If you care about review quality, you probably care about configuration. And if you care about configuration, you probably want it version-controlled, reviewable, and consistent across the team.

Until now, cubic settings lived in our UI. That worked, but it also meant your review config wasn’t treated like the rest of your engineering work.

Starting today, it can be.

Introducing cubic.yaml

cubic.yaml is a single config file in your repo root that controls how cubic reviews your code.

Getting started

• If you already configured cubic in the UI, download a cubic.yaml from the portal with your existing settings

• Commit it to your repo

• cubic automatically applies it on every PR

• Anything configurable in the cubic UI can also be configured in the yaml.

Precedence and safety

• If cubic.yaml is present, it takes precedence over UI settings

• If it’s missing or invalid, cubic falls back to your UI settings so nothing breaks

Editing experience

We added validation support for VS Code, Cursor, and JetBrains so you get autocomplete and errors as you type.
