How to request a technical review

Have Boki's technical review agent check your code and technical claims.

Overview

The technical review agent verifies accuracy. It can run code in a sandbox, check facts, and identify inconsistencies in technical content.

Prerequisites

• An article or brief with technical content
• At least 50 words of text to review

Steps

1. Open your article in the editor
2. Select the text you want reviewed (minimum 50 words)
3. Click the sparkle icon that appears, or right-click and select "Ask Boki"
4. Choose Technical review from the options
5. Wait for the review

What the technical review checks

Code accuracy:

• Syntax errors
• Logic issues
• Outdated APIs or methods
• Missing error handling

Technical claims:

• Statistics and numbers
• Version compatibility statements
• Performance claims
• Security assertions

Consistency:

• Variable names used correctly throughout
• Terminology used consistently
• Steps that match the code shown

Example

You select a paragraph about database indexing:

"Adding an index to the user_id column improves query performance by 10x. In PostgreSQL, you create an index with CREATE INDEX idx_user ON users(user_id)."

The technical review might respond:

• ✓ Syntax is correct for PostgreSQL
• ⚠ The "10x improvement" claim needs a source or benchmark
• 💡 Consider mentioning that index creation can lock the table

Result

After a technical review, you'll have:

• Identified inaccuracies to fix
• Confidence in verified claims
• Suggestions for improvements

You decide what to act on. The review is advisory.

Tips

Select complete sections: Include the context around code snippets, not just the code.

Be specific in follow-up: If the review flags something, ask follow-up questions like "Find a source for that statistic" or "What's the correct API call?"

Review iteratively: Fix issues, then request another review on the updated section.
