## What it is
Sashiko is an agentic code review system for the Linux kernel that ingests patches from mailing lists, GitHub PRs, GitLab MRs, or local git, and reviews them using a multi-stage protocol of kernel-specific LLM prompts. It is a self-contained Rust tool with a web interface and CLI, supporting multiple LLM providers, and is also run as a public service reviewing all LKML submissions.

## Use cases
- automatically review linux kernel patches
- find bugs in kernel commits before they land
- monitor lkml mailing list for new patches to review
- review a github pull request with an llm agent
- run local kernel patch review from a git repo
- reduce false positives in automated code review

## When to choose
- you maintain or contribute to the Linux kernel and want automated pre-merge review
- you need kernel-specific review prompts covering architecture, security, and concurrency
- you want a self-contained reviewer that works with multiple LLM providers
- you want to watch lore.kernel.org or forges for new patches automatically

## When to avoid
- you need code review for non-kernel or non-C projects
- you require deterministic, guaranteed bug detection rather than probabilistic LLM output
- you cannot send proprietary code to external LLM providers
- you need email-based output, which is not yet supported
