Dokima vs pull-request review bots

A pull request shows the change. The security question may live elsewhere.

PR review bots meet developers at a useful moment. Dokima works across the wider workspace, keeps security context between runs and maintains findings beyond a single code review.

Where it works well

Pull-request review bots has a useful job to do.

  • Giving immediate feedback where developers already review changes.
  • Catching local mistakes before merge.
  • Explaining or summarising a compact code change.
  • Keeping routine review comments close to the pull request.

Where Dokima differs

Context and review, not just another pass.

  • 01Dokima can review existing code, not only the current diff.
  • 02Architecture, attack-surface and security-assumption state persists across the workspace.
  • 03Work is scheduled by review stage instead of being limited to the PR event.
  • 04Findings remain in a dedicated security lifecycle after the change is merged.
