Privacy & Security

Codecora is designed with privacy as the foundation:

  • Diff-only analysis: We only read the commit diffs (changed lines)
  • No repo cloning: We never clone your full repository
  • Zero code storage: Your code is processed and discarded immediately after review
  • Zero retention: We don't train on your code or keep any copies

Your code is sent to our service for processing, then forwarded to your configured AI provider for analysis. Results are returned immediately and your code is never stored.

Output Formats

The CLI supports multiple output formats for different use cases:

  • pretty (default): Colored terminal output with file grouping
  • json: Structured JSON for CI/CD pipelines and scripting
  • compact: Single-line per issue for quick scanning
  • sarif: SARIF v2.1.0 for GitHub Advanced Security integration
# Pretty output (default)
cora review

# JSON for CI/CD
cora review --format json --output-file review.json

# SARIF for GitHub Security
cora review --format sarif --output-file results.sarif
