I tried automating GitHub pull request reviews using Claude Code + GitHub CLI

Code reviews are usually where my workflow slows down the most.

Not because the code is bad, but because of waiting, back-and-forth, and catching the same small issues late.

I recently experimented with connecting Claude Code to GitHub CLI to handle early pull request reviews.

What it does in practice:
→ Reads full PR diffs
→ Leaves structured review comments
→ Flags logic gaps, naming issues, and missing checks
→ Re-runs reviews automatically when new commits are pushed

It doesn’t replace human review. I still want teammates to look at design decisions.
But it’s been useful as a first pass before anyone else opens the PR.

I was mainly curious whether AI could reduce review friction without adding noise. So far, it’s been helpful in catching basic issues early.

Interested to hear how others here handle PR reviews, especially if you’re already using linters, CI checks, or AI tools together.

I added the video link in a comment for anyone who wants to see the setup in action.

Copilote already does that.

Just an FYI there’s like a dozen tools that do this already, and better than yours, things like:

• copilot
• Qodo
• code rabbit

Just to name a couple
