What does code-review do?

code-review is a Claude Code plugin that adds the /code-review command for GitHub pull requests. It first checks whether the PR is closed, a draft, trivial or already reviewed, and stops if so. It then collects the relevant CLAUDE.md files, summarizes the change and runs four review agents in parallel: two check the CLAUDE.md rules and two look for bugs in the changed lines only. Each flagged issue is checked again and given a confidence score, and only issues scoring 80 or more are kept. The review prints in your terminal, or posts as a PR comment when you add --comment.

When should you use code-review?

Use it when

  • A pull request is ready and you want a second reader
  • Checking a PR against the rules in your CLAUDE.md
  • You want review comments posted on the PR

Skip it when

  • Your code is not hosted on GitHub
  • You want style or nitpick feedback

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • A GitHub repository
  • The GitHub CLI (gh), installed and signed in

What it can do

  • Runs gh commands to read pull request details and diffs
  • Posts a comment on the pull request when you pass --comment
  • Launches several review subagents

From reading its instructions, not from running it.
