CodeRabbit, the pioneering platform for AI-powered code reviews, unveiled the public beta of CodeRabbit Issue Planner, a new tool designed to help engineering teams collaboratively plan and review AI prompts before passing tasks to coding agents. Seamlessly integrating with popular project management and issue-tracking platforms like Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, and GitLab, this product aims to streamline software development workflows while ensuring alignment and clarity from the very start.
With AI coding agents making code generation faster than ever, planning has emerged as the critical bottleneck in software development. When scope, assumptions, or success criteria are unclear, agents often guess, resulting in repeated prompts, misaligned outputs, and additional rework during review and testing stages. In fact, a recent CodeRabbit study revealed that AI-generated pull requests contain 1.7 times more issues than human-generated ones, highlighting the urgent need for better prompt management.

To address this challenge, CodeRabbit Issue Planner accelerates planning by automatically generating editable prompts. Teams can refine these prompts to make plans explicit, shared, and reviewable before any code is written, ensuring smoother handoffs to AI coding agents.
“The biggest failures we see with AI-generated code we review usually trace back to unclear intent,” said Harjot Gill, co-founder and CEO of CodeRabbit. “As AI agents take on more of the work of producing code, code validation can’t start at the PR stage anymore. It has to start before the code is actually written by reviewing the intent and plan.”
Unlike workflows where developers plan in isolation with an AI agent, CodeRabbit Issue Planner encourages collaborative planning. This approach brings shared visibility into intent, surfaces assumptions early, and establishes a clear source of truth for both humans and agents.

The tool works by integrating directly into existing issue workflows. When an issue is created, CodeRabbit’s industry-leading context engine gathers relevant codebase information, identifies areas likely to change, and generates a structured, editable plan and prompt. Teams can then review, refine, and align on requirements before handing the finalized prompt to their AI coding agent, avoiding lock-in.
CodeRabbit Issue Planner delivers measurable benefits, including faster workflows, improved intent and output, broader AI adoption, reduced rework, fewer AI errors, and enhanced team alignment. By making planning collaborative and explicit, the platform ensures AI agents produce code that meets expectations while reducing inefficiencies and frustration.
