CodeRabbit Release Notes

CLI v0.8.0

• Deep review: Added cr review --deep.
• Included-review availability: Run cr usage to see available included reviews, the rolling window, and when capacity returns. Add --agent for structured output.
• Continue local work in the cloud: Run cr handoff --summary /path/to/SUMMARY.md to create a new CodeRabbit Cloud task from your committed and pushed branch. Pass --summary - to read the summary from standard input, and add --plan /path/to/PLAN.md to include an implementation plan.
• Bring session context: Handoff supports up to 25 MiB per file and automatically includes an available Codex or Claude Code transcript for the current session. An unavailable or failed optional transcript upload does not block the handoff.
• Clearer agent sign-in: Agent login presents the browser URL while the callback is live and explains how to restart an expired attempt.
• Accurate oversized-review errors: Errors report file sizes only when the size is known, while retaining guidance to reduce the review scope.

Run cr update to update your CLI. See cloud coding commands for setup, transcript behavior, and retry guidance.

CLI v0.8.1

• Continue local work in the cloud: Use cr code handoff --summary <path> to start a new cloud Coding Agent task with your session summary, an optional plan, and an automatically discovered transcript when available.
• Clearer handoff results: See transfer progress, the branch and commit, transferred filenames, and a direct link to the cloud task. The existing cr handoff command remains supported, but its human-readable output has changed; update scripts that parse the previous output.
• Cloud skill import preview: cr code skills import imports local skills into the cloud library. This requires a CodeRabbit user login and Coding Agent access for the selected organization.

Run cr update to update your CLI. See cloud coding commands for usage and requirements.

Share TypeScript configuration from another repository

Programmatic .coderabbit.config.ts files can now load shared fragments from an authorized repository selected with includeRemote({ repo, path, ref? }). Omit repo to keep using your organization's central coderabbit repository.

CodeRabbit's provider connection must be able to read the selected repository. When a pull or merge request's head configuration selects it, CodeRabbit also verifies that the request author and the distinct human actor who started the review can read it.

See TypeScript configuration for repository formats and access requirements.
