CodeRabbit Adoption Migration

Overview

Preserve every existing control until its replacement is proven. Translate outcomes and ownership instead of assuming one-to-one fields.

Prerequisites

  • Identify the CodeRabbit organization, Git provider, repository, plan, and accountable owner.
  • Read references/official-docs.md and re-check any time-sensitive contract before execution.
  • Use synthetic or read-only evidence until the approval boundary is satisfied.
  • Preserve the repository's independent CI, security, and human-review requirements.

Current Contract

  • CodeRabbit spans PR, CLI or IDE, tools, knowledge, and optional actions.
  • Configuration can be centralized and inherited.
  • Plan and provider support differ.
  • Existing human, CI, security, and compliance controls remain authoritative.

Authentication

Treat Git-provider sessions, CodeRabbit web sessions, CLI credentials, and CodeRabbit API keys as separate credentials. Use only an already-approved session or secret-manager reference, never print a secret, and do not place credentials in .coderabbit.yaml, source files, logs, or deliverables.

Instructions

  1. Inventory current tools, rules, checks, data controls, costs, metrics, and owners.

  2. Map each control to supported capability, retained control, or gap.

  3. Run coexistence in a representative pilot.

  4. Approve cohorts only when coverage and rollback evidence pass.

Tool Discipline

  • Use Glob to locate candidate configuration and evidence files without widening scope.
  • Use Grep to find relevant fields, commands, identifiers, and stale claims.
  • Use Read to inspect the smallest required files and authoritative evidence.
  • Use Write only for a new approved local draft or evidence artifact.
  • Use Edit only for a bounded approved change whose rollback is known.
  • Do not use these file tools as a substitute for authenticated CodeRabbit or provider operations.

Approval Boundaries

Require security, repository, and business owners before replacing a required control. Keep analysis and drafts local until approval is explicit, and record who approved the action and its scope.

Output

A control inventory, capability map, gaps, pilot comparison, cohorts, and decommission approvals. Include source dates, unknowns, and the exact boundary between observed fact and recommendation.

Error Handling

Condition Response
Current contract is unclear or docs disagree Stop mutation, cite both sources, and request owner resolution.
Required access or approval is missing Produce a draft and evidence plan only.
Validation or pilot behavior differs from expectation Restore the prior state and retain the failed evidence.
Output contains secrets or private code Stop, quarantine the artifact, redact it, and notify the data owner.

Examples

Example 1

Migrate from manual review while retaining two-person approval.

Example 2

Replace a bot only after equivalent coverage is proven.

Validation

  • Confirm every claim against the dated sources in references/official-docs.md.
  • Verify the requested scope, owner, approval, happy path, failure path, and rollback.
  • Re-read the effective configuration or provider state after any approved change.
  • Report unsupported fields, undocumented endpoints, and unverified assumptions as failures.
