Sourcery

Choose one contained engineering task that matches Sourcery's strength: AI code review and refactoring assistant that identifies improvements and suggests maintainable code changes. Use a branch or disposable test project first, and make sure the repository has clear setup instructions, tests, linting, and version control so generated changes are easy to inspect and reverse.

Give the AI enough context to succeed without exposing unnecessary secrets. State the expected behavior, relevant files, framework constraints, and acceptance criteria. For design tools, provide the actual design system or reference screen. For review and security tools, connect only the repositories and permissions needed for the evaluation.

Inspect every proposed diff and command. Run tests, type checks, linters, security checks, and the application itself before merging. Pay particular attention to authentication, database migrations, destructive commands, package additions, generated tests that merely mirror the implementation, and changes outside the requested scope.

Before team-wide rollout, review code privacy, model training policies, repository permissions, audit logs, SSO, retention, usage limits, and expected cost. Pricing is currently classified as freemium, but confirm current plans directly with the provider.
