Set Up Claude Code Review to Automatically Review Pull Requests
Asking Claude to review code in the terminal is useful, but Claude Code Review is something different entirely. It's a GitHub App that automatically dispatches multiple agents on every pull request, running in parallel and cross-verifying findings before posting results as inline PR comments.
Here's how to set it up as an admin:
- Go to
claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-codein your organisation's Claude admin panel - Click Connect GitHub and install the Claude GitHub App
- Select which repositories should get automatic reviews
Once enabled, every new PR triggers a review automatically. Developers don't need to change their workflow. If you want manual-only mode, switch to that in settings — reviews only run when someone comments @claude review on a PR.
The review pipeline works in three passes: agents scan for bugs in parallel, verify findings to cut false positives, then rank issues by severity. Results appear as a summary comment plus inline annotations on specific lines.
# Manual trigger in a PR comment:
@claude review
A few things to know upfront:
- Pricing is usage-based and scales with PR size and complexity — check Settings → Usage Controls to set a monthly spend cap
- Currently in research preview for Team and Enterprise plans
This is a fundamentally different tool from piping a diff to Claude in the terminal — it's async, multi-agent, and designed to review code you didn't write.
Pair it with your existing CI pipeline and let the agents catch what human reviewers skim past.

Set up Claude Code as an automated reviewer in your CI pipeline — on every pull request, it reads the diff, checks for bugs, security issues, missing tests, and convention violations, then posts its findings as a PR comment. Your human reviewers get a head start because the obvious issues are already flagged before they look.
Before deploying, tell Claude to read your project — migrations, environment variables, queue workers, scheduled tasks, caching, third-party integrations — and generate a deployment checklist that's specific to your app. Not a generic "did you run migrations?" list, but one that knows YOUR infrastructure and catches the things YOUR deploy can break.
Instead of writing a README from memory or copying a template, tell Claude to read your project and generate one that's actually accurate — real setup instructions from your config, real architecture from your directory structure, real API examples from your routes, and real prerequisites from your dependency files.
