The problem isn’t your agent.

It’s the missing plan.

Agentic Plan reduces friction and accelerates your workflow by helping teams define scope, assumptions, and success criteria before code is written.

How it works
STEP 1:
Connect your issue tracker

Integrates with Linear, Jira, or GitHub Issues. CodeRabbit watches for new tickets.

STEP 2:
Generate a Coding Plan

CodeRabbit’s industry-leading context engine pinpoints files to change and gathers the right context, then creates a plan.

STEP 3:
Collaborate on the Coding Plan

Your team reviews, comments, and refines before any code is written.

STEP 4:
Handoff to any coding agent

Easily handoff prompts to any agents of your choice or export to Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf. No walled gardens or lock-ins.

Accelerate your workflow

CodeRabbit highlight the files that need to be changed and the plan for changing them.

Improve intent, improve output

Improve intent, improve output

Send agents the requirements, assumptions, and context they need to generate actually usable code.

Reduce rework

Background

“As a CTO of a fast-moving ai-native engineering org, CodeRabbit Issue Planner is a no-brainer. It not only saves hours per engineering task, but because it's CodeRabbit, I know I can actually trust it.”

CodeRabbit Issue Planning FAQ

What is CodeRabbit Issue Planner?

Issue Planner automatically generates structured coding plans from your tickets. It analyzes the issue, researches your codebase for relevant context, and produces an editable plan your team can review before handing off to any AI coding agent.

How is this different from just prompting a coding agent directly for a plan?

When you prompt an agent directly, it makes assumptions about scope, architecture, and conventions. Issue Planner front-loads that work, gathering context from your codebase, surfacing the files that need to change, and giving your team a chance to align on the approach before code is generated. The result: fewer iterations, less rework.

Which issue trackers does it support?

Currently Linear, Jira, GitHub, and GitLab. 

Can I customize when plans are generated?

Yes. You can configure rule sets based on labels, projects, assignees, or custom criteria. For example, you might only generate plans for issues labeled "feature" or assigned to your team.

What coding agents can I hand off to?

Any of them. Issue Planner produces a refined prompt you can copy or send directly to Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, or any other agent. There's no lock-in.

Do I have to use the AI-generated plan as-is?

No. The plan is fully editable. Your team can chat, adjust the approach, or ask the AI to go deeper on specific areas before finalizing.

How does collaborative planning work?

Each plan has a chat interface where team members can discuss, request changes, and align on the approach. Think of it like a pull request review, but for the plan itself., before any code is written.

What's included in a plan?

A typical plan includes: the overall approach, research findings (relevant files, patterns, dependencies in your codebase), and a phased coding plan with specific tasks. Each section is expandable and editable.

Does this replace code review?

No. Issue Planner helps you plan better before code is written. CodeRabbit's AI code review still reviews the actual code after it's generated. They're complementary.

Is my code sent to external services?

CodeRabbit processes your codebase to provide context. Your code never leaves CodeRabbit's secure infrastructure unless you explicitly hand off a prompt to an external coding agent.
