With agentic coding, PRs are larger, faster, and harder to reason about. I needed a system that was faster, but I absolutely did not want to just hand things off to an AI and call it a review. Built-in tools exist. Claude Code has /review or /deep-review , and GitHub Copilot's PR review is decent out of the box. If you just want an AI pass, they work fine. But I am not optimizing for just an AI pass; I am optimizing for understanding and architectural signal. Here is a repeatable framework I use to let AI handle the heavy scanning, while I keep the heavy thinking and judgment firmly in my own hands.
