Hey,

Article 4 of the AI-Native IDP series is live:

The AI Code Review Plugin

Most code reviewers see a diff. They don't see that this service uses the repository pattern, that Service Bus calls must be async, or that entities should never be returned directly from endpoints. They don't see it because they don't know — they're reviewing code in isolation.

In this article:

• A Backstage plugin that reads the service catalog before reviewing a PR

• The AI gets the service description, dependencies, and GOTCHA heuristics before it reads the first line of code

• Reviews reference specific architectural rules for that specific service

• Webhook-driven: fires automatically when a PR is opened

The reviewer still reviews. But now they start with context, not guesswork.

Code is on GitHub: victorZKov/forge
