Code Reviewer Agent in Claude Code

A dedicated reviewer role separates risk discovery from implementation. Inspect the diff and scope, prioritize bugs and behavioral regressions, then consider security, performance and maintenance. Suggest fixes before making unrelated changes.

#Define the review

Specify the changes, priorities and whether you want findings or remediation proposals.

textCopy
Review my recent changes.
Prioritize bugs, security issues, and behavioral regressions.
List findings first, ordered by severity.

#What the role adds

A fixed task, perspective and method can make a review more focused than an open-ended conversation. It does not prove the review is complete or replace tests.

#Common failures

Leading with taste-based style comments, ignoring the actual change boundary or presenting personal preferences as mandatory fixes distracts from real risks. Simultaneously rewriting large areas can also erase the value of an independent review pass.
