## About

# Configure Agentic Code Reviewer (.acr.json)

Create or update the repo-level `.acr.json` that controls the Agentic Code
Reviewer's Stop-hook gate, model choices, and review scope.

## Recognized `.acr.json` keys

Only these keys are read — never write anything else:

| Key | Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| `disableStopHook` | boolean | `true` fully disables the session-exit review gate for this repo |
| `stopHookMode` | `"prompt"` \| `"auto"` \| `"disabled"` | Gate behavior: ask before reviewing, review automatically, or stay silent |
| `models` | object | Per-role model overrides: `{ "balanced": "...", "fast": "...", "judge": "..." }`. Values must be **full model IDs** (e.g. `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`), not aliases |
| `outOfScope` | string[] | Glob patterns for changed files reviewers should treat as out of scope (only CRITICAL security findings are kept for them) |

Related: a repo-level `.acrignore` file (gitignore-style patterns, no `!`
negation) excludes files from the review diff entirely.

## Steps

1. **Read existing config.** Check the working tree `.acr.json` first, then
   `git show HEAD:.acr.json`. Also check `.acrignore`. Preserve any existing
   keys you are not changing.

2. **Map the user's intent:**
   - *"Stop reviewing, I'm still working" / "pause reviews"* → set
     `"stopHookMode": "disabled"`. Mention the session-only alternative
     (`export ACR_STOP_HOOK_MODE=disabled`) and how to re-enable
     (`"stopHookMode": "prompt"` or delete the key).
   - *"Never review this repo"* → set `"disableStopHook": true`.
   - *"Only review when I ask"* → set `"stopHookMode": "disabled"` and note
     `/code-review` still works manually.
   - *"Ask me before reviewing"* → `"stopHookMode": "prompt"` (the default).
   - *"Review automatically"* → `"stopHookMode": "auto"`.
   - *"Reviews are too slow"* → suggest faster `models` overrides and pruning
     scope with `outOfScope` / `.acrignore`.
   - *"Don't review X"* → add glob(s) to `outOfScope` (kept but deprioritized)
     or `.acrignore` (excluded from the diff entirely). Prefer `outOfScope`
     unless the user explicitly wants files invisible to reviewers.

3. **Propose scope exclusions when creating a new file.** Inspect the project
   and suggest `outOfScope` globs for: generated code, vendored dirs,
   migrations, snapshots/fixtures (e.g. `**/__snapshots__/**`,
   `migrations/**`, `vendor/**`, `**/*.generated.*`). Lockfiles, minified
   assets, images, and build dirs are already excluded from the diff by
   default — do not add them. Show the proposed JSON and ask the user to
   confirm before writing.

4. **Write the file.** Valid JSON, 2-space indent, only recognized keys.
   `.acr.json` takes effect immediately — no commit needed (the gate reads
   HEAD first, then falls back to the working tree). Suggest committing it if
   the team should share the config.

5. **Confirm.** Summarize what changed and what behavior to expect at the next
   session exit.

## Proactive suggestion

The review gate records consecutive `no`/`skip` answers per repo in
`~/.claude/agentic-code-reviewer/skip-counts.json` (or `$ACR_SETTINGS_DIR`).
When the user has skipped 3+ prompts in a row, or their messages indicate they
are mid-work and don't want reviews yet, offer once — do not nag:

> You've skipped the last N review prompts. Want me to create `.acr.json` with
> `"stopHookMode": "disabled"` so the gate stays quiet while you work? You can
> re-enable it later or keep using `/code-review` manually.

Only write the file after the user agrees.
