chore: optimize CodeRabbit configuration for Python/FastAPI project #462
Conversation
- Add comprehensive path-based review instructions for all project layers - Configure Python-specific linting tools (ruff, flake8, pylint) - Disable irrelevant tools (JS/TS, PHP, Go, Ruby, Swift, etc.) - Add project-specific path filters to ignore cache and build artifacts - Enable auto-review for master/main branches with WIP exclusion - Configure docstring and unit test generation with pytest patterns - Adjust pre-merge check thresholds (75% docstring coverage) - Add code guidelines for Python, requirements, Dockerfile, and YAML files
WalkthroughAdded repository-wide CodeRabbit review configuration with path-based review instructions, path filters, Python-focused tooling, expanded knowledge base and code-generation guidance, auto-review adjustments, and minor whitespace fixes to Dependabot configuration. Changes
Estimated code review effort🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3✅ Passed checks (3 passed)
✏️ Tip: You can configure your own custom pre-merge checks in the settings. ✨ Finishing touches🧪 Generate unit tests (beta)

In @.coderabbit.yaml:
- Around line 31-115: The pyproject.toml PathInstruction for "pyproject.toml"
has an incorrect Black config syntax: update the Verify Black configuration
instruction (the string containing "line-length = 88, target-version = py313")
to use an array for target-version, e.g., change "target-version = py313" to
"target-version = [\"py313\"]" in the instruction text so it reflects valid TOML
for Black.

116-130: Consider adding additional cache/build artifact patterns.The exclusion patterns cover the essentials. You may want to consider adding these common Python project artifacts:
- "!**/.mypy_cache/**" - "!**/.ruff_cache/**" - "!**/.coverage" - "!**/dist/**" - "!**/build/**" - "!**/*.egg-info/**"These would prevent reviews from being triggered by type checker caches, linter caches, or build artifacts if they ever get committed.
134-141: Minor: Redundant case variants in ignore_title_keywords.The
ignore_title_keywordsmatching is case-insensitive per the schema, so including both"WIP"and"wip"is redundant. Consider simplifying:ignore_title_keywords: - "WIP" - "DO NOT REVIEW"This is purely a cleanliness improvement—the current configuration works correctly.
166-171: Consider consolidating Python linters—ruff can replace flake8 and pylint.Ruff is designed as a faster replacement for Flake8, Pylint, and many other Python linters, implementing most of their rules. Running all three may produce:
- Duplicate/overlapping warnings
- Slower review times
- Conflicting style suggestions
Consider keeping only
ruffenabled (it's significantly faster and covers most rules from both tools). If you have specific Pylint or Flake8 rules not covered by Ruff, you can enable Ruff's equivalent rule sets via configuration.♻️ Suggested simplification
tools: # Relevant tools for Python projects ruff: enabled: true flake8: - enabled: true + enabled: false pylint: - enabled: true + enabled: false
197-198: Consider keeping ShellCheck enabled for Dockerfile and CI scripts.While this is a Python project, you likely have shell commands in:
- Dockerfile
RUNinstructions- GitHub Actions workflow steps
- Potential entrypoint scripts
ShellCheck can catch common shell scripting errors in these contexts. Consider keeping it enabled unless it's producing noise.
286-294: Minor inconsistency in coverage targets.The unit test instructions specify "Target 80% code coverage minimum" (line 294), but the
pre_merge_checks.docstrings.thresholdis set to 75% (line 152). Consider aligning these values for consistency, or document the intentional difference (docstring coverage vs. code coverage are distinct metrics).

12-19: LGTM!The indentation corrections maintain consistent YAML formatting. The dependency groupings are sensible—grouping
geventwith pytest-related packages is appropriate since gevent is commonly used for async testing support..coderabbit.yaml (4)
1-30: LGTM!The base configuration is well-structured with appropriate settings for a professional Python/FastAPI project. Disabling
poemandsuggested_reviewerswhile keeping useful features likesequence_diagramsandestimate_code_review_effortshows thoughtful customization.
143-163: LGTM!The pre-merge checks configuration is well-defined. The Conventional Commits requirement in the title check (line 155-158) provides clear guidance. Setting the docstring threshold to 75% (vs. default 80%) is a reasonable starting point that can be increased as coverage improves.
260-265: Verify brace expansion support in file patterns.The pattern
**/*.{yml,yaml}(line 265) uses brace expansion syntax. While common in shell globs, not all glob implementations support this. Consider using explicit patterns to ensure compatibility:filePatterns: - "**/*.py" - "**/requirements*.txt" - "**/pyproject.toml" - "**/Dockerfile" - "**/*.yml" - "**/*.yaml"If CodeRabbit's glob implementation supports brace expansion, the current syntax is fine—this is a defensive suggestion.
296-307: LGTM!The issue enrichment configuration is appropriately conservative with
auto_apply_labels: falsewhile enabling useful planning automation triggered by the "planning" label.

196-198: Consider keeping ShellCheck enabled.While this is a Python-focused project, you may have shell scripts in CI workflows, Docker entrypoints, or utility scripts. ShellCheck can help catch common shell scripting errors in these files. Unless you're certain there are no shell scripts to lint, consider leaving it enabled.
💡 Optional: Keep ShellCheck enabled

1-7: LGTM!Header comments and basic settings are well-structured and comply with the schema.
8-30: LGTM!Review settings are properly configured and schema-compliant. Enabling
related_prsandsuggested_labelswill help with PR context and organization.
31-115: Comprehensive path-based review instructions.The instructions are well-organized by component (routes, services, databases, schemas, models, tests) with appropriate guidance for each layer. The Black formatter syntax on line 112 (
target-version = ["py313"]) is correct for pyproject.toml configuration. Based on learnings, this aligns with the project's requirement for Black formatter with line length 88 and target Python 3.13.
116-130: LGTM!Path filters appropriately exclude build artifacts, cache directories, virtual environments, and database files from review.
131-142: LGTM!Auto-review configuration is appropriate. Including both
masterandmainas base branches ensures compatibility with different Git conventions.
149-163: LGTM!Pre-merge checks are well-configured with Conventional Commits guidance for titles and a reasonable 75% docstring coverage threshold.
164-195: LGTM!Good selection of Python-relevant tools enabled: Ruff, Flake8, Pylint for Python linting, plus security tools (Gitleaks, Checkov, Semgrep) and infrastructure linters (Hadolint, YAMLlint, actionlint). The github-checks timeout of 120 seconds is reasonable.
254-274: LGTM!Knowledge base configuration appropriately includes Python-relevant file patterns and enables useful integrations.
275-295: LGTM!Code generation instructions are well-aligned with the project conventions—Google-style docstrings and pytest with async support match the review path instructions.
296-307: LGTM!Issue enrichment configuration is properly set up with planning enabled and appropriate label triggers.
