The b4 patch management utility used by Linux kernel developers now offers optional AI-assisted code reviews through its new text interface, with creator Konstantin Ryabitsev confirming successful 'dog-fooding' tests using Claude Code to analyze b4's own patches.
The b4 tool, essential for Linux kernel developers managing patch submissions and review workflows, has entered a new phase of development with integrated AI-assisted code reviews. Maintainer Konstantin Ryabitsev of the Linux Foundation has built a text user interface (TUI) enabling developers to leverage large language models (LLMs) like Claude Code during patch analysis. This weekend marked a significant milestone: Ryabitsev confirmed successful "dog-fooding" where b4's AI agent reviewed patches for b4 itself.
