Tip: Have Your AI Agent Classify PR Merge Risk by Reversibility and Blast Radius
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-09-18
Matt Pocock shares a practical trick for AI-assisted code review: have your agent classify each PR's merge danger before humans spend review time.
Two dimensions:
- One-way vs two-way door: changes involving expensive migrations or hard-to-reverse work need thorough review; easily reverted changes don't.
- Blast radius: the bigger the potential damage, the closer the review.
The idea turns risk assessment itself into a task you can delegate to an agent, reserving human attention for high-risk merges.
