Prx

Prx: Pull request review manager that uses local coding agents or LLM APIs to inspect code while reserving final approval for humans.

Prx is a local pull request review lifecycle manager designed for a single developer's machine. It watches configured GitHub repositories, delegates code reviews to local coding agents or LLM endpoints, and posts the resulting findings back to GitHub. The architecture isolates the workflow: agents only analyze the diff and generate a local JSON manifest, while Prx posts inline comments and leaves final approvals strictly to the user. Supported engines include coding agent CLIs like pi, claude, and codex, as well as OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenAI-compatible APIs such as Ollama. Interaction occurs through a macOS menu bar client, a command-line interface, or an internal localhost JSON API.
