The AI Code Review Agent for GitHub PRs setup prompt + walkthrough

Paste this into any capable agent and it walks you through the connections, the trigger, and a supervised first run — the whole setup, in your own words. Or skip the setup and run this exact agent hosted.

Set up an agent for me, in its own chat, that does the work of a AI Code Review Agent for PRs. Work from the files and facts I actually give it, rank what matters by impact rather than by how many items it found, and stop short of sending, filing, posting, or changing anything live unless I ask for that in the same run. Walk me through connecting Anthropic. Have it run whenever I hand it the work, and every weekday morning on whatever I left unfinished. Ask me where the source material lives, who should receive the output, and what good enough looks like for a first pass. Run one pass while I watch, then save it.

About this template

Draft the review. You hit post.

If you ship with coding agents and still own the merge button, this AI code review agent drafts the review so your reading speed stops being the bottleneck.

You get more agent PRs than you can read line by line. This fork turns Claude Code into a review gate: it reads the diff, flags high-risk lines, calls out missing tests, and drafts a paste-ready review. You post. You merge. Nothing auto-merges, ever. That refusal is the feature.

How the code review agent works

One prompt turns a PR into a verdict you can check.

Fork it and your copy boots into an isolated Firecracker microVM on your own subdomain. Log into Claude Code in the browser terminal, export a GitHub token with repo read and PR comment scope, then paste:

Review PR #N on owner/repo. Draft only - do not post.

You get back a summary, a risk list, the blast radius, and a recommended verdict. Copy it into GitHub as-is, or edit it first. Your name goes on the review either way.

What you get when you fork

The github-pr-review-gate skill under ~/.claude/skills/
A vault stub at ~/vault/repo.md for your org, repos, and risk rubric (you fill it in after forking; capture scrubbing drops secrets)
One hard rule baked in: never auto-merge

What you connect

Claude Code login or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
GH_TOKEN or gh auth login

BYOK: your keys live only inside your VM and never leave it. The VM keeps running when your laptop is closed, so a drafted review can be waiting when you open the PR.

Who this AI code review is for

For you if you ship with agents and need a lights-on review step that scales past one pair of eyes.

Not for you if you want an unattended force-merge bot. That is the opposite of this template.
