Thanks for submitting CynicalSally! Here's my review:

Project: CynicalSally CLI - Brutally honest AI code reviewer
License: MIT ✓ (OSI-approved)
Activity: Last commit April 4, 2026 ✓ (within 6 months)
Stars: 6

Assessment:
This is a fun and useful tool! The MCP server integration for Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf is well-implemented. The multi-mode approach (roast, explain, refactor, review-pr, etc.) provides good developer utility.

However, with only 6 GitHub stars, the project is still very early in its lifecycle. The awesome-opensource-ai list focuses on battle-tested, production-proven tools. The "brutal honesty" angle is entertaining but we need to see some community adoption first.

Questions for submitter:

  1. How long has this been available?
  2. Any notable users or testimonials?
  3. What's the differentiation from existing code review tools like CodeRabbit, PR-Agent, or GitHub Copilot?

Category: Section 13 - Developer Tools & Integrations (CLI Tools)

Recommendation: ⚠️ Too early for inclusion. The project shows promise but needs more time to gain traction. Please re-submit once it has 100+ stars and some real-world usage.

Please respond within 14 days if you have additional context to share.
