Frequently asked questions

A badge stays orange after I installed the tool.

Quit and reopen CodeCrab, then click Re-check Status. Verify gh auth status and claude in a terminal.

“Generate a Review Profile first” or profile missing.

The repo has no local path. Add it in Settings → Repositories; the profile then generates automatically.

No PRs in the sidebar.

Confirm the right repo is selected and gh is green, then use the sidebar refresh icon.

Will CodeCrab comment, approve or push for me?

No. Reviews are read-only. You choose what to copy and paste.

Does it change my local repo?

No. It reads the clone for context. Pre-push only reads the local diff.

Reviews use a lot of my Claude quota.

Choose Sonnet or Haiku under Settings → Models and enable only the skills you need.

Something broke, or I have an idea.
