# Custom Reviewers

### Custom Reviewer Concept

A custom reviewer is a code review agent that users configure by writing a dedicated reviewer system prompt. This reviewer functions according to the unique configurations set by the user, evolving over time with adjustments. We recommend writing domain & language specific system prompts so Baz will be sure to invoke the correct custom reviewer when your diffs include changes relevant to this review.

#### Steps to Implement

1. **Write System Prompt:** Define the criteria and objectives for the review process.
2. **Configure Baz:** Set up the tool to invoke the custom reviewer based on your configurations.
3. **Test on CRs:** Use the Reviewer Creator to test and refine the reviewer prompt on real change requests (CRs).

By fine-tuning the system prompt and managing configurations, users can continually enhance the effectiveness of their custom reviewer.
