DevFeedbackAI

Generate quarterly developer feedback from Phabricator or git activity.

Overview

DevFeedbackAI collects engineering activity for selected developers, then asks a language model to turn that raw work history into concise quarterly feedback. It currently supports:

• Phabricator: closed Maniphest tasks, task comments, and Differential revisions.
• Git: local repository commit history, commit messages, and changed file stats.

The output is markdown with Delivery, Quality, and Behavior sections.

Features

• Provider-based activity fetch: use --provider phabricator or --provider git.
• Flexible selection: pick developers with --users; Phabricator also supports --teams.
• Repo-local git support: point at any local git checkout with --repo.
• Configurable model command: defaults to claude -p, configurable through .env.
• Tracked example config: copy .env.example to .env for local settings.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/almostturingcomplete/DevFeedbackAI.git
cd DevFeedbackAI
cp .env.example .env

Prereqs:

• Python 3.
• A model CLI configured locally. By default this is claude -p.
• For Phabricator: arc on PATH, authenticated for Conduit.
• For git: a local git repository with commit history.

Usage

Phabricator:

./dev-feedback-ai 2026-01-01 --provider phabricator --teams Engineering
./dev-feedback-ai 2026-01-01 --provider phabricator --users alice,bob

Git:

./dev-feedback-ai 2026-01-01 --provider git --repo /path/to/repo
./dev-feedback-ai 2026-01-01 --provider git --repo /path/to/repo --users "Alice <alice@example.com>,bob@example.com"

The old executable name still works:

./manager-ai 2026-01-01 --provider git --repo /path/to/repo

Configuration

.env is loaded automatically when present.

DEVFEEDBACKAI_PROVIDER=git
DEVFEEDBACKAI_GIT_REPO=/path/to/repo
DEVFEEDBACKAI_MODEL_COMMAND=claude -p
