!vulqn Commands

VULQN listens for !vulqn commands in pull request comments on GitHub and Bitbucket.

Commands are useful when you want to control VULQN without leaving the PR.

Command rules

Commands are case-insensitive. !VULQN REVIEW works the same as !vulqn review.
The command must be the first non-whitespace text in the comment.
Commands inside inline code or fenced code blocks are ignored.
Unknown commands are ignored.
Some commands work as top-level PR comments, some work as replies to VULQN inline comments, and some support both.
Parsed commands usually receive an acknowledgement reply from VULQN.

Quick reference

Command	Where to post	What it does
`!vulqn review`	Top-level or reply	Queues an incremental review.
`!vulqn full review`	Top-level or reply	Queues a full review of the PR diff.
`!vulqn pause`	Top-level recommended	Pauses automatic reviews for this PR.
`!vulqn resume`	Top-level recommended	Resumes automatic reviews for this PR.
`!vulqn resolve`	Top-level or reply	Resolves all open findings or one replied-to finding.
`!vulqn ack`	Reply only	Acknowledges one finding as intentionally accepted.
`!vulqn ignore`	Top-level recommended	Turns off automatic reviews for the rest of this PR.
`!vulqn learn <text>`	Top-level or reply	Saves a team learning; replies also acknowledge the finding.

`!vulqn review`

Queues an incremental review.

!vulqn review

Use this after pushing fixes or when you want VULQN to review the latest changes without waiting for the next automatic event.

Notes:

The PR must already have a VULQN review record. For the first review, open the PR or push a commit to trigger automatic review.
This command bypasses a pause state.
It does not clear a pause. Use !vulqn resume if you want future pushes to trigger automatic reviews again.

`!vulqn full review`

Queues a full review of the PR diff.

!vulqn full review

Use this when the PR has changed enough that an incremental review would miss useful context, or when you want a fresh look after a large rebase.

!vulqn full by itself is not a command.

`!vulqn pause`

Pauses automatic reviews for the PR.

!vulqn pause

Use pause when a PR is still moving quickly and automatic reviews would create noise. VULQN stops reviewing new pushes until you resume or manually queue a review.

Best used after VULQN has reviewed the PR at least once.

`!vulqn resume`

Resumes automatic reviews for a paused PR.

!vulqn resume

The next push to the PR can trigger a review, as long as the repository and branch settings still allow it.

`!vulqn resolve`

Resolves findings.

!vulqn resolve

There are two modes:

Where you post it	Result
Reply to a VULQN inline comment	Marks that specific finding as resolved and resolves the thread when possible.
Top-level PR comment	Marks all open VULQN findings on the PR as resolved.

Acknowledged findings are not changed by the top-level command.

Use this when the team has fixed the issue or manually verified that a finding no longer applies.

`!vulqn ack`

Acknowledges a specific finding.

!vulqn ack

This command must be posted as a reply to a VULQN inline comment.

Acknowledgement means:

The team intentionally accepts the finding.
VULQN marks it as acknowledged.
The source-control thread is resolved when possible.
Equivalent findings are not re-posted on later re-reviews.
The finding remains visible in review history.

Use ack for intentional tradeoffs. Use resolve for issues that are fixed or no longer apply.

`!vulqn ignore`

Turns off automatic reviews for the rest of the PR.

!vulqn ignore

Use this when a PR should no longer receive automatic VULQN reviews. Manual review commands can still queue a review if needed.

For temporary review suppression, prefer !vulqn pause because it can be reversed with !vulqn resume.

`!vulqn learn <text>`

Saves a team learning for future reviews.

!vulqn learn <text>

Examples:

!vulqn learn This module keeps legacy response fields because mobile clients before 5.3 still depend on them.

!vulqn learn Admin exports are capped at 100 rows, so an N+1 query here is acceptable.

There are two modes:

Where you post it	Result
Reply to a VULQN inline comment	Saves the learning, acknowledges that finding, and resolves the thread when possible.
Top-level PR comment	Saves the learning only.

The text after learn is required. A bare !vulqn learn is ignored.

Good learnings are specific and tied to a team convention, compatibility rule, or accepted tradeoff. Do not use learnings to suppress entire categories of review.

Automatic pause notice

After a PR has been reviewed 5 times, VULQN pauses automatic reviews to save credits and reduce noise. The pause notice tells you to continue with one of these commands:

!vulqn review
!vulqn full review
!vulqn resolve

Manual commands let you choose whether more review is worth the credit.
