“It is built to be run by your coding agent rather than by you, which is the first tool here honest about who its actual user is.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Proval | revmux | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 6.0 | Proval — Pick it if your reviewers are the bottleneck and you want a first pass before a human looks; pick nothing if your problem was never the queue. |
| El Crítico | 4.8 | 5.5 | revmux — It performs no scope detection and fetches nothing itself, so the review is entirely a function of the context whoever called it happened to write to disk. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.3 | revmux — The triage profile runs a four-way panel over an issue and returns the arguments rather than a verdict, declining to average away the disagreement. |
| La Inversora | 4.5 | 5.0 | revmux — 67 stars, no measured adoption, one maintainer, and a deliberately tiny tool with no service, account or edition anywhere near it. |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 5.0 | 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 | 7.8 | 6.0 | 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.
