Two Practical Tips for Automated Code Review
davidcrawshaw · x · 2026-07-13
The author summarizes the two most common issues in automated code review: getting biased by the original session context, and fixating on trivial issues.
They suggest two workarounds:
- Conduct the review in an isolated sub-agent without bringing in the original session context, so it reads the commit like it's seeing it for the first time.
- For minor issues, explicitly instruct it to trust its initial judgment, reducing nitpicking.
Additionally, they share a practical tip: using another stronger, top-tier model to do the review yields much more stable results.
