync - Refresh the cached content from GitHub
  • Toggle - Enable or disable including guidelines in reviews

Content is automatically synced every 24 hours, or you can manually refresh at any time.

Quality Gate Thresholds

Quality gates define minimum standards that PRs must meet. When a review doesn't meet these thresholds, Jasper can automatically request changes or block merging.

Available Thresholds

Metric Description
Minimum Score Overall review score (0-100) required to pass
Max Critical Issues Maximum number of critical issues allowed
Max High Issues Maximum number of high-severity issues allowed
Max Medium Issues Maximum number of medium-severity issues allowed

Inheritance from Organization

Repositories can inherit quality gate thresholds from your organization defaults. To use organization defaults:

  1. Enable "Use organization defaults" in repository settings
  2. Any changes to organization thresholds automatically apply
  3. Override individual settings while keeping others inherited

See Organization Quality Gates for configuring organization-wide defaults.

Default Settings

New repositories inherit settings from your organization defaults. You can configure organization-wide defaults in the organization settings page.

Tags & Organization

Use tags to organize repositories and quickly filter in the dashboard:

  • Add tags like "frontend", "backend", "critical"
  • Filter reviews by tag in the dashboard
  • Group related repositories for easier management
