When to Use the Code Assistant

Use Case	Example Prompt
Compliance Analysis	"Analyze our codebase for IEC 62304 compliance"
Pull Request Review	"Summarize our latest pull request"
Change Impact Analysis	"Analyze the last 5 commits and identify affected design controls"
Release Preparation	"It's release time—compare our repo against our project items for discrepancies"

Example Prompts

1. Change Impact Analysis

Review the commits in this release and identify which requirements 
or specifications may need updating

Returns: List of commits, affected functionality, suggested design control updates

---

2. Pull Request Summary

Give me a summary of our latest pull request

Returns: PR description, files changed, potential compliance implications

---

3. Compliance Review

Analyze our codebase and documentation for IEC 62304 compliance gaps

Best Practices

1. Be Specific: Include context about what you're looking for

   • ✅ "Review error handling in the API layer for FDA compliance"

   • ❌ "Check the code"

2. Large Tasks: If you request broad changes (e.g., "analyze these 10 PRs"), the assistant will propose a step-by-step plan for your approval before proceeding

3. Provide Context: Mention relevant item IDs, version numbers, or specific areas of concern

Limitations

• Requires an active GitHub connection with appropriate permissions

• Cannot access repositories not connected to your Ketryx project

• PR creation requires write permissions on the repository

• Analysis is limited to code—cannot directly modify Ketryx configuration items (but can suggest updates)
