The code review loop
Agents write a lot of code quickly. The bottleneck moves from typing to judgment: deciding what’s actually right. A review loop makes that judgment repeatable instead of ad hoc.
The loop is small. After each change, ask for a review that leads with the biggest risk, read it critically, and decide what lands. The point isn’t to outsource the call — it’s to surface what you’d otherwise skim past.
Review the working changes
Before you run this
- A branch with uncommitted or unpushed changes
Review the current diff for correctness and clarity.
Lead with the highest-risk issue. For each finding, name the file and the
reason it matters; skip style nits unless they hide a bug. End with a one
line verdict: ready to land, or what to fix first.
Run it, read the verdict, and either land the change or send back the one thing worth fixing first. That’s the whole practice.
