Problem

At the moment Duo Code Review is commonly starting comments with the phrase "According to custom instructions in" but almost always when I see this the comment then goes on to describe something that it made up.

See example !196727 (comment 2616229084) .

Even if it was in the "custom instructions" Duo Code review is not linking to those instructions for the reader to even know what is being referred to.

I believe this statement causes more confusion.

Solution

Either:

  1. Stop adding this statement to messages
  2. Add a link to the custom instructions file so the reader knows what is being referred to AND also try to ensure that Duo Code Review is actually referring to a specific instruction there
