Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | oss-pr-reviewer | Proval | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 6.3 | oss-pr-reviewer — Pick this if you maintain a repository where the pull requests arrive faster than you read them; pick a hosted review bot if you want comments to land on the pull request itself. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 4.8 | oss-pr-reviewer — Large changes are split into batches with fixed character and file limits, so a defect whose two halves land in different batches is a defect nothing in the run can see. |
| El Profesor | 7.0 | 6.0 | oss-pr-reviewer — Responses are validated with a schema, findings are deduplicated and severity-filtered, and a truncated file list is marked explicitly incomplete with skipped files listed by reason. |
| La Inversora | 5.5 | 4.5 | oss-pr-reviewer — 112 stars, one author, permissive licence and no commercial layer anywhere. This is a utility somebody wrote for their own queue and published, which is the most common shape here. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 6.3 | Proval — One container image against our own Git host, which is the shortest path to production on this board, and there is still no console and no audit export. |
| El Hacker | 5.3 | 7.8 | Proval — AGPL-3.0 and it takes any compatible endpoint, including Ollama and llama.cpp, so the one tool that reads all my code never has to phone anyone. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
