🐶 Automated code review tool integrated with any code analysis tools regardless of programming language
The refactor bot idea seems like it'd cause a lot of problems. If you're asked to review a PR that has a bunch of formatting issues, you now need to wait for the "prettier" bot to run and fix it. And if the PR author has to make additional changes, they could accidentally overwrite the commit made by the bot if they use "git push --force", which I've seen happen several times with Github's "suggested change" feature (you can prevent that by using "git push --force-with-lease" instead, but most devs are unaware of that IME).
An alternative solution to the problem with Prettier and other tools being closely tied to your editor/IDE is to adopt editor-agnostic formats like https://editorconfig.org/ .
You'll want to keep an eye on Qodana[0] which when combined with ReviewDog[1] (and some glue script since Qodana has its own snowflake output JSON that RD doesn't read natively; engineering!) can offer suggested changes on MR/PR platforms which support such a thing [2]
I have the first two working together but not the last part yet, and Qodana is for sure a moving target but is what I've been praying for them to do for years now
