Ask about a review
Ask follow-up questions about a review and the code it covers.
A finding is short by design. When you want to know more (why it matters, whether it really applies, what a fix would look like), ask in the Review chat. The chat knows the whole review and the code it read, so you do not have to explain the context.
#Ask a question
- Open the pull request's AI Review tab. The Review chat section is under Story check and open by default. Hide closes it; when it is closed, the button to open it reads, for example, Ask Claude about this review.
- Type your question.
- Press Ask. The question shows at once and the answer follows. The button reads Answering… meanwhile.
There is one chat per review, and it covers every finding. A new review of the same pull request starts with an empty chat. One answer runs at a time.

Ask
- On a finding, press Send to chat. It is pinned to the chat as a pill. You can pin up to ten, including a story check's unmet items.
- Add a question if you want, or just press Ask to explain them.
- Read one card per pinned item: What it means, Why it matters, where it is, and What would fix it.
#What it can read
- The pull request's title and description, the review's verdict, summary and every finding, with your rewording.
- The ticket's story and its check, and the follow-up of earlier findings.
- After a deep review: the repository at the commit that was reviewed, so it can open other files. After a quick review: the diff only.
The chat can read; it cannot change files, run commands or reach the web. If the pull request has new commits since the review, the chat says Answers are about the reviewed commit; the PR has moved on. Run a new review to talk about the new code.
#Earlier chats
Earlier reviews' chats, under the chat, lists the chats of earlier reviews of the pull request. Pick one to read it. Earlier chats are read-only.
