Slash Commands

Trigger Assay reviews directly from your pull request by posting a comment with a slash command.

Available Commands

Usage

Simply post a comment on any pull request in a connected repository:

/assay

Assay will automatically:

1. Detect the command
2. Start a review with the specified tier
3. Post results as a PR review when complete

Examples

Request a Quick Scan

For documentation changes or simple fixes:

/assay quick

Request Deep Analysis

For complex changes or security-critical code:

/assay deep

Standard Review

For most feature work and bug fixes:

/assay

Using Labels Instead

You can also trigger reviews using PR labels:

Alternative label formats also work:

• review-quick
• review/quick

Who Can Trigger Reviews?

Slash commands can be used by:

• Repository collaborators with write access
• Organization members
• The PR author

Commands from users without access are ignored for security.

Rate Limiting

To prevent abuse:

• Maximum 3 reviews per PR per hour
• Commands while a review is in progress are queued
• Duplicate commands within 60 seconds are ignored

Cost Considerations

Each slash command triggers a review that consumes credits:

Ensure you have sufficient credits before triggering reviews. See Credits & Pricing for details.

Troubleshooting

Command not recognized?

• Ensure the command is on its own line
• Check that the repository is connected to Assay
• Verify you have write access to the repository

Review not starting?

• Check your credit balance
• Ensure no review is already in progress
• Verify the repository is not paused
