BUILD / WORKFLOW

Review code with an agent beside the team

Inspect a pull request, run the relevant checks, explain risks, and prepare a focused review for an engineer.

The problem

Engineers need fast feedback on code changes, but review time is limited and important context is spread across issues, commits, tests, and documentation.

The current manual process

A reviewer reads the diff, opens related files, checks the issue, runs tests, and writes comments. The depth of review varies with time and familiarity.

The workflow

  1. 01Read the pull request, issue, and repository context.
  2. 02Inspect changed files and identify likely risk areas.
  3. 03Run the relevant tests, lint, and type checks.
  4. 04Compare the change with project conventions and requirements.
  5. 05Prepare review comments and a short evidence summary.
  6. 06Leave final approval and merge decisions with the engineer.

Where AI and people fit

Where AI helps

An agent can inspect, test, explain, and prepare review feedback inside a bounded repository and command environment.

Where a human approves

An engineer owns the final review, merge, production access, and any decision involving architecture, security, or data integrity.

Tools involved

  • Git repository
  • Issue tracker
  • Test runner
  • CI results

Expected outcome

More consistent review preparation without pretending that an agent replaces engineering ownership.

Known limitations

Tests can miss real production behavior, and an agent can misunderstand intent. Review remains necessary for consequential changes.

Run it in Operic

Start by mapping the inputs, owner, tools, authority, and finish line. Build the AI and software steps around that process, run it on real work, and prove the result before making it a repeatable system.
