Introducing Prereview for @phpstorm

Review local changes:

• human review: add inline comments like on GitHub
• AI review: Codex + Claude Code review Then copy as prompt for your agent

Got secrets in local .env? Afraid of a compromised dependency or agent reading your filesystem?

I built dotlock:

• store secrets encrypted in .env.secrets
• decrypted on the fly via php artisan dev

with all the supply chain attacks, I'm pushing code to GitHub the secure way

Storing files publicly on S3 (e.g. avatars): add publicPath: public and every file in the public/ subdirectory will be public. The rest stays private.

Docs for Laravel: https://bref.sh/docs/laravel/file-storage#public-files

Zero-downtime deploys can be enabled by adding versionedAssets: true This is enabled by default when setting up Bref in new Laravel apps.

I cannot express how shocked I am by how perfect it worked. (note: in this case I don't review the code)

My conclusions so far:

• use Fable for important tasks/features that you don't want to mess up (i.e. it's worth the cost)
  • that could be implementation if it's really important/risky
  • or just the plan
• Fable is also great at orchestrating big features using cheaper sub-agents (so don't think large task = lots of Fable tokens, Fable is really good at exploiting sub-agents)

If this benchmark is to be trusted, current frontier is:

• grok 4.5 (high): cheap + fast
• opus 5 (medium): best
• fable 5 (high): if you're feeling fancy and forget the rest.

Now time to see if Opus 5 is really that good. Source: https://cognition.com/frontiercode
