Options used by the reviewer package — reviewer_options • reviewer

The reviewer package makes use of the following user-facing options:

reviewer.client supplies the underlying LLM powering the reviewer. The client argument to review() takes precedence over this option when provided. The option can be either:
- An ellmer::Chat object (e.g., ellmer::chat_claude())
- A model string in "provider/model" format as described in ellmer::chat() (e.g., "openai/gpt-5.2")
Typically set in your .Rprofile:
```
options(reviewer.client = ellmer::chat_openai(model = "gpt-5.2"))
# or
options(reviewer.client = "openai/gpt-5")
```
reviewer.pending_edits controls the maximum number of pending edits allowed at once before the model waits for user responses. The max_pending argument to review() takes precedence over this option when provided. The option must be a positive integer. Higher values reduce wait time but may feel more overwhelming and risk edit conflicts. Defaults to 2.

Typically set in your .Rprofile:
```
options(reviewer.pending_edits = 5)
```
reviewer.memory specifies the path to a file where reviewer stores user preferences learned from accepted/rejected edits. When set, reviewer uses this file without prompting. When not set, reviewer will ask for permission to write to ~/.config/reviewer/memory.md on first launch.

Typically set in your .Rprofile:
```
options(reviewer.memory = "~/.config/reviewer/memory.md")
```
