Classify review comments as defects with a severity and defect type while reviewing GitHub pull requests. GitHub Defect Marker adds a lightweight, structured way to classify defects directly within GitHub pull request reviews. Whenever you start writing a review comment, a compact panel appears inside the comment box. You can simply tick “Mark as Defect”, then select a Severity (Major, Minor, Cosmetic) and a Defect Type (Missing, Extra, Risk-prone, Ambiguous, Inconsistent, Improvement, Factually Incorrect). Once selected, a machine-readable tag like #Major:Missing is automatically inserted at the beginning of your comment. Submission is blocked until a classification is provided, ensuring every defect is properly labeled and consistently formatted. Why install it? If your team relies on review findings for reporting, audits, or quality tracking, inconsistent defect tagging can become a real problem—missed labels, inconsistent formats, and manual errors. This extension removes that friction by turning defect classification into a quick, guided action instead of something reviewers have to remember. It ensures every defect comment is standardized, structured, and ready for automated processing. Key features Works everywhere you comment — supports inline review comments, replies, conversation threads, and review summaries Quick selection UI — visible one-click options instead of hidden dropdowns, with full keyboard and accessibility support Live label preview — see the defect tag update in real time as you make selections Native GitHub feel — automatically adapts to GitHub’s light, dark, and high-contrast themes Privacy-first design — no permissions, no tracking, no network requests, and no background processing; everything runs locally in your browser How it works Open any pull request, click into a comment box, and start marking defects as you write—fast, consistent, and structured by default.
