adamsreview – better multi-agent PR reviews for Claude Code

I built adamsreview, a Claude Code plugin that runs deeper, multi-stage PR reviews using parallel sub-agents, validation passes, persistent JSON state, and optional ensemble review via Codex CLI and PR bot comments.On my own PRs, it has been catching dramatically more real bugs than Claude’s built-in /review, /ultrareview, CodeRabbit, Greptile, and Codex’s built-in review, while producing fewer false positives.adamsreview is six Claude Code slash commands packaged as a plugin: review, codex-review, add, promote, walkthrough, and fix. I modeled it after the built-in /review command and extended it meaningfully.You can clear context between review stages because state is stored in JSON artifacts on disk, with built-in scripts for keeping it updated.The walkthrough command uses Claude’s AskUserQuestion feature to walk you through uncertain findings or items needing human review one by one. Then, the fix command dispatches per-fix-group agents and re-reviews the work with Opus, reverting any regressions before committing survivors.It runs against your regular Claude Code subscription (Max plan recommended), unlike /ultrareview, which charges against your Extra Usage pool.I would love feedback from Claude Code users, pro devs, and anyone with strong opinions about AI code reviews.Repo: https://github.com/adamjgmiller/adamsreviewInstall: /plugin marketplace add adamjgmiller/adamsreview, /plugin install adamsreview@adamsreview

A Claude Code plugin that delivers superior PR reviews through multi-agent orchestration, addressing the gap between existing AI review tools and production-grade code quality needs.

The pain

Developers using Claude Code face a critical gap: built-in /review and /ultrareview commands miss real bugs, while competing tools (CodeRabbit, Greptile) produce false positives and consume expensive token budgets. Engineering teams need reliable, cost-effective code review automation that catches what humans miss without creating review fatigue.

The gap

Existing Claude Code review features lack: (1) multi-stage validation architecture, (2) persistent state management across review phases, (3) ensemble review capabilities, (4) interactive walkthrough for uncertain findings, (5) automated fix-and-revalidate loops. This creates a quality/cost tradeoff that forces teams back to manual review.

Build angle

Position as the 'production-grade code review layer' for Claude Code users. Focus on: (1) demonstrable bug-catch rate vs. competitors with real metrics, (2) cost efficiency (uses standard subscription vs. Extra Usage), (3) developer experience (interactive walkthrough, fix automation), (4) enterprise readiness (persistent state, ensemble validation). Target early adopters in high-stakes codebases (fintech, healthcare, infrastructure).

Strengths

  • Solves a real, measurable problem (catches more bugs, fewer false positives than alternatives)
  • Leverages existing Claude Code ecosystem rather than competing with it
  • Cost-efficient model (standard subscription vs. premium token pools)
  • Thoughtful UX (walkthrough, fix automation, persistent state)
  • Founder has built and validated the solution on own PRs
  • Low barrier to adoption (plugin marketplace distribution)
  • Extensible architecture (six composable commands)

Risks

  • Market size uncertainty: Claude Code user base is growing but still smaller than GitHub/GitLab ecosystems; plugin adoption rates unknown
  • Dependency risk: entirely reliant on Claude Code platform; API changes or pricing shifts could break the model
  • Competitive moat is weak: Anthropic could build similar features into Claude Code natively, or competitors could replicate the approach
  • Validation gap: claims of 'dramatically more bugs caught' lack independent benchmarking; needs published metrics vs. CodeRabbit, Greptile, etc.
  • Monetization unclear: currently free plugin; unclear path to sustainable revenue without alienating users
  • Enterprise sales complexity: B2B adoption requires security audits, SLAs, and support infrastructure the founder may not have
  • Technical debt risk: maintaining compatibility across Claude Code versions and managing state persistence at scale
