# Scan repo discussions
GitHub
**Git Integration (formerly Qodo Merge)** – AI code review agents for pull requests. This documentation describes the Qodo v1 experience. For the Qodo v2 documentation, click [here.](/code-review)
The `scan_repo_discussions` tool analyzes past PR discussions and metadata to identify recurring feedback patterns, then generates a `best_practices.md` file with key insights and recommendations.
The `best_practices.md` file captures patterns specific to your team's workflow, based on real PR discussions. Qodo uses it to give more tailored, context-aware suggestions in future pull requests.
**Active repositories are needed**
The tool is designed to work with real-life repositories, as it relies on actual discussions to generate meaningful insights.
Notice that **at least 50 merged PRs** are required to generate a `best_practices.md` file.
## How to use the `/scan_repo_discussions` tool
**Manual usage**
Comment on the PR:
```bash theme={null}
/scan_repo_discussions
```
Qodo will create a new PR that contains an auto-generated `best_practices.md` file.
**Note:** Since up to 250 PRs are scanned, the scan could take several minutes to complete.
## Configuration options
To force generating a PR with a new `best_practices.md` file, even if it already exists, use:
```bash theme={null}
/scan_repo_discussions --scan_repo_discussions.force_scan=true
```
To specify how many days of discussions should be included in the scan, use:
```bash theme={null}
/scan_repo_discussions --scan_repo_discussions.days_back=X # Default is 365
```
To specify the minimum number of merged PRs needed to generate the `best_practices.md` file, use:
```bash theme={null}
/scan_repo_discussions --scan_repo_discussions.minimal_number_of_prs=X # Default is 50
```
