复用已有的 Claude Code / Cursor 订阅来做 review 这个思路很对——单独为 review 再开一份订阅，是我之前用这类工具最大的心理门槛。read-only 默认模式也加分。想问一下，所谓的 full repo context 在 monorepo 上怎么处理？是预先建了索引，还是只取当前 diff 附近的调用链？

We built CodeCrab as a native desktop app to give developers instant, local‑first AI pull‑request reviews without sending any code to the cloud. It works on your existing repos, runs with your own AI keys, and can review both PR diffs and pre‑push local changes. I'd love to hear what you think about the workflow and any features you'd like to see.

CodeCrab is a native, local-first AI desktop app that automates fast, precise code reviews directly from your machine—with 100% data privacy. Instead of uploading your sensitive codebase to third-party servers, CodeCrab orchestrates your local AI CLIs and developer tools (like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, and GitLab CLI) using your own keys and subscriptions. Key Benefits: 🔒 100% Local & Private: Code never leaves your laptop. Zero data leaks. 💰 Zero Extra AI Costs: Bring your existing keys or reuse your Claude Code / Cursor subscriptions. ⚡ Parallel Review Power: Run 5, 10, or more PR and pre-push reviews concurrently in the background. 🎯 Human-in-the-Loop: Surface critical bugs, security gaps, and missing tests in a clean UI while you maintain full control. Catch bugs before pushing, streamline PR workflows, and review code faster without compromising privacy.
