It’s likely that the review is still occurring automatically because GitHub’s configuration hierarchy prioritizes repository settings over individual ones. I suggest checking the following: Repository/Organization Settings: Check Settings > Copilot > Code Review within the repository. If the project administrator has enabled automatic review for the repo, it will override your personal settings. GitHub Actions: Verify if there is a workflow (a .yml file) that triggers Copilot Review via a CI/CD action. Feature Differences: Make sure that what you are seeing is an actual code review (inline comments) and not a Pull Request summary, as these features are configured separately." |

I got an unwanted Copilot AI slop code review in twpayne/chezmoi#4974. I had already disabled Copilot in my repository and personal settings. How can I block Copilot completely from my repos? |

Following up on this, it seems that the person creating the slop PR also requested that Copilot review it. How do I prevent users from requesting Copilot reviews? |

It appears you have disabled the setting at the user level, but GitHub often prioritizes repository or organization-level configurations. To fully disable automatic reviews for this specific project, you should check the following: Repository Settings: Navigate to your repository's Settings > Copilot > Code Review. Ensure that the automatic review toggle is disabled there. Organization Policy: If you are working within an organization, an admin may have enforced automatic reviews globally. You can verify this in the Organization Settings under the Copilot tab. Check .github configs: Occasionally, specific GitHub Actions or configuration files (like copilot-instructions.md) might trigger specific behaviors, though the UI toggle is usually the primary culprit. |
