Code Review Workflow
How to use Claude Code for high-signal review instead of generic commentary
A review workflow built around bug finding, risk analysis, and missing-test detection rather than vague style feedback.
Frame review as a risk-hunting task
Claude Code review works best when asked to identify concrete regressions, behavioral risks, and missing coverage.
That matches the broader agent design: it performs best when a task has a crisp success condition.
Use file and diff boundaries aggressively
The more tightly you scope the review target, the more precise the findings become.
When the whole repository is in play, the assistant spends more budget rebuilding state and less budget evaluating risk.
- Prefer a specific PR, diff, or file set.
- Ask for findings first and summary second.
- Follow a flagged issue with a second pass only if needed.
Treat review output as triage, not a final verdict
The best pattern is review -> inspect the flagged risk -> verify locally -> patch or dismiss with evidence.
