  > we have another Claude Code agent that does a full PR review, following a detailed markdown checklist we’ve written for it.

(if you know) how is that compared to coderabbit? i'm seriously looking for something better rn...

Never tried coderabbit, just because this is already good enough with Claude Code. It helped us to catch dozens of important issues we wouldn't have caught. We gave some instructions in the CLAUDE.md doc in the repository - with including a nice personalized roast of the engineer that did the review in the intro and conclusion to make it fun! :) Basically, when you do a "create PR" from your Claude Code, it will help you getting your Linear ticket (or creating one if missing), ask you some important questions (like: what tests have you done?), create the PR on Github, request the reviewers, and post a "Auto Review" message with your credentials. It's not an actual review per se but this is enough for our small team.

thanks for the reply, yea we have a claude.md file, but coderabbit doesn't seem to pick it up or ignore it... hmmm wish we could try out claude code.

Codex is even better in my experience at reviewing. You can find the prompt it uses in the repo
