+### Enhanced Python Static Analysis: Flake8 Support
+
+We're excited to announce enhanced Python static analysis capabilities with [Flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/) support!
+
+[Flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/) is a Python linting utility that wraps PyFlakes, pycodestyle, and Mccabe to check your Python code for style and logical errors.
+
+See our [tools documentation](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/tools/) for more details.
